The title is ironic, because paradox engine is banned and the deck is too budget to purchase it. So first off why Alela? She's a great commander, rewards playing enchantments but also is geared for decks that are strong enough to win anyways if Alela is disabled. As of now it focuses on casting anthem affects such as Dictate of Heliod to generate tokens and pump those said tokens. I am primarily setting up this deck with the intention of finding budget suggestions. I'm mostly looking for win conditions involving artifacts and enchantments, but any cool value generating ideas would be deeply appreciated as well. The Budget is 100 dollars, I know that's a restraining amount in these colors, I don't mind if you submit some wild expensive cards, might help brainstorm ideas. Gimme your most brutal and honest criticism. Think the decks sucks, you can say that as long as you tell me how to fix it. Trying to become a better player. Thank you for your time
