This was an extremely high quality breakdown of the new deck and covered everything important. Also, it made me chuckle a couple times. Thank you

Thank you so much for this specific breakdown! I was definitely more excited for Alela when I saw the deck, but people were covering Tegwyll mostly from what I was seeing! Can't wait to try some of the changes you suggested :D

Amazing breakdown, this is definitely the style of deck I’m building with this precon.

Thanks, this was a fantastic video. All of the additions and cuts were explained very well! I never thought I'd say this as a grown man, but I can't wait to get me some faeries!!!

Love the upgrades. Would like to see you make a deck with Hylda of the Icy Crown. Great work as always.

Great content so just subbed! Really helpful to see your suggestions. I’ll make a few tweaks to stay 100% fully in faerie flavortown, but looking forward to getting my hands on this deck.

If you build Alela I highly recommend EDHRECs page of Nymris, oonas trickster. Pretty much same playstyle in the same color. Thats why my suggestions for Alela are: Rewind, unwind and a mana rock that untaps itself in every opponents turn: victory chimes

Built around these untaps myself and also cloud of faeries can go infinite using cloudstone curio and either archmage of Echoes or Reflections of littjara + lands that tap for more than one mana. Did not know the mana rock though, thanks for the tip.

so far I liked your upgrade video best by far

Very interesting upgrades. Talion, The Kindly Lord would work well with Telepathy. I will upgrade quite a few of my lands as well. Thank you for the video.

I use unwinding clock and sword of feast and famine in my nymris deck. I like tapping low and untapping my mana. Feels more daring but pays off most of the time.

Oh you know I slammed the preorder for this deck and I'm so glad we finally have faerie commanders

Nice! I also prefer Alela over Tegwyll and I love Dire Undercurrents from back in the day.

Thanks.

I’m really glad you chose Alela, as I just bought this Precon and I want to try a Tempo Deck. Sadly, Mistbind Clique is $16 for Heavily Played now.

Cool build! I also went with Riptide Laboratory and Venser. I also agree with all but 2 of your cuts. Nettling Nusiance is very often creating 3 tokens a turn. They cant block each other so they deal damage or trade for actual creatures. Nettling Nusiance could be outputting 12 hasty power the first turn its down and 15 each turn thereafter. I think its one of the few wincons in the 99 and fits with the goad mechanic on Alela, which is what I built around; Misleading Signpost/Portal Mage recursion and Propaganda effects with Bident of Thassa and similar effects. I also think that depending on your build, Shadow Puppeteers is just Craterhoof Behemoth and is a great wincon. I noticed your upgrades included a lot of non-flyers, so I can see why you cut it, but in my build 80% of creatures fly. Cheers and thanks for the content!

Yeah, I agree that Nettling Nuisance is great. it was my last cut, and will probably make it back in the deck when something doesn't measure up to my expectations.

First of all, thank you very much for that Precon Guide. I bought that Precon because I just love Faeries and it's my reentry Deck for MTG after a couple of years of abstinence from the Game. Now to my Question. You mentioned 5 Cards in your Bonus Section. If I had these cards, which Cards should I cut for them?

Good job!

Dang yeah bitterblossom is probably my no1 favorite card in all of magic also. A faerie tribal has always been a goal of mine, and now is the perfect time with a good precon, all the new faerie support in eldraine, and 2 awesome new bitterblossom artworks. Pretty exited.

Bitterblossom has 6 different arts now, and they're all great!

I want to build this with the uncommon as the commander. Lucky for me, I have all the really good cards for this deck. Mana Drain, Flusterstorm, Bitterblossom, Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Fetch lands, other dual lands, etc.. Man, we need to figure out this algorithm out and get your sub count up!

Had to come back as it's release week. I did buy the Faerie deck and I must say, it's quite an incredible amount of value for $40. Also I totally played Alela as my commander and barely tweaked it with 5 new cards, never drew any of them, and destroyed my friends in the first and second games. I can't believe how well it runs.@@JParnellMTG

I looked at this deck and thought it was a little bit weak, but with these changes it could be quite fun. Well done

Glad to see Alelea again

Same! Love that both make Faerie tokens, for different reasons.

Displacer Kitten and Vedalken Orrery would slot nicely in this deck as well.

If I have Alela and one token in the Battlefield: Can I cast Tegwylls Scouring like it Had flash? Say that you would like to cast it, creating a token with Alela and then tapping two Tokens and Alela?

@JParnellMTG

9 ай бұрын

Great question! You do have to already have to meet the requirement to give it flash, you'd need 3 untapped flyers prior to casting it.

So did you end up putting Theoretical Duplication or Puppeteer Clique back in after some games?

Also Crystal Shard is a hidden gem that can return an opponent's creature if they're tapped out!

Crystal Shard is great for sure! Also helps return your own creatures to play again.

I did! Bitterblossom for life!

i was thinking about checking the price of the deck just buying singles because i already have like a third of the deck, and i dont really like where the $ value is put. I really like your upgrade thinking and because you cut just more cards among the new one, i think i will go down this way, but still i have to check. To WOTC : if the deck was 30 ish euros/dollars like it was not so long ago then it would have been a no brainer, and you would get 30 euros from me instead of maybe 0 and maybe 60 as i would consider buying both....

@edh_alters7116

Yeah I mean $40+ for a precon isn't very attractive. It's not like it's Commander 2016/2017 power level. Those decks warranted that price point as they were standalone products.

@simplyyunak3189

The deck was 34€ as I ordered it. And it will be again 34€ in 6 month when hype around it is dead again

Can I get ONE deck tech that does Tegwyll??? He's seriously card draw in the command zone and I'm honestly burnt that literally no one has even tried. Everyone is taking the easy route 🙄

@JParnellMTG

Several other comments mentioned the opposite- several deck techs focused on Tegwyll and appreciated that I did Alela.

This version of the deck just looks like you’re existing with 1/1s (that sometimes get bigger) while cutting back on the occasional threat. I get the build is with a casual table in mind- but I feel like a casual table will get annoyed by the sheer amount of interaction if you’re having a good game or just completely roll over you if you’re not.

@JParnellMTG

10 ай бұрын

I think more interaction is great at all levels of power and competitiveness. Lots of 1/1s can go a long way if your opponents have to hit each other too.

@surlyfixedcog

10 ай бұрын

@@JParnellMTG thanks for the reply! I agree interaction is important- but the deck doesn’t seem to do anything but interact. 1/1s with evasion are great and goad is a super fun mechanic, but I don’t see the deck closing out games. Alela having the “once per turn” and “one or more faeries/per player” text really limits how far you can go and that’s assuming she sticks. Cutting Shadow Puppeteers from the precon without finding a replacement seems like running elfball without an overrun effect.

So buy the second commander and make an 80% new deck. Got it.

@JParnellMTG

10 ай бұрын

The second commander is in the deck already, and the % change of non-land cards is 40% (or 25 cards), which is pointed out in the video.

@danbigelow2189

Isn't 25 optional new cards objectively better information than 5-15? The deck will still function without any upgrades. For me these videos are sort of just a reminder of cards that have synergy with the deck, and to see what other peoples thoughts are with the general direction of the upgrades.
