This is a deck that's still in prototype stage. I need to do some work on it, but that will come in time. I'm looking for feedback to help out with that.
I really wanted to make a more traditional Mardu deck. As much as I like the Stax version of Zurgo I currently have built, I very much like a deck that attacks with a ton of creatures and does a ton of damage without actually having to deal a ton of damage in combat. That's really it. Alesha just had a cutesy "build around me" vibe I liked.

This is a pretty idiot-proof deck, as far as mine tend to go, anyway. You basically cast spells that do stuff, swing with dudes that do things, and make life totals 0. You also pray an Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite never hits the table.
