I know there are more efficient aluren kills such as horned kavu/furious assault, but for my EDH deck, I was trying to think of more options to have handy if that gets disrupted. Here's how it goes:

With aluren and cloudstone curio on the field, cast Melira. Then cast Ichor Rats. Curio (targeting Melira) and Ichor Rats (giving a poison counter to all players) will trigger. You must have the trigger for Ichor Rats happen first before bouncing Melira, otherwise you will get a poison counter too. So everyone else gets a poison counter (Melira doesn't let you get one), and then Melira will be back in your hand. Then, cast Melira, bouncing Ichor Rats with Curio. Rinse and repeat.

Takes a lot of mana, guess it's for EDH.

I only see 4 mana needed, Turn 3 you drop the Curio, Turn 4 you drop the Alluren and can cast both creatures for free.  Do be careful, though, because the Curio is a triggered ability if your opponent kills the creature you'd otherwise bounce you may run into trouble.

Where on earth do you see anything that says "return another with the same name"? Cloudstone Curio returns cards with the same permanent type (non artifact), thats the only restriction. Name has nothing to do with it.

Real trouble would only come if they killed E-witness. Other wise I would just get whatever I want back with her.
