The general idea behind this deck was that I wanted something with a lot of utility dorks and inevitability. Alesha is a fine attacking body in this format - great, even, considering first strike - but her ability seems better in an aggro-control deck than a straight aggressive one since in the latter case your guys are generally interchangeable. I decided to go heavy on discard to give me a shot against combo and control. This deck may need a few more sacrifice outlets.
General: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death (Is this pronounced like Alicia or All-esh-uh?)

My sideboard is still a bit up in the air, but something like this might be a good start:
Eidolon of the Great Revel
Phyrexian Revoker
Torch Fiend
Withered Wretch
Fulminator Mage
Engineered Plague
Wear / Tear
Boros Charm
Zealous Persecution
Toxic Deluge
Some of these might be better in the main, like Revoker and/or Wretch. Persecution may also be worth moving to the main, it's hard to tell since I haven't been able to test this yet. It's also possible that I want a Shizo, Death's Storehouse in there to push Alesha through against larger creatures.
