People believe fairies to be sweet and innocent, but dear viewer beware for they most certainly are not. The aes sidhe are mischievious, malignant beings with a deep dislike and intolerance for humans ... and planeswalkers. Oona, Queen of the Fae and her army of Otherworld beings are determined to put their enemy in their rightful place - oblivion. Taking life totals, infecting them or milling them to their end - it really doesn't matter. Her Majesty really is not that fussed, just as long as the foe suffers.

You see, the Irish and Scots of old (and some even still today) felt apprehension to the aes sidhe and what they could be capable of. Most people deny the existence of the aes sidhe except in the Insular Celtic countries - well, they are about to do the same to the foe's creatures. You see, the aes sidhe ensure that once a human crosses into the Otherworld, their perception of time and thus their own Memory is Plundered. A kind of Psychic Surgery was performed on the unfortunate soul. Whenever a curious soul would attempt to catch a glimpse of them, they would wipe their memories - a Psychic Intrusion. Fairies are known for their covetous urges, so the new Eldraine set has provided me with that addition. Drown in the Lake is a clear mythological reference to fairies such as the Beann Fhionn (the White Lady), who drowns people in the lake. The kelpie is also known for having a penchant for drowning its victims.

These Thieving Sprite(s) cause a great amount of Fear in the Old Irish, Scottish and in their descendants to this day. In other countries, people no longer fear Faerie Trickery. Faerie Tauntings are now branded nothing more than superstition ... oh woe betide those who do not heed the words of old. For there are those in the pagan faith who ask Advice from the Fae and take Tempting Contracts from these notoriously tricky blighters - something one hopes they take precautions in doing before setting one foot into an Otherworld Court of Cunning. Into the Fae Court, hence, is also an obvious inclusion. Likeness Looter and Makeshift Mannequin are presentations of just how tricky the aes sidhe can truly be.

These are most of the cards that are on theme with the ancient Celtic lore of the Otherworld and their residents, the aes sidhe. Naturally this deck also includes the Banshee of the Dread Choir to keep in with the Otherworld theme. Glen Elendra Liege, Scion of Oona and Nymris, Oona's Trickster are obvious inclusions. Read the Bones is a simple card draw. Counterspells such as Didn't Say Please are a must-have as Oona is unlikely to be left alone. Recursion is included. Clone Legion is one of my favourites - essentially, play with someone else's deck. Thanks to the new Eldraine set, Obyra and Talion have come to Oonna's court as allies in her battle for Otherworld domination on the battlefield.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about this deck. Upvote if you do and I would love to hear your comments!
