{"ops":[{"insert":"It's enchantment bounce, inspired by the Dimir Bounce and Azorious Fliers decks in standard right now. The deck thrives by repeatedly casting and bouncing annoying enchantments that deplete your opponents' resources and flood your board with faeries. Nearly every creature in this deck has flying, and makes use of Alela's buff to beat down life totals alongside their added utility.\n\nThe first kind of board configuration that can take over the game involves Stax enchantments + bouncers. Stax enchantments in this deck look like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mana Breach"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Oppression"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rule of Law"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Laboratory"}},{"insert":", or most powerfully, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Out of Time"}},{"insert":". Each of these can grind the game to a halt, but you break the symmetry by having reliable bouncers on board like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Essence Reliquary"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Umbilicus"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blood Clock"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Words of Wind"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Riptide Chimera"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shimmerwing Chimera"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shi'ar Soldier"}},{"insert":". Then, you're free to deploy more threats on your turn, and replay those enchantments before passing. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Out of Time"}},{"insert":" is the most powerful to stick because it denies all opponents access to their creatures on their turn, and you can repeatedly phase out whatever creatures they cast each turn, though you'll need a non-creature bouncer to create this lock. A very similar and powerful lock, though not Stax-y in the same sense, is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Solitary Confinement"}},{"insert":"—with saboteur draw engines like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reconnaissance Mission"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Waterbender Ascension"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Enduring Curiosity"}},{"insert":", you can often very easily outpace the upkeep costs, or you can leverage instant-speed bounce to avoid the sacrifice "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"and"},{"insert":" still draw in your draw step, letting you buy back cast triggers and remain very hard to deal with.\n\nThe second kind of configuration you can work towards is an oppressive amount of enchantment ETBs and discard synergy. Several enchantments here force opponents to discard upon entering, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tinybones Joins Up"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bandit's Talent"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hopeless Nightmare"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Disinformation Campaign"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Refurbished Familiar"}},{"insert":" (not an enchantment, but a flier that still triggers Alela). With the help of bouncers and enchantment discounters like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inquisitive Glimmer"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Starnheim Courser"}},{"insert":", you can recast these enchantments several times a turn. Alternatively, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thoughtrender Lamia"}},{"insert":" with any other enchantments work just as well.

Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"It's enchantment bounce, inspired by the Dimir Bounce and Azorious Fliers decks in standard right now. The deck thrives by repeatedly casting and bouncing annoying enchantments that deplete your opponents' resources and flood your board with faeries. Nearly every creature in this deck has flying, and makes use of Alela's buff to beat down life totals alongside their added utility.\n\nThe first kind of board configuration that can take over the game involves Stax enchantments + bouncers. Stax enchantments in this deck look like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mana Breach"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Oppression"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rule of Law"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Laboratory"}},{"insert":", or most powerfully, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Out of Time"}},{"insert":". Each of these can grind the game to a halt, but you break the symmetry by having reliable bouncers on board like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Essence Reliquary"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Umbilicus"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blood Clock"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Words of Wind"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Riptide Chimera"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shimmerwing Chimera"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shi'ar Soldier"}},{"insert":". Then, you're free to deploy more threats on your turn, and replay those enchantments before passing. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Out of Time"}},{"insert":" is the most powerful to stick because it denies all opponents access to their creatures on their turn, and you can repeatedly phase out whatever creatures they cast each turn, though you'll need a non-creature bouncer to create this lock. A very similar and powerful lock, though not Stax-y in the same sense, is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Solitary Confinement"}},{"insert":"—with saboteur draw engines like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reconnaissance Mission"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Waterbender Ascension"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Enduring Curiosity"}},{"insert":", you can often very easily outpace the upkeep costs, or you can leverage instant-speed bounce to avoid the sacrifice "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"and"},{"insert":" still draw in your draw step, letting you buy back cast triggers and remain very hard to deal with.\n\nThe second kind of configuration you can work towards is an oppressive amount of enchantment ETBs and discard synergy. Several enchantments here force opponents to discard upon entering, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tinybones Joins Up"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bandit's Talent"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hopeless Nightmare"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Disinformation Campaign"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Refurbished Familiar"}},{"insert":" (not an enchantment, but a flier that still triggers Alela). With the help of bouncers and enchantment discounters like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Inquisitive Glimmer"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Starnheim Courser"}},{"insert":", you can recast these enchantments several times a turn. Alternatively, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thoughtrender Lamia"}},{"insert":" with any other enchantments work just as well. In these scenarios, the guy you really want on board is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead"}},{"insert":", who will spawn more fliers and keep your hand full. Aclazotz is truly the secret commander of this deck, and he has infinite aura.\n\nLet's talk about some of my favorite card interactions:\n\nA really funny/evil configuration is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thoughtrender Lamia"}},{"insert":" + "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Amphibian Downpour"}},{"insert":", as you can turn an opponent's storm count (or your own) against them by repeatedly bouncing and casting Downpour and wiping your opponents' hands."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Estrid's Invocation"}},{"insert":" can become a big nuisance for your opponents in combination with more expensive control enchantments like"},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Legend of Yangchen // Avatar Yangchen"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Thoughtrender Lamia"}},{"insert":" that are too costly to bounce and redeploy each turn."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"There are three tutors in this deck that are carefully chosen: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Invasion of Theros // Ephara, Ever-Sheltering"}},{"insert":" notably can grab protection in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fae Flight"}},{"insert":", a control piece in the form of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Amphibian Downpour"}},{"insert":", or big papa "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead"}},{"insert":" if your discard engines are running. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Perplex"}},{"insert":" gets so many pieces, as most of the symmetric Stax enchantments are three mana as well as repeatable bouncers like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Essence Reliquary"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Words of Wind"}},{"insert":". Last, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wishclaw Talisman"}},{"insert":" is just really funny to bounce to your hand, since you can activate it and use "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Essence Reliquary"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shi'ar Soldier"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sunpearl Kirin"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"This Town Ain't Big Enough"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Geistwave"}},{"insert":" to bounce it in response so an opponent doesn't get to use it."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Your opponents just can't let "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zur the Enchanter"}},{"insert":" stick around on the board.
