Alesha, Who Smiles at Death has recruited an army of small dudes with powerful ETB effects and she will command them to battle for the Mardu Horde!

This is my first attempt at a deck for her, so it's likely I've missed some things that could be very cool to use in conjunction with Alesha. In the meantime though, may her army never die!

After some testing with the deck it plays a lot differently from what you would expect out of a 3 mana commander. Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is much better in the later parts of the game when there are actually creatures in the graveyard since there are very very few ways to actually mill yourself in the deck. As such, the deck plays like a control deck with a tonne of small creatures, every little guy just messing with opposing plans and jumping in the way of things until Alesha gets out there and starts returning them to play to mess with more things. This deck is the opposite of explosive up until you have a way to make multiple attack steps happen and even then you're just getting a tonne of value, not doing a lot to win the game. I'm not sure how to really improve it, but I certainly like the feel. I think it's a good 3rd player deck.
