Hmm how mean are you willing to go? Peacekeeper is very useful in Alesha, as is Master of Cruelties. Other than that it depends entirely on your approach and how competitive you are feeling

"Really liked how it plays, but looking for bigger bangs. Like a 0/0 that alesha can recur that enters 10/10 or something.": I'll toss out some recommendations and give explanations as to why or what they'd contribute:

• Harsh Mentor - he's new, but what's awesome is that his CMC is low, and he triggers constantly. Basically, if the opponent does anything they get Shocked
• Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit - Another weenie who can get out of control very easily.
• Mentor of the Meek - You need draw.
• Cathartic Reunion - More draw.
• Sun Titan - Big, splashy, and he helps weenies.
• Master of Cruelties - An absolute terror, if he gets through then it's basically gg.
• Lightning Greaves - Always good to have when you want to protect some creatures, i.e. Master of Cruelties or Alesha herself.
• Whispersilk Cloak - This is mostly for Master of Cruelties, but sometimes you just need to make sure a creature's damage just goes through.

"(Also clever name suggestion maybe needed...lol)": Well, seeing as your commander is Alesha, you could go with names like...

• Hordes of the Mardu/The Mardu Hordes - generic name...not much inspired, but it's descriptive enough
• Edicts of Ilagra - The warrior code of the mardu warriors. It applies.
• Raider Clansmen of the Mardu - Just throwin that one out there.
• Raiders of the Mardu - Again, tossing that out there. Depending on the timeline you like, Alesha abolished the Mardu, so this could tie into that?

As I come up with more interesting names, i'll just post them here. Hope these suggestions helped! Additionally, i'll leave what EDHREC recommends for your general. It's a great resource to use in case you weren't aware of it. Oh, and here's a +1 for ya.

So I also noticed that you have some slightly silly-ish names for your other decks...nothing as "serious" as i've suggested previously...but maybe "Raiders of the lost Mardu" might work? I love me some Indiana Jones, so eh...might be a fun name. Also, I didn't realize the obvious Synergy between Alesha and Master of Cruelties.

Raiders of the Lost Mardu sounds like an idea, though I'm not exactly searching for artifacts lol. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll watch out for them in trades.

More name ideas...

• Carve "M" For Mardu - I like hithcock's films. Dial M for Murder was awesome.
• Mardunonymous - a made up word...but seems fun. Yes, it's a play off of Anonymous.
• The Barbarians Mardu - your deck name, if it was built by Wes Anderson (director of the royal tenenbaums) .

Throw in Harsh Mentor

Also "Who do that Mardu" :D

Zulaport Cutthroat huts your opponents if creatures die. Recruiter of the Guard can find your dudes. Ashnod's Altar + Karmic Guide + Reveillark you have and infinite sac loop. If you have Blood Artist or the cutthroat you win.

I realize that this deck is something you threw together with cards you had but. You don't want delve if you're playing graveyard reanimation. Murderous Cut can easily be replaced with other kill spells. You're running mardu you have a multitude of kill spells to choose from.

Found a copy of Hero's Downfall among my things to replace Cut for now anyway. Until I can get copies of better things like Path and Swords. Also thought I had a great name idea... Someone else had the idea first though... Still, I like it, it fits.

On another note, still looking for more good discard/sac effects. Played it the other day and it still feels lacking for getting things to the yard other than going all kamakazi... I mean I actually hard cast a ponyback brigade... Not cool.

Buried Alive can toss three creatures into the yard. Look for the 3 combo creatures and win. Unless someone has lots of graveyard hate.....

Need opinions on the inclusion of Hazoret's Monument, and Cathars' Crusade vs Call for Unity. Also considering Dusk / Dawn.

First, I would cut Valor in Akros instead of Call for Unity

Second, if you can find one Purphoros, God of the Forge is nice free damage + mana sink

Third, why are you using Pilgrim's Eye and not good ol' Solemn Simulacrum ? Don't have one ?

Fourth, No Panharmonicon ?!?

If you want more idea go see my own Alesha list: Alesha aggro/attrition

Fetches like Entomb and Buried Alive can work wonders with your commander and be done near instantly with her ability. Illusionist's Bracers would also do you well to double that trigger. Consider focusing on your commanders abilities instead of trying to make a deck themed to something not as relevant to her playstyle.

TearsInRain23 Thanks for the suggestions, I will add these to the acquire list. I especially like the Bracers, ups the aggro meter a bit. Are you talking about my idea for a Zombie Sub theme? I was just looking for something to tie into the deck the could work without her... she dies alot for obvious reasons.

Yes that was what I meant. Zombies are best when the whole deck is meant for them. My suggestion? Take everything Alesha does into account and focus on it exclusively. She is aggressive, run aggressive creatures/ enchantments/ artifacts (Whispersilk Cloak, Fervor, Gratuitous Violence, Urabrask the Hidden). She recurs things, run recursion enchantments/ spells (Debtors' Knell, Reanimate, Marshal's Anthem, Return to the Ranks, Ravos, Soultender). She does a lot, so run protection enchantments/ artifacts/ spells. (Any of the Swords, Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact, Archangel Avacyn  ^Flip)

All of this and the usual draw and mana ramp goodies. Mentor of the Meek, Phyrexian Arena, Sword of the Animist, Land Tax, Expedition Map, Sol Ring, Chromatic Lantern, Mana Flare.

TearsInRain23 Alesha reanimate ability is a trigger not an activated ability so Illusionist's Bracers does not interact with it.

@soul22: Ah, correct. The card in question is Strionic Resonator that he will need instead, not the equipment.

Maybe Crackling Doom for random dmg and removal?

Bit of a dilemma... I found a few cards in the 25 cent bin that looked like they could be fun, but am having trouble deciding whether they are in fact good enough, as well as what to take out. The cards in question are: Coalition Honor Guard & Stonehorn Dignitary. I also had Lieutenants of the Guard but... idk, lost it's luster I guess.

So, let me know what you think. Good? bad? ugly? lol.

I'd replace Boros Signet with Talisman of Indulgence. You cant pay for the triggered ability with the signet, which can put you in awkward spots, and the 1 damage from the talisman is pretty negligible.

I've seen this deck play before and it was True Conviction and Strionic Resonator that put the nail in the coffin. He would pull out two 2/2 creatures gain ten life even though one would die. But this kept adding up after three turns. Winning combination right there.

I think you could use Nightscape Familiar and Thunderscape Familiar because they are ramp early game and they are blockers late game.

got my hands on a copy of Dictate of Erebos... no clue what to switch. Any suggestions from the hive mind? Also... Opinions on adding an Arcane Lighthouse... think it's necessary?

If you're looking for some high impact creatures for alesha to bring back Ignition Team Ebonblade Reaper and Raving Dead are things that usually need to be blocked. Wall of Blood Spike Cannibal Thief of Blood can be really dangerous depending on the meta
