When the "Time Spiral Remastered" set came out in 2020, I pulled an old-frame copy of Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Because Alesha is remarkably good with several old creatures that normally don't see play in EDH, I came up with the idea of building an Alesha deck consisting exclusively of cards printed using the old card frame. I procrastinated, and this project sat on a table, buried under empty deck boxes, for a few years. Well, I'm finally making the dream become reality.

Ordinarily, I build a spooky Halloween deck every year. The theme has been different every time, and the only real rules for this conceit of mine are that the deck should prioritize style at the expense of some function and that it must use the card All Hallow's Eve. I had a rough idea of building a deck helmed by Skeleton Ship this year, but I decided that I really, really wanted to finally finish this Alesha deck. No problem: I'll just combine the two projects.

This is a spooktacular theme deck. It's also an all-old-frames deck. Clever? Not really. Ill-advised? Most certainly.
