My competitive Alesha reanimator/combo/Stax/aggro deck :)

Current combos:

1. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Felidar Guardian/Restoration Angel/Zealous Conscripts

2. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Fiend Hunter + Goblin Bombardment/Altar of Dementia/...

3. Reveillark + Karmic Guide + Goblin Bombardment/Altar of Dementia/...

4.Reveillark + Karmic Guide + Viscera Seer + Murderous Redcap/Avalanche Riders/...

1. Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter + Sac Outlet

2. Karmic Guide + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Sac outlet

3. Sun Titan + Karmic Guide + Animate Dead + Sac outlet

As you can see the combo's are a plenty, but they're not all too dependant on 1 card, which makes this deck extremely versitale. I play alot of tutors to find the missing piece of combo XYZ, whichever seems more convenient at that time. The fact that the deck is also very graveyard synergistic makes it even more unpredictable, since you can never be sure when a certain combo might arise.

Other combo decks have the problem that they have to play sub-optimal cards to make the deck work, in this deck that is not the case, every card in the deck can be good on it's own, which makes it very resilient. All the while slowing the opponents gameplan down while still develloping your own (Liliana of the Veil eg.)

In most games Alesha, Who Smiles at Death never gets played, but the threat of ending the game is always there. I rarely play here without giving her haste with either Lightning Greaves or Anger making her a sort of a Karmic Guide and possibly bringing back a game-winning combo piece.

I'll be working on a structured primer in the not too distant future (I hope)
