I am testing the following swaps:

1. Avenger of Zendikar > Famished Worldsire

2. Felidar Retreat > On Wings of Gold

3. Echoing Deeps > Kavaron, Memorial World

4. Tectonic Reformation > Exploration Broodship

Some of these swapsaccomplish a secondary goal of mine to remove as many landfall payoff cards as possible. Exploration Broodship is coming in for a card draw slot, and that may be rough. Lets see if this sticks.

alchemist4533, Thank you for the suggestion. I have added Felidar Retreat to the deck along with a few others that were in my maybe list that I finally got my hands on. I played it with these additions a few times and I am very happy with the the way it played!

I really like this. My deck is in the mail now and I am looking forward to getting it ready for game day. It may not be the exact flavor, but have you considered Felidar Retreat? +1/+1 counter Landfall (or creature tokens in a pinch) and provides vigilance for all.

I didnt actually notice the land tax + endless horions aspect of it. I wonder how that's gonna play out in your landfall deck. I'm curious to see.

Storage Matrix - I know you said you will go over the usual suspects later but I wanted to throw this old number at you and see your take on it for this deck.

Felidar Retreat > Graceful Antelope ?

Archaeomancer's Map - Solid all around.

I guess my concern is that if your Commander isn't available (Oubliette and it's ilk can lock a Commander down, and even if you run x10 ways to blow up an enchantment you have to have one available at the right moment or you're not doing much) you lose access to your mana dorks. I think it wouldn't be much fun to get stuck without your Commander in a deck like this, but if you're not running into issues it's probably silly to change!

Just a thing I thought of since you mentioned a possible interest in wipes, I use Fell the Mighty, Tragic Arrogance, and Austere Command in White decks that are trying to wipe mostly (or only) the opponent's creatures. Green isn't great at wiping creatures, so you'll probably want to look at the White options. White has lots of wipes that can kill creatures with power over 3 (or 4), I wasn't sure if those would apply.

Since you like going fairly wide, here are a few anthems I play: Crescendo of War, Felidar Retreat, and if you can find a cheap copy maybe Gavony Township. If you're fairly patient Call for Unity can be impressive (mostly with Proliferate). Crescendo of War is a really weird card, but as long as you tend to have more creatures than other people it will usually be in your favor. It works well with Vigilance as well, since it will always buff your blockers (making you a very unappealing target compared to an unbluffed defender).

Apollo_Paladin on BUG - Modular Historic - Arena build

Nice! Refreshing to see an arena deck out there that's not just someone netdecking & trying to pass it off as their own. +1 for originality

Personally, in such a creature-heavy build, I would put in some protection from boardwipes and/or heavy targeted destruction decks. I like Teferi's Protection for this, but Guardian of Faith is another decent choice. If you do add protection stuff, I would focus on "phase-out" protection over blink effects or things like Dawn's Truce, simply because Sunfall and Farewell are still popular threats in many decks and phasing out won't remove the counters you're building on each creature.

Felidar Retreat is another one that might benefit you, since it's passive creature counter generation and can also repopulate your board if you do get wiped. The vigilance also lets you be more aggressive with your attacks since you don't have to worry about giving up blockers.

In any case, nice to see more Arena players using this site. Feel free to add me if you want to playtest or even just discuss deckbuilding (Arena info is on my profile here)

Cheers!

Last_Laugh on Alela's Artifacts Makes Tokens Do Stuff

Nice to see another Alela list and good job keeping your avg mana cost low. I have some suggestions for you and I'll try to break it down by category and keep things budget friendly. If you're picking up what I'm putting down and need help with suggested cuts, just holler.

CARD DRAW:

Breena, the Demagogue is amazing here. It incentivizes opponents to attack one another for card draw while your creatures get the +1+1 counters and you get the draw/counters twice for attacking the 2 opponents with higher life.

Starscream, Power Hungry  ^Flip brings the Monarch mechanic into the game which will draw you an extra card at your end step but you'll also smack an opponent for 2 for every card you draw while you're the Monarch.

Plumb the Forbidden in response to a boardwipe ensures you have a grip full of cards to redeploy. Instant speed and pseudo dodging counterspells makes this card.

Reconnaissance Mission/Bident of Thassa/The Indomitable/Coastal Piracy - I personally run 3 of these effects... they will draw you a ton of cards.

CREATURE BUFFS:

Skyhunter Strike Force will buff all your attackers +3+3 just for attacking all 3 opponents. Bonus points for not needing to attack itself.

Nykthos Paragon because your commander is an evasive lifelinker and this guy is an enchantment. The low bar here is you hit for 2 with Alela and everyone gets 2x +1+1 counters, then 4 the next turn, then 8, and that's assuming Alela only had 2 power to start.

Felidar Retreat is another go-wide counters effect that works wonders here.

MISC.:

Fanatical Devotion let's you sac tokens to save your actual creatures.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Alela's Aerodynamics: A Crash Course

From Tsukimi's prompt

Family Retreat {2}{W}{W}

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a creature spell with its Offspring cost, choose one -

• Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.

• Choose a creature type and scry 1. You may reveal the card and put it into your hand if it shares the selected creature type.

---

I was looking at stuff like Felidar Retreat for templating. I considered adding a limiting clause to the scry mode to only happen twice each turn, but I figured the intensiveness of Offspring costs would already be prohibitive enough.

---

Create a card that punishes your opponents each time they pay an Offspring cost.
