Yeah, Angel I'd like to try because of all of that.
And saccing her a few times and getting her back and than smacking with a lot of dudes.

njce I'm trying her out too. Might I suggest eerie interlude. It's works well there are exile board wipes and you get all the ETB triggers too. Kolaghans command is a bit pricey but also good. Being able to save a creature from the graveyard if it getting exile and you get mana dork or artifact removal too.

Dunno man, I'm kinda in the unkknown with the Eerie Interlude. It seems good, but I see myself always drawing it too little too late

Ah seems fair enough it can be very situational. What are thoughts on austere command and enlightened tutor for this deck?

Austere Command - KILL'EM ALL IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR
What would be your top Tutor targets? I must say, having Possibility Storm in hand, and tutor in hand for Rule of Law/Eidolon of Rhetoric seems like a baller place to be

HELL YES!
I mostly go for grieves or aura of silence. I'm thinking of playing rule of law with aura of silence as my hate enchantments. I wanted to ask when you play possibility storm with rule of law does it ever back fire when someons plays let's say a creature and the possibility storm into something like a vorniclex or an ulamog

If rule of law and Storm are out, they ain't casting zilch!
Also, if they get a huge dude... Well, most of our instants are kill spells, aren't they?

Very true! I might try that out! See ignore it can slow down people too. I noticed you didn't have sword of animist in the deck anymore. You don't run into being mana screwed?
February 26, 2017 5:25 p.m.
Mishraharad says... #10
I haven't been mana screwed in a long while.
It might be my luck and/or mulligan decisions, I guess.

grayson290 says... #11
Oh for sure I've been pretty mana screwed at times. My friend popped 3 of my four lands with terastadon and my other friend Jin-gytaxia a turn after so I wasn't doing anything for the whole game :/
What your opinion on zombie infestation as a discard outlet?

Mishraharad says... #12
I don't mind getting the zombos, but I'd use it more if I were a more token oriented build

grayson290 says... #13
Oh alright then I noticed you said you wouldn't mind having a phyrexian altar what would you taken out for that. I'm currently running phyrexian and ashnods altar and I dropped altar of dementia just because it wasn't a complete win con if someone had an eldrazi.
February 27, 2017 10:28 p.m.
Mishraharad says... #14
I wouldn't mind having the Altar at all, it would make mana even easier

I'd say add an Anarchist to the deck. It recurs your sorceries which is pretty darn good. Also I'm not sure if I say it but mindclaw shaman is bonkers in my Alesha list
March 26, 2017 10:41 a.m.
Mishraharad says... #16
I only do have 6 sorceries to get back though. And Mindclaw Shaman was in the deck, sadly my meta isn't that spell heavy, so mostly what I'd get would be a kill spell at an awkward time
March 27, 2017 1:31 a.m.
LordCaptain says... #17
I get that six sorcery thing. But with a single buried alive it enables your entire deck. With a victimize it creates recursion loop. Even with things like cathartic reunion it's repeatable deck filtering.I think it's almost just too valuable not to include.
I get the mindclaw shaman thing though. That's a pretty meta dependent card. However, because of this I'm assuming your meta is more creature heavy. So wouldn't false prophet just be an auto-include?
Thanks for the quick response!
March 27, 2017 10:04 p.m.
Mishraharad says... #18
Hm, False Prophet might be alright... If suitable sac outlets are there.
March 28, 2017 1:34 a.m.
Mishraharad says... #19
Honestly, public seems to be hating them, so they will most likely come in cheap ... So, gogo shiny new Wrath of God?

For what reasons did you decide not to include [Ankle Shanker] and ? (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=386477)? I would have thought they'd be staples in an Alesha deck.

Mishraharad says... #21
Yo comptonl !
Ankle Shanker used to be in the list, however I found him to be clunky, since the ability doesn't trigger when getting Alesha'd, and it doesn't slow our enemies down.
Part of me still kinda wants to jam it in, since I freaking love Ankle Shanker
April 26, 2017 12:36 a.m.
What would you take out for ankel shanker? What are your thoughts on including mentor of the meek in this deck?
April 26, 2017 12:34 p.m.
Mishraharad says... #23
Mentor of the Meek was in, but honestly Phyrexian Arena does it way better, and let's us save up mana for kill spells.
For Shanker... Hm, I guess depends on your meta
April 26, 2017 1:13 p.m.
While you unfortunately can't recur it, would Spirit of the Labyrinth be a strong enough inclusion? It doesn't seem to effect much at all, but it can seriously slow down control and other unfair decks.
May 15, 2017 12:13 p.m.
Mishraharad says... #25
Spirit of the Labyrinth is a card I'm seriously pondering about.
Screw Shamanic Revelation .

I actually have ravos and drana in my build too. I haven't had a chance to use ravos that much. Drana is cool it just get awkward when master of cruelties is out and behind the scenes. I feel like angel would be cool since you can get a 4/3 flying vigilance lifelinker with an anthem when you bring it back.
