Olivia, Mobilized for War grants haste, +1/+1, and puts something in your gyCall the Bloodline puts in work in that deck, and lets you discardShimian Specter gets a card out of an opponent's hand every time it gets throughThose are some that come to mind that put work in in my deck.

I just realized Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant isn't in here.
Seems really good to help keep your creatures, plus you can recur it with Alesha if needs be. :)

I am not sure about Olivia, Mobilized for War because it is not returnable with Alesha.

Call the Bloodline added to maybeboard.

Shimian Specter I am iffy about.

It's true that you can't return Olivia, Mobilized for War with Alesha, but everything else about her seems fantastic in this deck. As pointed out before, she enables Alesha really well by buffing her power, hasting her up and providing her with fodder, without requiring any extra mana. That seems like a great deal to me. She is also a legendary creature, which makes her able to pick up Hero's Blade and attack in the air.

Well I didnt even think about her with Alesha. So thanks for pointing that out for me.

So Olivia, Mobilized for War addedto maybeboard.

Ok so I'm thinking 41 lands is a bit too much . Should I cut some and which ones?

August 23, 2016 11:03 p.m.

Emzed says... #10

You should go down to 37-38 lands i think, and cut some of the enters-tapped-lands, since having multiples of them doesn't work well with your low curve. Rupture Spire and Transguild Promenade i really dislike, so i would start by removing these.

Looks like a fun deck. I've been thinking about turning my Alesha Tiny Leaders (we never play that format anymore and I LOVE her) into an EDH deck and you've inspired me.

1 Anathemancer in an Alesha deck is really good. 2 of them is TOO good I think. ;)

How about Hanweir Garrison or Goblin Rabblemaster?

Purphoros, God of the Forge just for the critter ETB effect?

paloflimdul

That's what this one was originally.

Thank you for that. I didn't even notice.

Hanweir Garrison added to the deck. Now I just got to buy one.

Purphoros, God of the Forge added to maybeboard for now.

Thank you for your sugestions and keen eye.

Just remembered a great card now that we're transitioning to EDH from Tiny: Behind the Scenes

August 31, 2016 1:37 a.m.

riley1001000 says... #14

Now thats a cool card. So it's added to maybeboard for now.

August 31, 2016 8:42 a.m.

So I've been also looking into an Alesha deck and found a new toy in Grenzo, Havoc Raiser. The ability to cast isn't the strong point (IMO)but being able to permanently exile the opposition's top deck or being able to direct attacks around yourself

August 31, 2016 9:25 p.m.

Oh! I know its pricy but Sneak Attack is gold in ANY Red reanimate deck.

August 31, 2016 9:26 p.m.

paloflimdul says... #17

I like both those cards Omegaman. Sneak Attack definitely pricy but for good reason, eh?

September 1, 2016 6:02 p.m.

paloflimdul says... #18

Resolute Blademaster seems like a first round draft choice for Alesha's choices from the graveyard...

September 1, 2016 6:09 p.m.

riley1001000 says... #19

Omegaman

Yeah I saw the new grenzo and was going to add it to maybe for now but forgot.Sneak attack is a little bit out of my price range for now.

paloflimdul

That will be added to maybe.

Check out my Alesha deck for some cool ideas, it’s only expensive for the mana base and tutor package. I’ve dialed it in where I like it and hopefully it will help others. Mirror Entity is a must have for a swarm strategy. Best lord ever! You need the two new talismans Talisman of Hierarchy and Talisman of Dominance you also need the Arcane Signet that came out. Really helps and is better than the Mardu banner. I always loved discarding my hand to Thought Gorger then reanimating Disciple of Bolas to draw a ton of cards. Key to the City is a perfect fit for Alesha. Cathartic Reunion , Tormenting Voice, and Thrill of Possibility are excellent filtering while hopefully putting cool stuff in the graveyard.

Fiend Hunter , Duplicant , Duergar Hedge-Mage, and Necrotic Sliver are excellent removal for Alesha, as well as Nekrataal and Ravenous Chupacabra

Goldnight Commander is a powerhouse when you reanimate a token maker guy.

I’ve tried to keep these suggestions budget friendly, hopefull they help you enjoy your Alesha deck. I love mine!

Talisman of Conviction not dominance..my bad
