This deck is a modified version of the Alesha, Who Smiles under a Budget (Under $20) deck by user TheAceOfHam, switching out some cards that I didn't think would be so useful for me and adding some nastier cards that are still on the cheap end of things, and a few other cards that I already own that I think would suit the deck's strategy of lots of saccing and recursion. Just a fun little budget deck I'm mostly just putting together for my own personal use, suggestions welcome as I'm still piecing it together!

What I wanted for this deck was one where almost every single card in it can be recurred from the graveyard in some way, with a couple of nasty combos that can score one-hit kills against defenseless opponents, in the form of using Alesha to recur Minion of the Wastes or Master of Cruelties from the graveyard and go face.

Otherwise, the ideal play involves overwhelming people with creatures that keep getting bigger with +1/+1 counters through various means such as Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Cathars' Crusade and Gleam of Battle, sacrificing them for my benefit when necessary, and dealing damage when I do sacrifice them through Zulaport Cutthroat and Wayward Disciple  . And in a pinch I can recur Avalanche Riders every turn with Alesha to slow down anyone who's ramping too quickly.

I've been trying to keep this deck pretty cheap, ideally under $60 because I have a very limited income, but I'm really tempted to swap out Indestructibility for Darksteel Plate despite how much that would add to the deck.

Anyway, I'm not sure what else I can say about this deck! Let me know what you think, and if you have any recommendations for cards that you think would be good in this deck I'd be delighted to hear them!
