Use Alesha's ability to reanimate a Hornet Queen or a Ponyback Brigade to get value with their enter the battle field effects making lots of tokens. The deck's contents are divided into four categories.

  1. Re-animators: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Whip of Erebos

  2. Discard Spells: Tormenting Voice and Dark Deal

  3. Reanimate Fodder: Hornet Queen and Ponyback Brigade

  4. Support Cards: Purphoros, God of the Forge, Mardu Ascendancy and pretty much anything that is not mentioned previously.

Of the four components the first three will be referred to as being the "Essential Components"

The game plan goes like this:

  1. Make sure you have at least two of the three essential components hand (Reanimator - Discard - Reanimate Fodder. Otherwise you are going to have a bad time in your game. I run quite a few scry lands so that you can find your third piece efficiently.

  2. Get a Reanimate Fodder into your graveyard. Ideally this is done with Tormenting Voice on turn two so you can get an Alesha, Who Smiles at Death on turn three and attack on turn four.

Other notes:

Also if Purphoros, God of the Forge is out you do a ton of damage to their face. I use the Mardu Ascendancy as another way to capitalize on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death's trigger, plus it acts as protection from Anger of the Gods which really hurts this deck.

Whip of Erebos is another way to reanimate your fodder.

Updates Add

Shathief make some recommendation to make this deck function more consistent which included taking out some Dark Deal because it was terrible late game and the addition of Vaultbreaker and Seraph of the Masses.

Vaultbreaker is an amazing looting cards and Seraph of the Masses can be a very large reanimate target when I have tokens out from my other reanimate targets.

I also added Raise the Alarm to get some board presence earlier.
