Alesha Combo deck by zhvanzilla

Format: Commander

Commander: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu aristocrats/reanimator deck helmed by Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. The plan is to fill the graveyard with cheap looting and milling, then either recur small creatures through Alesha's attack trigger or reanimate them directly, converting every death into life loss through a dense drain package. The primary win conditions are infinite combos: Murderous Redcap + Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + a sacrifice outlet loops persist for infinite ETB/death triggers, and Karmic Guide/Reveillark/Felidar Guardian lines generate the same, all funneled into Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, or Judith, the Scourge Diva. Alesha herself is a value engine rather than a combo piece - the deck's win lines live entirely in the 99, making it unusually resilient to commander removal.
