When I found out that Alesha was a transgender character in Magic, I got really exited for the representation and I wanted to make an EDH deck for her, despite red being one of my least favorite colors.

I want a reanimator effect, but I also don't want to rely on getting my commander out and attacking with her for the deck to work, but of course the first draft is going to focus on that.

I'm still playing around with what I want to include, but pretty much anything that'll destroy or disrupt upon entering the battlefield will do.

Suggestions welcome! Looking for interesting ways to discard cards with positie effects, looking for a nice way too draw cards reliably, looking for nice ETB effects, anything that you thinks works amazingly with Alesha.

So far what I have to put my good things in my graveyard: Curse of Chaos , Deal Broker, Tormenting Voice, Skirk Ridge Exhumer , and Buried Alive.

Then I want to abuse anything ETB triggers, not just the ones on the cards that I'm recurring: Purphoros, God of the Forge, Cathars' Crusade, Etc.

Also I'm boosting the puny 2 or less power creatures coming in to attack: Spear of Heliod, Dictate of Heliod , Cathars' Crusade, Iroas, God of Victory, and Maw of the Obzedat.

And in case you just wanted the creature on the field, Reconnaisance can save you're attacking creature.Also there are useful sac outlets for various utilities, and to reuse certain ETB effects.
