How to play
You start with Guardian's Horn. Your #1 rush should be item that counters enemy team most (MR or Armor item). Get Jak'Sho as #2 item. Then adapt.
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
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.
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.
