Main Strategy:

Flood the board with tokens and swing. Synergies: About a third of the deck consist of artifacts and enchantments which will trigger Alela creating faeries. There are a couple of different ways to get key enchantments like Bitterblossom or Anointed Procession , to increase the amount of faeries that are coming out. There are also a number of anthems/lords ( Etchings of the Chosen , Glen Elendra Liege ) to increase the p/t of our flying faeries to hit harder. With that sizable swarm of faeries, we'll use Odric, Lunarch Marshal with Alela to give all those tokens deathtouch and lifelink.

Another path to victory is with Alela, Artful Provocateur herself. enchanting her with Righteous Authority and pumping her with all the anthems and lords makes he viable to KO someone pretty quick.

Then if those strategies aren't coming online fast enough or strong enough, then there are a few combos that can be strung together to hopefully close out the game fast.

Infinite faeries:

Alela, Artful Provocateur + Ornithopter + Retraction Helix + Mirran Spy :
With Alela, ornithopter and Mirran spy on the battlefield, cast Retraction Helix on Mirran spy. the spy to bounce the thopter. Recast the thopter. Alela triggers creating a blue faerie token. Mirran spy triggers untapping itself. Repeat to create infinite blue faeries.

This loop + Sage's Row Denizen : mill out opponents.
This loop + Dire Undercurrents : draw out opponents.

infinite mana:

Grand Architect + Pili-Pala : Pay to turn Pili-Pala into a blue creature until end of turn. Then using Grand Architects ability, Pili-Pala to add to your mana pool and use that mana to Pili-Pala to add to your mana pool. and then repeat to create infinite mana

Deadeye Navigator + Pestermite + Gilded Lotus :
Soulbond Deadeye with Pestermite. gilded Lotus to add to your mana pool. Use to blink Pestermite which Gilded Lotus. Repeat to create infinite mana.

This loop + Sage's Row Denizen : mill out opponents.
This loop + Dire Undercurrents : play out entire deck OR mill out opponents.

Deadeye Navigator + Cloud of Faeries + at least one two mana producing land: Soulbond Deadeye with Cloud of Faeries. Pay to flicker the cloud to a two mana producing land and an additional land. those lands to produce at least 1 and two of any other color. Repeat to add infinite mana of any color you can produce.

This loop + Sage's Row Denizen : mill out opponents.
This loop + Dire Undercurrents : play out my entire deck OR mill out opponents.

mana sinks:

Oona, Queen of the Fae + infinite mana:
Exile each opponents library for the win

Faerie Formation + infinite mana: As many blue faerie tokens as cards I have left in my library to draw, then play out my entire deck
