Got myself a Fierce Guardianship and a few new pieces. Took out the cards I don't have. Deck reflects what I have in my deck box. Looking for suggestions on what else to upgrade the deck.

Also, considering taking it to a more combo based deck.

Hey, cool Deck! Maybe check out my Alela Deck for some additional ideas.

I would suggest Gift of Immortality for protecting your Alela. Quite versatile and also Hall of Heliod's Generosity is a good land to replay your enchantments.

LordTea thanks for the kind words. I saw your deck and left a few thoughts for you.

Gift of Immortality is interesting. I'd prefer artifacts, but it's worth looking into. I'd like it more if the return to the battlefield would trigger Alela.

Hall of Heliod's Generosity is something I thought about, but with only 6 enchantments, I'm not quite sure that it's worth a spot in the utility lands. It entering untapped and having a plethora of colorless artifacts does make it worth a second look though.

I thought of a few suggestions for your already impressive build, although I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for. I can see combos/win-cons all throughout your build. The thought and planning you put into developing it is meth-tweaker commitment lol

A few things that might give you some ideas... Sword of the Meek to help with your thopter + ashnods infinite mana combo. Paradox Engine although I heard it might be banned. Last suggestion, for now, is you might want to throw Urza, Lord High Artificer or even a Memnarch in there is a win-con on its own with infinite mana..I had more suggestions but Im hungry. Peace, good luck

Panharmonicon and Chief Engineer would also be good considerations

CloseTalker, thanks so much for the suggestions. I keep going back and forth on Chief Engineer, on the one hand, more cost reduction for storming off, and on the other hand, there is already alot of cost reduction in the deck.

Not certain Panharmonicon is right for me in this deck. But that may just be me underestimating it.

Urza is too expensive for my liking, but maybe something I go with in future upgrades.

I have been looking into Memnarch :)

I'm not sure Sword of the Meek would work with Alela out because if the +1/0 she grants and I will rarely have her off the field to utilize it.

And I like the meth-tweaker commitment comment. I'm taking it as a compliment lol. And it has now become apart of my vocabulary, so thank you for that. I'm hoping to pick up the remaining pieces I need to have the deck look as you see it here, but I got sidetracked upgrading and tweaking my Syr Gwyn deck.
