"how many creatures have you sacced in your life?" cries the timmy player. "How many breads have you eaten in your life?" responds Alesha.

Very low to the ground and aggressive deck, can be very oppressive so play with caution. The goal of the deck is simple: play good value creatures with low power, sac em for more value, and then reanimate them to loop that value train. Notable cards are Fiend Hunter, Leonin Relic-Warder, Reconnaissance, and Master of Cruelties. The first two can be looped in a mini combo which I will explain later, but Recon is extremely good at letting alesha swing for a reanimation trigger, yet survive the combat turn. Master is just hilarious: since he has first strike, if hes not blocked, he will hit the opponent first, allowing his trigger to resolve first before alesha deals damage. Paired with cards like Access Tunnel and Shizo, Death's Storehouse, you might just 1 shot a player out of nowhere.

The etb exploit of Fiend Hunter and Leonin, is pretty straightforward: you play it, the ETB goes on the stack. In response, you sac it to something lik Goblin Bombardment, which triggers its leave the field trigger to activate first. It returns the card exiled, but there isnt one yet. Then the exile trigger happens, and since Fiend Hunter is dead it will never come back. You can loop this as many times as you can reanimate them, and the reason Faceless Butcher and Tidehollow Sculler are not in the deck is I wanted some good cards to swap to remove the infinite combo also in the deck.

The infinite combos are Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Murderous Redcap and Karmic Guide + Reveillark . Both combos require a sac outlet of any kind, the best way to win on the spot is Goblin Bombardment. Otherwise you need some other card like Blood Artist to utilize the infinite death triggers. The frist combo works like this: you sac the Redcap with Anafenza on the field, it comes back with persist, which naturally makes it the smallest creature on the field. Anafenza then puts a +1/+1 counter on him, allowing him to return with persist. The second combo works similarly. Play the Revelark (you have to cast it since Alesha cannot reanimate it), and either reanimate karmic or it needs to be on the field. Then sac both of them, stacking the Revelark to resolve after karmic enters the graveyard. Then reanimate Karmic, which reanimates Revelark, and loop for the win.
