The tiny warriors of Tarkir are united under Alesha's command!
This is my first Tiny Leaders deck. I chose Alesha as commander because she gives access to the three colors which are in my opinion best suited for an aggressive deck with cheap creatures. Since I decided also to go for the warrior theme of the Tarkir block, the deck compilation was almost a no-brainer.

Concealed Courtyard and Inspiring Vantage are perfect for the Tiny Leaders format, where the first three land drops are the most important.

Dreadhorde Butcher is great in combination with equipment.

Discovered two interesting warriors in older sets:
Countryside Crusher (Who needs more than three lands?) and Ash Zealot (sideboard card against Zombies).
2020-09 - Zendikar Rising:
Kargan Warleader is a lord which a cannot ignore and Shatterskull Charger packs a punch.
I would also like to try out Akiri, Fearless Voyager and add Maul of the Skyclaves as equipment, but I still have to decide what to move out.
2021-07 - Strixhaven Commander:
Laelia, the Blade Reforged could be a great topdeck in the late game.
