How it works
You rush Iceborn Gauntlet and optionally Imperial Mandate.
You play as Tank, but with focus on kitting the enemy team and utility for your team.
How to play
You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.
There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.
For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
Tips and Tricks
General
Trick #1 (the simplest combo possible): W + Q together, so you gap close with W and knock up immediately with Q.
Trick #2: Q first, then Flash right away to your target to insta stun them. This way you can insta CC unsuspecting enemies.
Trick #3: W to the minion, Q (not in mid air, wait for W to end), then Flash right away to your target. You will insta stun them.
Do not wait to be at low health to use R! More HP you have, more effective it is.
Riot
Using Pulverize can allow you to establish better positioning for Headbutt.
Move Speed is very important on Alistar. Consider which boots to buy carefully.
Using Flash can allow you catch your target off guard to knock them back into your allies with Pulverize and Headbutt.
