Hey all, This is my first brewed Commander deck, starting out with Tolarian Community College's Alesha, Who Smiles at Death DeckTech as a shell, and then taking out a few combo pieces such as Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, infinite mana generators like Ashnod's Altar + Nim's Deathmantle, and a few direct tutors like Entomb and Gamble, and replaced them with more creatures that had fun synergies and effects that didn't make the deck entirely overpowered. Through trading and some upgrading I came across cards like Flayer of the Hatebound which, when combined with a discard outlet and then brought back with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death a second time, can itself deal up to 18 damage in a single turn which makes for a hell of a surprise swing (sac, undying reanimates for 5 damage, sac again, attack and reanimate with Alesha dealing 4 more, 4 combat damage if unblocked, sac one last time and reanimates for 5 more damage). Additionally, I took out land hate cards like Avalanche Riders because my specific playgroup doesn't focus too much on that, but if I were to change playgroups I would likely add it back in.
