I played this deck tonight against
Karona, the False God,
Anje Falkenrath, and
Baird, Steward of Argive
I started off with a land, Sol Ring, Spellskite. I was able to hit my land drops and get Alela turn 4 (I was missing a color before this). I to cast my
Sage's Reverie on Alela and, next turn, I followed it up with
Estrid's Invocation. And, of course, I am only realizing now that I completely ignored the trigger or I could have been flickering the Invocation to get more draws. Oh well.
I was able to get Ephara down around turn 6 but that is the turn the Baird wrathed the board with
Hour of Devasation. Not a huge deal, but it set me back a little. I was able to cast Alela again next turn, followed by some Auras the turn after. Ephara kept drawing me cards throughout everything.
SIgarda's Aid also came down which ended up being exceptionally important. Since I was getting out of control again, Baird cast
Wrath of God. I had just drawn on their turn from Ephara and I draw
Shielded by Faith. Aid allowed me to cast it in response to Wrath which ended up saving Alela. She never left the field again for the rest of the game.
From here, I just kept building her up. She was Indestructible and I got
Swiftfoot Boots on her to make her untargetable. From her, the best players could hope for was something like
Merciless Eviction which they never got to.
I killed Anje first and then went after Baird next. I was then able to kill Karona with 17 commander damage at once (they had 6 from before). I didn't get to kill Baird with commander damage as they were low enough to just die to the first hit from Alela.
While I haven't been doing much to make changes to it, this is still a fun deck that performs rather well. I am not sure how much I care to put a lot of focus into it (Karador and Ephara are always a higher priority since I want to keep my Primers up to date) but it is still a good deck to pull out at times to offer something different.
