Well, if you have a lot of burn, Magebane makes helluva lot of sense, you might as well keep it.

Also, Utter End is cheap as hell!

Mishraharad Do you think you could tell me where you found that sweet art for Alesha and if its possible to order it.

Comred It's one of the alters you can find here on tappedout, it's done by Proxy Guy , he's not selling cards though, contact him and see what, if anything can be arranged.

I love the deck! I've been working on Alesha Death and Taxes myself. What do you find to be a more useful combat trump card - Brutal Hordechief or Iroas?

Depending - got more dudes? Chief.

Got better quality of dudes? Iroas.

Best times are when you've got both out though!

Has Always Watching been looked at and pondered over yet?

Zmb13 - Huh, I've kinda forgotten that was a thing. I wanted it when it was high in Standard, but it was also up in price.

That actually could work really well, especially combined with Iroas and the gang!

Glad I could be of help! I really love this deck. I've been thinking about getting into commander and after looking at this, Alesha may be the place for me to start. If i could upvote twice i certainly would :)

Zmb13 This ain't a bad build to start with, since its less than 200$ (if you reduce the price of foils and promos)

And glad you enjoy making people miserable :P

(Protip - replace some creature with Braids, Cabal Minion in French Commander to make people cry)

Hey this is an awesome list and I've been looking into building this with my own tweeks on it. I see that you have Hokori. When do you think would be a good time to put him on the field so it wont screw you over?

Hokori is a difficult one, and I've only just recently added it, so I'm not 100% sure on what the correct answer is.

But on what I've seen in testing, you want to hit the moment that your opponents tappout for some huge spell and you get your Hokori from your GY.

However, sometimes you just gotta play Hokori on T4 and grind the game out, since we are the deck that works well under small amounts of mana, unlike most of the decks in the format. There have been games where I've just jammed T4 Hokori, and that enabled me to win against green based decks, on the sheer value of them just not getting their ramp and threats out, and even when they do get it out, we can just kill'em one by one.

Nice! thanks for the response and the advice. A lot of people in my play group run green decks so hokori would be an awesome fit.

have you ever tried putting hokori then sacrificing him at someones endstep before your turn comes so you can untap all your lands at your upkeep then bringing him back with Alesha so every one elses lands stay untaped? That's something I was pondering over when I saw your decklist.

grayson290

Yuuup, done it couple of times. That's why Viscera Seer/Altar of Dementia/any other sac outlet rule with good ol' Dust breath.

It pulls you so far ahead that it sometimes ain't even funny (okay I lie, it's always funny. Puny green mages and their "ramp" and "big dudes"!)

Foe extra effect, combine Reconnaissance and Hokori with Aleshas reanimate, and sac it later.

Rinse and repeat.

I bet you make a lot of people mad with that one. lolnice thanks for the tip! I don't know but when you're building a deck like this do you ever think to yourself "man how much of a dick do I want to be?" I find myself thinking that often when I figuring out what to put in it haha. I wanted to ask any reason why you're not running the Revaillark/ karmic guide combo?

grayson290

Ya mean Rev/Guide/Sac Outlet/Blood Artist or? Since that one is there!

I mean, since I've recently moved to a new town with a new, much more competitive meta, I'm kinda encouraged to be a huge dick, since we have people playing Krenko, Karador, Prossh and their like. So my Alesha is kinda of a small fish in a big bowl, killing stuff.

Sometimes I do hold back, against less competitive decks, and go for more battlecruising, just to keep game going, and not kill everything and everyone.

oh damn i totally missed that my bad!

oh alright then for sure. Same with with my LGS it's pretty cutthroat so I have to keep up with them. any reason why you're not running sol ring in the deck?

grayson290

Only reason is that i+I find Sol Ring boring, and everybody runs it.

If you want it, feel free to run it man!

Oh alright then! Do you ever get mana color screwed since you're not running chromatic lantern?

grayson290

Oh that happens once in a while, and boy does it suck.

That's why I plan to upgrade my mana base and get a lantern ASAP

For sure!well thanks for all the help. here's my deck if you want to take a look at it Alesha DT I'm going to change the land base for sure. Any suggestions are welcomed also. Thanks again!

what do you think about Yahenni, Undying Partisan? i instantly fell in love with this guy :D

zakky234 Sac outlet and makes our kill spells better. What' there not to like?

grayson290 Imma gonna check the deck asap, you feel free to give me some feed back. Also, am totally jelaous on that Badlans, fyi

Yo yahenni is awesome! that was the only card in the spoilers that really caught my attention! Now I gotta figure out who to cut for it..And yeah the scrubland is pretty cool. One of my prized possessions hah

grayson290 Heart of Ghirapur. Control element of it is sooo high.

"Mr. Combo Player, ya wanted to do something next turn?"

That's also true it can stop someone from going off next turn. Lots of potential goodies coming out next set!
