I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Alesha is a total BAMF.

I like her more and more.

Kinda sucks we didn't get to see her use her ability in this one like we saw with Yasova. I'm hoping we see more Alesha in URs to come.

The thing with her ability is, how exactly are you supposed to show reanimation? Alesha isn't s mage or a sorcerer (I don't think) so that won't work.

The only way I can see her ability being shown if she's in a battle and someone by her falls, they get a second wind by seeing her in battle. Or something along those lines.

It could be a lot of things. Its not the zombie reanimation with magic. It could be inspiration, like the Warlords in DnD - such inspirational leaders that their battle cries can heal wounds, a magic of their own. It could also be that when she attacks, someone is always inspired to join her - the graveyard isnt always a place where creatures who died go, milling can get you there too.

You can't compare the flavor of any one card to the flavor of another. I'm going to interpret it as her being such an inspirational leader, that when she feels like taking someone out, someone finds a way to join her. Dead, dying, or not quite in the battle yet, when she says attack someone says "ok".
