Strategy
Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate is a resilient value engine that rewards aggressive play. Every time she attacks, she grows a +1/+1 counter, and her raid trigger lets you reanimate creatures from your graveyard each turn—as long as you've dealt combat damage. The core gameplan is to attack relentlessly, grow Alesha's power, and use that growing number to recur bigger creatures from the yard with each combat phase. This creates a self-perpetuating loop where your graveyard becomes a second hand.
You'll want to fill your deck with efficient creatures that are good on entry (ETB effects, sacrifice outlets, or evasion) and don't mind being reanimated. The deck leans on Aristocrats and sacrifice synergies: creatures that benefit from dying or entering the battlefield multiple times. Cards like Viscera Seer, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Plaguecrafter Pledgling turn your recursion into incremental value—drawing cards, draining opponents, or removing blockers. Since Alesha only needs power equal to the creature's mana value (not higher), you'll consistently reanimate mid-sized threats.
Win conditions are flexible: either chip away with commander damage while growing Alesha's board presence, assemble a sacrifice combo with your reanimated creatures, or simply overwhelm with an army that keeps refilling from the graveyard. The deck is proactive but forgiving—even if Alesha dies, your graveyard is still full of threats.
