You obviously need some fodder, but what deck doesnt have a spare Clue or Treasure floating around these days
In the old days I sometimes used the approach of Cavern of Souls plus Sigarda, Host of Herons, since she couldnt easily be countered, killed, or blocked
The Hero is a 2/2 that churns out 1/1 dorks for your gold spells while the Dryad is just a 1/1 but it gets counters as you cast stuff that's White, Blue, Black, or Red
The best steel cards in Rise of the Floodborn, Disney Lorcanas newest set, provide players with some excellent defensive options
But it is not the matchup you want to play in the final round of a tournament
Token generation, incremental pressure, and the constant feeling that your board is quietly getting out of hand all echo the same patterns that made Faeries such a frustrating and beloved archetype
