Hazoret's Monument
Legendary Artifact
Red creature spells you cast cost less to cast.
Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card.

Quick heads-up, there are two Hazoret's Monument in here.
Great to see that Chiss-Goria in the deck, it's such a great card. Very cool deck in general. In case you want a cheap alternativ to a Mycosynth Golem, maybe try out Inspiring Statuary. Also, to amp up your token production, Academy Manufactor would be a fine addition.

I missed the edit window on my first comment, but meant to also suggest Hazoret's Monument. Excellent for discounting Alesha and your other Red creatures, but also gives you a repeated source for looting/rummaging draw. I think this could probably replace Collector's Vault or one of your 3 mana rocks.

Always happy to see another Alesha player! She was my favorite and longest running deck for a while before I took her apart about a year ago to build my Isshin deck.
All in all your deck looks fairly solid and like you have most of the core components that a more combo focused Alesha deck would want. Pulling off the Master of Cruelties resurrection with Alesha once is definitely a favorite memory from my time playing it.
I'd recommend checking out Jaxis, the Troublemaker if you like Preston, the Vanisher for getting additional token copies and value. Jaxis fits really nicely with Alesha's general game plan and does some solid work of filling your yard and also drawing with Blitz.
Although it may sound counter-intuitive, I'd actually recommend swapping out 2-4 lands for some mana rock ramp, like the cycles of Talisman of Indulgence or Orzhov Signet or even something like Hazoret's Monument. 40 lands is a bit high for a deck that isn't necessarily Landfall focused, or utilizing a higher land count as part of its strategy. Being able to cast mana rocks can be helpful on those earliest turns. Besides ritual spells and treasures, mana rocks are the next most helpful way for the non-Green color combos to try and keep pace on ramp.

Alesha has received some cool new tech in the past year that I'd recommend checking out:
-
Loran of the Third Path - Reusable removal with Alesha, & a political draw piece.
-
Tocasia's Welcome - You currently have about 16 creatures, including Alesha, that will trigger it.
-
Welcoming Vampire - Would trigger off 29ish of your creatures.
-
Jaxis, the Troublemaker - Can help dump creatures into your yard & makes token copies, also draws cards.
-
Preston, the Vanisher - Will make token copies of reanimated creatures.
Not new tech, but also worth looking at:
I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Thanks for the notes, Crow-Umbra!
It's hard to put my finger on where the "slow" feel comes from, though I'll probably have a better answer the next time I get a couple games in. I agree that draw is the most likely culprit here. I haven't had issues with the "amount/speed of mana" part of ramp, but I have had a couple issues with the "right colors" part of ramp, so that's under the magnifying glass right now. It was a toss-up between "3-mana rocks that hit all Mardu colors" and "2-mana rocks that hit 2/3 each" when I was first building, and I'm not 100% sure which I prefer. I'll try the smaller rocks out and see how it feels.
Good lookout on Hazoret's Monument and Welcoming Vampire especially, I hadn't thought of them. They both enable things I want to do and I think I can fit them in.
Duergar Hedge-Mage is in there mainly because it hits both artifacts AND enchantments under the right conditions, but Loran's card draw is really tempting, so it's worth considering the swap-in.
Thanks very much for the feedback, and yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with Alesha so far!

Happy to see more people giving Alesha a try. She was also my first venture into graveyard shenanigans.
In regards to the sluggishness, what about your deck feels slow? Your deck looks like it could use a little more draw, & maybe some slightly faster ramp (at quick glance).
I think Boros Signet & co, and Talisman of Conviction & co could replace some of your 3 mana rocks.
Some cool draw pieces that can fit in:
- Hazoret's Monument
- Loran of the Third Path - could maybe replace Duergar Hedge-Mage.
- Tocasia's Welcome
- Welcoming Vampire - this or Tocasia's Welcome could maybe swap with Mentor of the Meek.
Hope these suggestions are helpful. Alesha is a really fun commander.

Hello.
You are running a lot of cards that make you draw and discard cards. I think that Squee, Goblin Nabob would fit in this deck well. You can discard him and get him back in your upkeep and you can do it over and over again.
In the recent sets WoTC printed a couple of really good impulse draw cards in red like March of Reckless Joy, Reckless Impulse, Light Up the Stage or Rob the Archives. If you have no way to use cards in your graveyard then these 4 are in my opinion better than all versions of Thrill of Possibility you play. If you want to keep playing all versions of Thrill of Possibility then I'd consider adding some cards that you can cast from your graveyard like for example Mishra's Research Desk. Endless Atlas could draw you lots of cards.
You're running 32 creatures so Hazoret's Monument will save you more mana than any mana rock and will also let you filter your hand like crazy. Lastly, Skullclamp, Idol of Oblivion and Terrain Generator seem to have good synergies with all the mountains you have and all the 1/1 tokens this deck can produce. Heraldic Banner - for just 1 more mana you get a mana rock and an anthem for your go wide strategy.
Hope you find some of the suggestions helpful.
Wyrbak on Spellstutter Sprite vs Ragemonger
1 year ago
I cast my Kragma Warcaller with a Ragemonger and a Hazoret's Monument on the battlefield bringing the casting cost to {2}. My opponent plays a Spellstutter Sprite with a Cloud of Faeries on the battlefield. Is the Kragma Warcaller countered?
