Hello folks,

Firstly, thank you for being watching/analyzing this list!

The deck's idea is to be a kind of Control Deck, similar to Death and Taxes, but using LD effects to undermine the opponent's resources, tax permanents and with ETB/LTB value falling under Alesha's threshold.

The foremost interactions are:

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death + Avalanche Riders or Fulminator Mage or yet Ravenous Baboons like main source of recurring LD, affecting the opponent's manabase.

The other face of deck are the Tax permanents, with highlight on Price of Glory, War's Toll and Grand Abolisher.

Beyond Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, we have another ways to extract value from our graveyard with things like Karmic Guide, Sun Titan, Reveillark, Feldon of the Third Path and Whip of Erebos.

To make our work a lot more easier, the list uses enablers like Liliana of the Veil, Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, Mad Prophet , Mindless Automaton , Buried Alive, Faithless Looting, Necromancer's Stockpile and Tortured Existence .

Other pieces of the deck spin around this main strategy and Card Advantage (Dark Confidant says hello).

The main plot is: gain small advantages as you lock your opponent game, with spot removals (foremost which ones that focuses on their lands), and turn by turn gain lifepoint advantage.

Liked the idea? Do you think something's missing? Hated everything? I really wanna see your comments.

If you've liked, don't forget to upvote to helpme to reach more people!

Thanks folks, cya!
