Saw this in the help tab looks like theres been quite a bit of thought in it and you're keeping track of changes. My only suggestion would be trying more of a storm approach with artifacts that go positive on mana and cards like Retract and Paradoxical Outcome . They give you another angle of attack and can make for very swingy turns or double as protection from mass artifact destruction. Ps. Gave you your 10th like; you didn't need to ask. I've found the more work and more effort and inventive you are; the more likes you'll get. Keep on fine tuning and maybe add a primer to better organize your card selection.

RNR_Gaming Thanks for the like :P but more importantly, thank you for the suggestion. This is probably the most time I've spent on putting a deck together since I did my first EDH deck with Angels. I've spent hours researching, looking at other Alela decks, following up on them, and watching the card suggetions on EDHrec increase as more and more decks are being made. I still have yet to see one coming even close to what I've put together. I do plan on adding to the description, and making a primer isn't out of the question. Just the time required to format it and make sure I don't miss anything is hard to come by with two toddlers running around.

As for your suggestions, I love them. I didn't even know they existed. Retract is amazing and will find a home here. Paradoxical Outcome is intriguing as well with that card draw attached to it.

I just wish all the 0 and 1 cost artifacts weren't so damn expensive.

my play group doesn't mind proxies. They only want to fight against the strongest deck a person can make; not what their budget allows. Find a play group like that. My only other advice is to just play test, tune, and rinse and repeat. You'll miss something but as long as you learn from it, it's not big deal; the faster you put it out the more people can help you learn =). I actually undervalued a card called Kenrith's Transformation it's the new green spyce. anyways best of luck.

I'm not a fan of Coat of Arms . It always seems win-more to me, especially if your play group runs a lot of tribal. I also think that here the Grand Architect / Pili-Pala combo isn't very good. You only have 3 infinite mana sinks in the whole deck and one of those is Steel Hellkite .

If you want some pure jank, Shimmering Wings lets you repeatedly make a token for 2 mana.

enpc Arcitect/Pala is in there mainly for when I can get Walking Ballista , and I'm also looking for another insta-win or two to go with it. But it's also something I'd be willing to cut, at least Pili-Pala .

Shimmering Wings I like, for the name and infinite token potential. I just wish I had stronger non flyers that I'd want to put wings on. Hmmmm..

I like big fliers, but can see what you mean with Coat of Arms . Good thing I'm the tribal guy in my group.

Kindred Discovery calling faeries will draw lots of cards with this commander. And can draw you out if you combo with anything that bounces permanents to your hand, so lab man would work as a win con if you go combo oriented.

pskinn01 already had Kindred Discovery on my to get list :)

Didn't think about Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries . They would work well with Kindred Discovery, as well as Coastal Piracy , Bident of Thassa , and Faerie Formation . Definitely looking into it.
