In your youtube video, how did you get the alternate art on the right?

Sadly, a printout Mr. Elkoholic , I'm still waiting to finish my work at the seaside so I can go back home and get a proper alter made!

Thanks for you help. That is a shame because the art is sweet imo.

I still prefer the alter pic that is on the help of this page, instead of that one in the video

Any plans on what you're putting in from Kaladesh? At the moment I'm looking at the following for mine:

-Angel of Invention

-Gonti, Lord of Luxury

-Kambal, Consul of Allocation

-Filigree Familiar

-Key to the City

Any of these strike you as good for your deck? Or maybe any others?

why do you have in altar of dementia over something like ashnods altar? i feel like there arent a lot of synergies with mill, but maybe im overlooking something

zakky234: It's a sac outlet that churns your deck into your gy increasing the number of targets for Alesha to recur. Ashnod's Altar while also good, doesn't (Phyrexian Altar is hands down better).

derp completely forgot you could target yourself XD smart thinking

Honestly, ALL of these cards seems so appealing.

Angel is tutorable with Recruiter of the Guard AND Reveilark gets it back.

Both legendaries are appealing, but Orzhov Tax Man appeals to me more.

Filigree Pet Fox Thingie is cute, and could be useful.

Key is a must in Alesha. Makes her unblockable, or somebody like Master of Cruelties kill a dude!

My thoughts were the same. I intend to test Filigree Familiar but I don't think it will over perform. I finally have a deck list put together for my version. I'll post it at someach point when I'm feeling less lazy :p

Punderstorm keep me posted, mate!

Do you have the link of the art used for both the alternate in your video and the one here?

+1, nice deck man! If you were going to add Serra Ascendant and Nahiri, the Harbinger, what would you take out for them? Also what are your thoughts on adding demonic and/or vampiric tutor to the deck, to help reach combo pieces easier?

Namtlaks1 If you've got access to those tutors, go for it!

It's currently out of my budget, plus I'm actually focusing on getting Panharmonicon , Key to the City and a better mana base.

As for SA and Nahiri, depends on your meta. Maybe you don't need Opression or Sadistic Hypnotist because people use a lot of graveyards?

Remove hate as your meta dictates so, or tell me how your meta looks like so I might ponder about it.

Thanks for the compliment on my description man!

Your deck looks great! I'm still in the planning process of mine, so I'm looking for every insight before I actually go and buy the cards I need, so I'm keeping yours as a referrence to decide on the final list!

+1 Given, looking great!

I actually just moved to a new area recently, and will be experiencing a new meta as of tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it :). And thats a good point, I'll add/remove cards based off of what I see. I'll definitely try to fit at least one of the tutors in, since this deck can really go off with the right pieces in play

Since this deck is somewhat reliant on sticking Alesha, attacking to trigger her ability, and generally letting her alive, maybe include some stuff like Whispersilk Cloak, Swords of X and Y, Lightning Greaves, etc? If so, Stoneforge Mystic might not be a bad idea.

Would also just generally recommend fleshing out your mana base a bit to ensure you have the right colors when you need them. City of Brass, Battlefield Forge, Sulfurous Springs, Temple of Malice, Temple of Triumph, Clifftop Retreat, Isolated Chapel, Inspiring Vantage, Concealed Courtyard, Smoldering Crater, Shambling Vent, Needle Spires, etc.

Finally, you might want to add Chromatic Lantern, and I'm baffled by the absence of Sol Ring, which is literally in every Commander deck.

1) Playing her a lot, I've noticed if we don't have Alesha out, we still aren't in a bad place - lot of games where Alesha was absent, just taxing people went a long way; Kambal, Consul of Allocation ,Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Mogis, God of Slaughter do pull a lot of work.

But if I were to cut something for, let's say Greaves, what would you cut?

2) Ungh, my mana base is the bane of my existence and some trades have been set up to fix my mana base, can't wait to improve it!

3) Lantern is something I'm interested in, and a new reprint in C16 might make me get one. Sol Ring I got out since I got bored by it. Yes, it does go in almost every EDH deck (decks like Animar do exist that aren't 100% shoe in for it but ...) and I decided I'd rather put something I dig more than Sol Ring. This last point was more style over efficiency.

Fair enough as to that first point; my suggestions were based more on general principles than personal experience with this particular commander, buy your creature suite did suggest a certain degree of fragility which is why I made the recommendations that I did. I'd absolutely recommend the changes to your mana base though; a bad mana base is akin to having a bad offensive line in football; no matter how powerful your business cards (position players) are, your deck will be inefficient without a solid mana base.

I'm not sure if this is really a competitive build or just really well made casual deck. Good on you sir for being able to toe the line.

Also I do have a suggestion of 1 swamp and, with god as my witness no other card I can see cutting, Key to the City being replaced by Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and a good ol'fashioned Filth. Or does that feel like overkill?

If I ever do manage to get Urborg, it and Filth are coming in.

As for the Key, dunno if I can cut it. I played a tons with it, and damn does it over perform!
