Enchantment (1)

• 1x Tocasia's Welcome

Alesha can reanimate small creatures for just 2 mana. Abuse this by self-milling (mana-expensive) creatures that you can reanimate. Abuse the ETB-effects, and sacrifice them for more effects. Alesha works the best in the early game. In the late-game, it may be more beneficial to play Karmic Guide and use some loops with that card

Plays well in high powered games

Dream hand

Swamp, Plains, Dark Ritual, Sol Ring, Mesmeric Orb, Basalt Monolith + anything but reveillark

Explanation

Turn 1

Play Swamp. Tap it for a black to play Sol Ring. Tap that to play Mesmeric Orb.

Turn 2

Tap Swamp to play Dark Ritual, addding 3 black mana. Then tap Sol Ring to add 2 colourless mana.

Use the 2 colourless and 1 black to play Basalt Monolith. Then tap the basalt monolith, and untap it using the mana it just generated. Repeat until your deck is empty.

Now play the Plains. Tap the basalt monolith to generate 3 colourless mana. Tap the plains to add 1 white mana. Use one of the two black mana, the white mana and all the colourless mana to flashback Sevinne's Reclamation, targeting Ashnod's Altar (or any other sac outlet) and Animate Dead.

There's two ways to play the combo out from here: Route Reveillark, and route Karmic Guide.

Karmic Guide
Attach the Animate Dead to Karmic Guide. It enters, and immediately dies due to protection from black. Use the Karmic Guide ETB trigger to reanimate Reveillark. Then win using [this combo](https://commanderspellbook.com/combo/1644/), reanimating a payoff with reveillark.

Reveillark
Attach the Animate Dead to Reveillark, reanimating it. Then Sacrifice Reveillark to find any other combo in the deck (But don't reanimate Gravecrawler, reanimate another zombie instead so you can play the Gravecrawler using the last black mana floating.)
