Last_Laugh on Alela's Artifacts Makes Tokens Do Stuff

3 months ago

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

This is a fun build!

I goldfished a bit to get the gist of it, and Radiant Solar did much of the heavy lifting. An early Tortured Existence also greatly helped setting up the graveyard.

In my meta I would not play Tergrid ever, it is just so OP and an instant Archenemy card. This deck is so casual, I would rather have something like Reconnaissance Mission or The Indomitable to refill my hand and play "fair Magic".

You have some slow lands in here, have you considered switching bounce lands and surveil lands for filter lands and Pathways?

Hoping this is helpful,

Liking this build, I see you are still updating it so I am bringing in a few ideas.

You already have 2 enchantments that make you draw cards when your creatures impact, but if you would like to add consistency you could consider Bident of Thassa and The Indomitable. I actually like these more than Rhystic Study.

It seem like Impact Tremors would be a blast in here, pun intended.

All these spirits would most certainly be even more of a threat with haste. A Hammer of Purphoros would have the added benefit of an option to generate tokens.

Finally this seems to be a great place for Helm of the Host; having multiple instances of Kykar trigger would help fill the battlefield with those pesky flying spirits.

Hope this inspires you!

The Indomitable ?

I'd swap Graceful Adept for Library of Leng. Cheaper, harder to remove, and added bonus against discard.

Cancel for any other counterspell. There are plenty of 1UU with upside such as personal favorite of mine, Admiral's Order. Rewind, Dissipate, Unwind and Negate are also solid budget options. Personally not a fan of Mana Leak-esk counters since if an opponent has a ton of Mana, they become useless. Also, Defense Grid is an odd choice for a blue deck since it hurts your own counters on your opponents turn.

I'd consider trying to find room for a card or cards like Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, and The Indomitable.

Single protection to consider, Mithril Coat is amazing, Commander's Plate always pulls a ton of weight in mon color (may hurt commander's unblockable agaimst another monoblue but otherwise really helps), Dive Down not amazing, just a pet card when it was in standard.

Looks like a good start. Personally I would make these swaps:

Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Reconnaissance Mission
Ral, Izzet Viceroy -> The Indomitable
Ancestor's Aid -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Mizzium Tank -> Valor in Akros
Goblin Electromancer -> Distant Melody

Ohran Frostfang, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Reconnaissance Mission, Bident of Thassa, Coastal Piracy, The Indomitable, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, and Marcus, Mutant Mayor are all excellent draw engines here. I personally recommend running 3-5 of these but especially Ohran.

What a great deck; love it, so definitely a +1 from me! Lots of similarities between yours and mine. I had completely forgotten about Manifold Key and Unwinding Clock; need to find some space in my own deck for those. I recently acquired The Indomitable, so that will be going in for sure too.

As for your deck, Nautiloid Ship could be nice. Awesome to screw around with opposing boards :) I've found Armed and Armored is fantastic when for whatever reason you've run out of pilots but not vehicles (like right after a creature-wipe). Lita, Mechanical Engineer is also fun; especially if you can generate steady streams of pilots :) Speaking of pilot generation: Sharding Sphinx is amazing as vehicle damage translates into new pilots.

Have fun with the build!
