So, I decided that I wanted to use Alesha as my Tiny Leaders. Throughout the design process I knew that I wanted to build a Death And Taxes type deck, and most of the creatures that are used in that sort of deck have power <= 2. So, here's my list. I tried to pick as many creatures do the following things: selectively discard, remove resources and protect my own creatures or limit the opponent's options.

I then added some other removal and efficient creatures. I think the deck works very well so far, though I know that it can be tightened further. The Viscera Seer/Goblin Bombardment works stupidly well with the old exile effects like Fiend Hunter since you can sacrifice the creature in response to its first trigger, which will exile the target forever.I'm not 100% sold on Tortured Existence and Goblin Rabblemaster, as I think I want to win via resource attrition rather than straight aggression.

I have tested it against a Glissa, The Traitor artifact deck, an Ezuri Elf tribal, and a Saffi Eriksdotter combo deck. The deck was successful in winning vs the Glissa and Saffi via attrition but couldn't deal with the large board state that the elf deck was able to obtain very quickly, so I think that's a weakness that needs to be addressed.
