Alesha is a legendary creature card from the Magic: The Gathering set, Dragons of Tarkir. This Mardu-colored (red, white, and black) warrior has the unique ability to reanimate small creatures from the graveyard onto the battlefield under the player’s control, provided they have power 2 or less. This ability, combined with her relatively low mana cost, makes her a powerful engine for aggressive strategies.
The card’s significance stems from its impact on competitive constructed formats. Her ability to repeatedly return powerful utility creatures or efficient attackers creates resilient board states and overwhelms opponents. This resilience and offensive power contributed to the popularity of Mardu strategies during the Dragons of Tarkir Standard format. Furthermore, the character’s compelling backstory and striking artwork contribute to her popularity among players.
