Alesha is one of my favorite cards, period. Her backstory really speaks to me. Her ability is fun and unique. I've been playing her in Commander, Duel Commander and Tiny Leaders in varying builds. Some "Tiny Kaalia" lists, some where she is utility for a Mardu Midrange deck, and some where I try to pump her up early using creatures.
This is my current incarnation of Alesha for Tiny Leaders. The deck aims to drop artifacts to use as mana Mox Diamond, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet, Boros Signet and then Winter Orb to lock a player down. From there, Trinisphere makes everything cost more, which puts a strain on their mana base. Finally tokens and Tangle Wire keep them further oppressed.
As this is going on, I can be beating down with tokens from Bitteblossom, Goblin Assault and the like, recurring my creatures for 2 mana and generally applying pressure. The creatures are value and either help deny them resources by attacking the hand, the land or life while giving me more fodder for my Tangle Wire shenanigans.
I'm open to suggestions and help. Right now, I'm considering more cards like Smallpox and Sinkhole along with Chrome Mox to apply that early tempo.
