4/15/2013: An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.

Doesn't work the way you think it does.
Alesha has a triggered ability that goes off when you declare her as an attacking creature. At this point, you pay your mana and get your Necrite back to the field.

Then, it enters the Declare Blockers step, and they can just block the necrite and kill it again, most likely.

You do get to threaten them with Necrite over and over if this happens, but its not the instant kill from the graveyard you seem to think it is.
