This is a budget build for Alesha. Instead of paying lots of monies for expensive instants/sorceries/enchantments, I found creature carts with ETB triggers that make the most of Alesha's abilities.

The goal is to utilize a couple of mechanics, including the actual order of the stack. If I understand the stack correctly, a card like Fiend Hunter or Faceless Butcher has two distinct triggers; 1) Exile a target when it enters the battlefield, 2) Return the exiled target when they leave. Therefore, if I sac the Fiend Hunter at instant speed, the 2nd trigger would resolve first, therefore banishing the target forever! Muahahahahahaha.

Creatures that act as removal spells (recurring if you can continue to recall them from the graveyard): Agent of Erebos, Avalanche Riders, Duergar Hedge-Mage, False Prophet, Fiend Hunter, Manic Vandal, Sin Collector, Soltari Visionary, and War Priest of Thune.

Token Generators (on ETB):
Beetleback Chief, Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder, Knight-Captain of Eos, Pawn of Ulamog, Ponyback Brigade, and Siege-Gang Commander.

Sacrifice Outlets:
Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Sadistic Hypnotist, Spawning Pit, Vampiric Rites, and Viscera Seer.

Card Draw and Tutors:
Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Diabolic Tutor, Disciple of Bolas, Entomb, Faithless Looting, Mentor of the Meek, Prophetic Flamespeaker, Relic Seeker, and Vulturous Aven.

Utility:
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, Anger, Cathars' Crusade, Skullclamp, and Sneak Attack.

Life Gain/Loss Taxes:
Blood Artist, Falkenrath Noble, Goblin Bombardment, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and Zulaport Cutthroat.

Additional Recursion:
Karmic Guide, Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, and Sun Titan.

Win-Cons:
- Master of Cruelties, because Alesha cheats him out already attacking, thus getting around his whole "attacks alone" deal.
- Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Murderous Redcap +/- Sac outlet
- Fiend Hunter/Faceless Butcher + Sun Titan / Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Sac outlet
- Animate Dead + Karmic Guide + Sun Titan + Sac outlet
- Reveillark + Felidar Guardian + Sac outlet
