The deck aims to win by pinging out the table with aristocrat-style sacrifice effects combined with combat damage and Alesha's ability to recur value. There are a few ways to grant unblockable to make sure the combat gets through, and ways to prevent unfavorable blocks for when Alesha brings back an essential combo piece.

Outside of just straight up swinging out every turn and getting incidental ping damage, there are two direct win cons: The first involves cheating Master of Cruelties out using Alesha's on attack trigger. It's a bit slower as it can only take care of one player at a time and also paints a target on you. After you take out the first player, the remaining players will know exactly what's coming and will try to stop it. You will be public enemy #1 at that point.

The second does not require Alesha at all and will instantly win the game. This win con requires a sac outlet, Cathars' Crusade, and Murderous Redcap. Sac the Redcap, it comes back with a -1/-1 counter because Persist, which gets cancelled out with Cathars' Crusade. Rinse and repeat until all opponents have been eliminated.
