Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is a Commander that I stumbled across over a year ago and has since become one of my favorites to play. I've run many versions of them, most often a highly interactive "toolbox" build, which can be found here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/smile-all-the-way/

My pod is rather regular, so I decided to change up my build so that they were not seeing the same build all the time. I ended up with two Alesha builds: "Naughty" (this build) and "Nice", which is a equipment based build. ** Deck is still in beta testing.**

This deck plays more as a control build that seeks to win by infinite combo with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Felidar Guardian (infinite creatures with haste), that in a pinch can also win by a sac outlet and Blood Artist. Because the main win con is through an infinite combo, I have maxed out on tutors (including Vampiric TutorGC, Imperial SealGC, and Entomb, which were intentionally left out from the toolbox build (it can still win by this combo, but I looked at it as a "last resort").

While this version has some of the key toolbox elements of earlier Alesha builds, this version also is slanted to a control build through three branches: 1. punish opponents for playing spells (Kambal, Consul of Allocation, Harsh Mentor, Scab-Clan Berserker, Mai, Scornful Striker, and Taurean Mauler, 2. Staxs via Meekstone, Kinjalli's Sunwing, and Loxodon Gatekeeper, and stax via Grand Abolisher, Voice of Victory, and Drannith MagistrateGC. These are meant to buy time, slow your opponents down, and allow you to pull off the infinite combo FTW.

Some other choices (Robe of Stars, Erratic Portal, Thief of Blood, Sword of Hearth and Home) are relatively new tweaks to see how well they play over cards I have typically run whenever possible (e.g., Darksteel Mutation and Oubliette).

There are a few other cards in "Nice" that I would like to include here as well, but I didn't have a spare copy (Bloodletter of Aclazotz).

Surprisingly, I thought this would be a tougher of the two Alesha builds, but "Nice" is 2-0 and "Naughty" is 0-2. However, in the latter case I screwed up a win by tutoring for the wrong card.

Feedback always welcome.
