This is my second Alesha build, she's so fun I just have to keep tinkering around with her Grin

The core idea is to abuse her ability to keep recurring small token generators like Siege-Gang Commander and Evangel of Heliod to get massive value out of them, then abuse the tokens to our heart's content. Skullclamp them, feed them to Ashnod's Altar or Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter, all the while getting more profit due to Grave Pact and Black Market and bleeding the enemy with Blood Artist. Alternatively, once the token swarm gets big enough we can swing for massive damage thanks to a few boost cards like Cathars' Crusade and Eldrazi Monument. For added fun, I've also thrown in a pinch of general Alesha synergy, mainly Master of Cruelties and Mindclaw Shaman. I'll cut those if they turn out to dilute the strategy, though.

The deck can create some very powerful synergies and build up an impressive and resilient board state, but it also has many moving pieces and occasionally they don't click together all too perfectly yet. A couple of tutors probably wouldn't go amiss - I really wish Sidisi, Undead Vizier had two power...

I'd also like to thank to everyone who suggested cards for a sac deck when I asked in the forum, your ideas were a great help Smile
