Aleisha, Who Smiles by LadyTheMonster

Format: Commander

Commander: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Mardu reanimator built around Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard early, then attack with Alesha to repeatedly return power-2-or-less creatures for value. The usual finish is Master of Cruelties setting a player to 1 before Alesha's first-strike damage, or the Karmic Guide/Reveillark sacrifice loop for infinite damage. Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate acts as a hidden backup engine, and Smile at Death, Carmen, and Windcrag Siege make each attack more explosive. The deck is aggressive, low-curve, and dense with tutors and draw, but it is fundamentally tied to the graveyard.
