Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, perhaps?

I think I'd also opt for at least 1xWinds of Abandon over Detention Sphere, as it's both cheaper to cast and also has a little bit more versatility as a one-sided board wipe.

In: Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate (a solid recursion option), Ali from Cairo (this is a ripcord to pull when you're looking at lethal, I've found myself in this position a few times and since this deck is very good at dialing up answers, I've slotted good 'ol Ali into the deck, Callous Bloodmage (this is a needed answer for decks that also rely on graveyard recursion), Carrion Feeder (I needed a creature based sac-oulet, which would be easier to tutor and would allow infinite combos), Dolmen Gate (chose over Legion's Initiative and Reconnaissance -both of which I love and are good alternatives -I'm testing out the gate to see which one I like more), Goblin Bombardment (free sac outlet, can go infinite), Pinnacle Monk  ^Flip (back into the main and out from the maybe; the one game I didn't have it I found the game stretching with lots of juicy targets accumulating in the graveyard and no way to get them back; I like options), Swamp (up to 5 total, better hitting land drops), Viscera Seer (another more optimal free sac-outlet).

Out: Aether Vial (I love this card and it's done good work mid-game, but I think there is better value), Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit (I decided to remove the infinite combo with Murderous Redcap for more resiliency and interaction potential), Baton of Morale (I really want to showcase the power of banding and think this could be a good way to direct damage to the creatures you want to die/recur, but am testing Dolmen Gate as an alternative way to do it), Cauldron of Souls (good for ETB recursion and wraths but I wanted to bring down the CMC, tough call), Claws of Gix (replaced for better options), Denethor, Ruling Steward (better options), Legion's Initiative (I love this card and it lets me get an extra ETB trigger, but am trying Dolmen Gate as an alternative), Murderous Redcap (took out the infinite damage trigger with Anafeza), Sword of Light and Shadow (I really like swords, but felt there are better options).

Based on some great feedback on Reddit and some of my own ideas, I made some edits (cards removed to sideboard so I can keep track).

In: Restoration Specialist, replaces Treasure Hunter and Auramancer.

In: Reveillark, replaces Pinnacle Monk  ^Flip

In: Panharmonicon, replaces Blade of Selves for ETB triggers

In: Felidar Guardian for infinite token combo with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Replaces Athreos, God of Passage as it makes recursion conditional.

In: Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker. I wanted to test drive it.

In: Grand Abolisher (protection). Out: Boros Charm (cry! I love this card, but it's not the right kind of protection for this deck).

In Murderous Redcap infinite damage win-con with Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit. Out: Figure of Destiny, feedback is that it is too slow, although to be fair it helped me win the first time I ran this deck.

Will also be updating Maybeboard based on feedback, some of the cards I don't have or haven't worked in yet.

Flarhoon13 on Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Oops, I Did it Again

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Oops, I Did it Again won, Comboed off on my fifth attempt thru lots of disruption. Ian and Madison didn't team up, on their Ren and Stimpy, err, Rin and Seri, Inseparable and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic decks. Murderous Redcap entered at least 5 times and Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit about three before the combo finally stuck, with Karmic Guide out and then Renegade Reaper milled a Reveillark, starting a new combo that finally won the game.

Hey thanks for putting in all the work researching and optimizing this deck, I used it as a basis for an Isshin deck of my own. Here's a few things I uncovered: Sword of the Animist benefits from Isshin's double activations, which is pretty insane mana ramp. Kaya the Inexorable can protect Isshin from exile, I'm also using it with Nahiri's Resolve to force 1/1 token flyers each turn. Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit also benefits from Nahiri's, although granted it wouldn't be as useful here. Etali, Primal Storm double activation is insane with Isshin. Also went for some legendary shenanigans: Gimli of the Glittering Caves (also benefits from Nahiri's) Gloin, Dwarf Emissary, Mangara, the Diplomat, Mirror of Galadriel, Relic of Legends, and some other minor tweaks. There's 25 legendary creatures in my version, so the Mirror and Relic will definitely get some value.

I know that's way too much to consider to add here, just wanted to add my 2 cents and thank you for doing the legwork.

After playtesting this deck a few times, I saw that there wasn't much umph to the deck. So, my first revision is as follows.

IN: Archangel of Tithes, Resolute Archangel, Faithbound Judge  ^Flip, and Rogue's Passage

OUT: Springjack Pasture, Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, Aetherflux Reservoir, and Cosmos Elixir
