I've been making a deck with her With recurring nightmare and creatures that have synergy with her.
Karmic Guide, Kaalia of the Vast, Aegis of the Gods, Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker,Master of Crulties, Gwafa Hazid Profiteer, Feldon of the third path.
I really like Legendary creatures and its an excuse to use them for some have really amazing abilities and time of need is a tutor for whatever I need. Fauna shaman is a good way to discard and tutor, and ravens crime can be retraced.
The idea is value and with a backup plan for combo. Master for combo with Kalia, or Alesha; a toolbox of creatures with an advantage from their abilities or enter the battlefield triggers.
Funny, I feel the same way about Living Lore, especially with all the big, playable spells running around. Free Dig Through Time or Treasure Cruise turn after turn, attached to an 8/8 body?
Possibly less exciting in Modern, where it only gets a 7/7 (from Cruel Ultimatum), but even that matches up with a 'Goyf pretty well on Turn 4. Plus the whole Ultimatum every turn thing, I guess. Or if you just want to go big, Enter the Infinite.
In Modern, Time Stretch 'goes infinite' with the two, assuming Alesha survives combat; if not you've got two turns to get her back or find a new one. Doesn't work in Standard simply because our only extra turn spell exiles itself. Bummer.

Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
Kytheon, Hero of Akros
Liliana, Heretical Healer
Nissa, Vastwood Seer
Pia and Kiran Nalaar is also really good since you get a 2/2 and two 1/1 fliers.
Throw in Kytheon, Hero of Akros, Knight of the White Orchid and Evangel of Heliod for extra fun times
Might be a good value lately for her in standard.
