This looks fun! I see it's in your maybeboard already, but I really do like Syr Konrad. He does a lot of work in my meta, where boardstates can get creature heavy, and Reanimator/Aristocrats decks need an additional check besides graveyard hate.

I would recommend Marchesa's Decree as another effect that insulates you, but also encourages your opponents to swing at each other with Monarch. Grenzo's Ruffians can also give you some additional group slug if you're swinging away with multiple creatures each combat.

If you're going for a more aggro & attack based Alesha build, I highly recommend using a Menace sub-theme. My Alesha deck was more aggro-focused at first, but I recently rehauled it to be more Aristocrats/Combo. Menace can help your creatures get through for damage. I'd suggest checking out:

For evasion help

• Labyrinth Raptor
• Goblin War Drums
• Sonorous Howlbonder
• Shrieking Mogg
• Filth

For creatures that "hit heavy" despite their power, especially if they have Menace or other evasion:

• Grenzo's Ruffians
• Stigma Lasher (More-so Lifegain meta hate)
• Virtus the Veiled
• Raving Dead
• Mirror Entity
• Master of Cruelties (less budget friendly)

Also heads up, Nettle Drone is not red and will not get a damage boost from Torbran.
