Spike Cannibal
Creature — Spike
Spike Cannibal enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
When Spike Cannibal enters the battlefield, move all +1/+1 counters from all creatures onto it.

If your meta plays a lot of +1/+1 counters, Spike Cannibal has entered the chat.

Some suggestions might be
Spike Cannibal to consolidate all the +1/+1 counters.
Last-Ditch Effort with a bunch of small critters can easily be a huge direct damage
Phyrexian Altar sac to get specific Mana instead of colorless

This looks like an interesting shell, however it could probably be made more efficient. As an example, why play a 5 mana artifact Cauldron of Souls when a 2 mana instant can perform the same trick Cauldron Haze. Another suggestion I have is Trinket Mage, which can fetch Walking Ballista, essentially giving you another way to pull out one of your win-cons. If you use the Mage then Sigil of Distinction also becomes a useful alt-win-con.
You also seem to be missing two obvious artifacts in the form of Coretapper and Energy Chamber, with perhaps a 3rd for card draw in Culling Dais. There is also the land Llanowar Reborn, which I think would be a better fit in your deck than Burst of Strength, the graft mechanic itself might be a good fit in general. Other cards to consider include Zameck Guildmage, Fate Transfer and Bioshift.
I played during tempest, where the spikes were first introduced and while they are cool, they were never inherently powerful, bar the surprise Spike Cannibal, which isn't modern legal. I realise I've thrown up a lot of cards and I wouldn't expect you to try and include them all, but hopefully this helps you improve your brew.

Here are some targets I like to get with Alesha:
Beast of Burden
Pack Rat
Malignus
Ignition Team
Drakestown Forgotten
Spike Cannibal (this one kind of depends on your meta, but it can wreck an Atraxa or Ramos deck).

-Ugh. Selfless Spirit. Commence nightmares.
-Altar of Dementia and Millstone are interesting choices. You can target yourself to load up your graveyard.
-Some creature ideas. I'm pretty sure these work, since their base power is 0, and they don't get the counters until they enter the battlefield:
Cryptborn Horror. You'll have to get some good noncombat damage done first to play it with Alesha, but it can be a bomb.
Custodi Soulbinders. That can get big and scary. Same with Drakestown Forgotten, depending how the game goes.
Magmasaur. Repeatable board wipe?
Phantom Flock. Very good attacker/blocker?
Savage Firecat. Boom, baby. Or better yet, Spike Cannibal. Or even better, Thief of Blood.

Sweet deck! It's a great start to a great partner deck. If I were you, I'd focus on swinging lethal with Ishai primary and Alpha Strike Secondary. Instead of Abzan Battle Priest, perhaps Winding Constrictor for more counters for your buck. Trample is good, too: Bramblewood Paragon is my Favorite and it gets you an extra counter on Reyhan as he comes in, too. Warden of the First Tree can be a good place to sink extra mana on weak turns and it can do some crazy damage late game if you've got the time to grow it. Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is a good addition if you start having more B/W/G recursion (because when it dies, you place counters with Reyhan AND it keeps them in the yard). One combo I use is Archangel of Thune + Spike Feeder (infinite +1/+1 on all your creatures and infinite life).
One Final note for any 3+ color deck: You're gonna have days where fixing is a nightmare. I'd Suggest Fellwar Stone and Coalition Relic at the minimum and Farseek,Cultivate, and maybe even Explosive Vegetation if you can find slots.
Have fun and watch out for Spike Cannibals and Thief of Bloods and the ultimately scary Solemnity.

If you're looking for some high impact creatures for alesha to bring back Ignition Team Ebonblade Reaper and Raving Dead are things that usually need to be blocked. Wall of Blood Spike Cannibal Thief of Blood can be really dangerous depending on the meta
