Alesha Who Smiles At Death Budget Aristocrats by Buddadragon

Format: Commander

Commander: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu reanimator deck helmed by Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, built to fill the graveyard (via Faithless Looting, Stitcher's Supplier, self-mill) and then repeatedly reanimate creatures with power 2 or less by attacking with Alesha. The primary win condition is an infinite death trigger loop using a persist creature (Putrid Goblin, Lesser Masticore, etc.) + Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit (to remove -1/-1 counters) + a sacrifice outlet (Viscera Seer, Bartolom del Presidio). Blood Artist effects (Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance, Mayhem Devil) drain opponents during the loop for a game-ending combo. Secondary plans include combat attrition with reanimated creatures and incremental value from Midnight Reaper and Tocasia's Welcome. The deck relies heavily on Alesha s combat trigger for explosive reanimation, making graveyard hate a critical vulnerability.
