Alesha, Who Smiles at Death Combo/Stax multiplayer list which tries to accomplish one of several combos, first and foremost Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer which is easily set up with Buried Alive tossing those two plus Karmic Guide into the yard - then reanimating Karmic Guide with Alesha's ability, Karmic Guide reanimates Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, then tap Kiki to make a copy of Karmic Guide, then with the copy of Guide reanimate Village Bell-Ringer who will untap all of your creatures upon the trigger resolving. The combo is now live as Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker makes a vast multitude of bell-ringing hasty 1/4's.

                        Secondary Combos

Animate Dead + Leonin Relic-Warder with Goblin Bombardment on the battlefield = kill all opponents

Fiend Hunter + Sun Titan with Goblin Bombardment on the battlefield = kill all opponents

Karmic Guide + Reveillark with Goblin Bombardment on the battlefield = kill all opponents

Karmic Guide + Reveillark along with Gonti, Lord of Luxury + sac outlet = exile each opponent's libraries (if Phyrexian Altar is the sac outlet then you can cast every spell exiled with Gonti, Lord of Luxury).

There are other combos and combo set-ups involving Reveillark, Sun Titan and Karmic Guide that are possible - I just listed the most popular and easiest to assemble.

                             GAME PLAN

The plan with this deck is to win via one of the several infinite combos. To accomplish this with minimal disruption from your opponents a stax/mana-denial package is included to facilitate the overall goal of the deck.

Unless your opening hand has a quick route to a combo kill, it is best to establish stax and/or mana-denial. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Thorn of Amethyst and Sphere of Resistance are great at slowing down non-creature spell-driven decks.

The best weapon at hindering or even outright shutting other decks down is mana-denial. Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon are excellent at hindering multi-color decks with greedy mana bases. These two cards are the reason the mana base in this deck is assembled as such (lots of basic plains and swamps). It is almost always correct to fetch basic lands with all of perhaps your first fetch of the game as that should grab a red source to ensure you can cast these spells (along with Alesha herself). After Blood Moon or its Magus are down, of course your fetches no longer work and are from thence mountains - this is what makes the Signets and other color producing mana rocks so valuable in this deck.

After you have Alesha out and a creature she can recur, Contamination is far and away the best weapon at severely hindering or even completely halting your opponents (that is unless you are so unfortunate to be playing against a mono-black deck). Call the Bloodline is excellent with Contamination online, as it can produce tokens to be sacrificed - as well as being a valuable discard outlet for Alesha, or great when you have a creature like Void Winnower or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in hand along with Reanimate, Animate Dead or Karmic Guide.
