Alesha, Who Smiles at Death
Oracle Text
First strike
Whenever Alesha attacks, you may pay {W/B}{W/B}. If you do, return target creature card with power 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is a classic value engine for aggressive Mardu decks, turning every attack step into a recursive threat. In practice, she rewards tempo and midrange strategies that want to pressure life totals while reusing efficient utility creatures, especially those with power 2 or less. First strike makes her a credible combatant on her own, and the attack trigger effectively converts dead creatures into immediate board presence, which is excellent after sweepers or trades. Deckbuilding should lean into creatures with powerful enters-the-battlefield effects, sacrifice synergies, or death triggers—think pieces that are happy to come back tapped and attacking, such as removal creatures, token makers, or hand disruption on a body. Because the reanimation cost uses {W/B}{W/B}, prioritize mana fixing and a stable splash into white and black. The lore feel is equally sharp: Alesha reads like a fearless raider who refuses to let fallen allies stay down, and that resilience is exactly how she plays.
