Alesha's ability works well with Arcbound creatures. The idea is to turn her into an artifact, stack her with counters and Voltron down your opponents (or maybe use Marionette Master?). There are a few other good targets for stacking counters on to try and end games, notably Shadrix Silverquill and Inkmoth Nexus.

The Ozolith and Resourceful Defense are MVPs because (as I understand it), they essentially double the counters passed on via modular abilities and give the deck resilience even if Alesha gets taken out. Special mentions to Teysa Karlov, Drivnod, Carnage Dominus and Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp. With a couple of these out and a means of copying or recycling Arcbound creatures (like Alesha herself), the counters start increasing exponentially and can catch people by surprise, especially because a lot can be done to shift around counters in the attack step.

Disclaimer - not well tested, and probably not very good, as it requires too many fragile pieces out to function. It's tricky to find the balance of Arcbound/other artifact creatures, other +1/+1 counter support, sacrifice and discard outlets, evasion for Alesha and other attackers, miscellaneous protection and artifact "transmuters", not to mention ramp/removal/draw. Lots of possible options in the maybeboard, and I will likely continue to tinker, especially once I get some testing in. The deck is probably never going to be very competitive, but I really like the idea and I'm determined to take it to its maximum potential.
