So looking at the new rare archbound and reading the flavor text it sounds very mardu-ish
someone posted before(I believe talking about tasigur) that they thought that the genders of the Khan would be reversed and up to this point has been correct
so if this "Alesha" is female she could be khan as zurgo was male
And we know that the mardu-ish don't fear death so the name corresponds to that (who smiles at death) and most if not all of the other khans have also been quoted on cards at this point
So i believe alesha is the mardu Khan
Yes it would seem that Alesha is the female Khan for the Mardu clan.
What we do know is she will be R in color. Have a triggered or activated ability with or 1 . She could cost anywhere between R and 4R. She might have a power of 3 or 4. Her toughness may well be 2 or 3. She might have haste, raid, first strike, or dash.
We can be fairly certain she be a Orc Warrior or Human Warrior. Judging by how Mardu seem to be when it comes to those they have enlisted in their horde.

Not sure she would have dash or raid (absent from the set), apparently, the idea is more:
-new mechanic: the dragon of the clan gets it. -old mechanic: the khan of the clan gets it.
She 'smiles at death', so the (W/B) ability should be some sort of reanimation I guess.
This is valid for Shu Yun and Tasigur, but Yasova does not have ferocious.

I'm guessing she won't have raid, as the name "Smiles at Death" implies to me that she wants to be in the action and the combat.
Since she is a Khan who I am guessing fights on the frontlines from her name, I am going to guess she has Haste and "Creatures you control must attack each combat if able."
The ability will undoubtedly have to do with attacking creatures, or possibly just creatures in general. I'm not sure if she will reanimate because I think the "Smiles at Death" will refer to her courage/recklessness, since that seems to be more of Mardu's thing.
My guess on the ability is sacrifice a creature, but with an upside effect for attacking creatures.
The Mardu Khan will not have the dash ability since the Khans fight the Dragons. The Dragons are meant to have the new mechanics and the Khan will not. So far it proves to be right, the Abzan dragon has Bolster and the Mardu dragon has dash. So the Mardu Khan will not have dash as an ability.
The old and the new Khan leaders all have some sort of synergy with each other. That made me think that the Mardu Khan might be giving a buff to all attacking creatures, since Zurgo Helmsmasher attacks each turn.
She will also be a Human since all the other Khan leaders are human and I think she might be another warrior. I also think that her power and toughness will not differ much from Zurgo, because all the other Khan leaders don't.

For you to link a thread. Just copy the ^ http string.

Nobody could predict how epic that flavor text was gonna be though!
