I've liked the artwork of Vela the Night-Clad for a while now, and I've been wanting to build a deck around her. However, I decided to build my chaos deck first, and though it was extremely fun to play (at first). It quickly became tiring to play with, so I shelved it and continued playing my Intet Dragon deck. Now that deck is becoming a little stale for me, so I've built this deck in hopes that it will be as fun as my dragon deck is.
In my eyes, there are three ways to build around Vela the Night-Clad. There is the more controlly sacrificial build that focuses on producing tokens with cards like Oona, Queen of the Fae , Abhorrent Overlord, and Grave Titan and sacrificing them for Vela's secondary effect and other sac effects. Another way is similar to this build with its bounce, but it focuses on controlling the board and slowing it down so that it can find one of its infinite combos, like those that involve Time Sieve or Cloudstone Curio, and win the game instantly.
I feel this build is a more natural build for Vela that focuses on using both of Vela's abilities. Vela's abilities work extremely well with the ninjas. And so, this deck focuses on dealing unblockable damage, triggering various effects, and self-bouncing creatures with ninjas and other abilities for Vela.
Any input is appreciated as I'm pretty inexperienced with building decks. Feel free to note any card that should be replaced or suggest other cards.
One stipulation I put on myself is not to purposefully put in two card kills, so no Palinchrons (Palinchron + Vela = Insta-kill lol).
The sideboard consists of cards I believe should go into the deck, but I don't know where I should add them. The maybeboard shows the cards I'm not sure about and cards that used to be in the deck.
Also, Danny's f**king beautiful.
