Introduction
"Allies – As a unit we stand and united we fall!" is an aggressive, synergy-driven deck built around the Ally creature type, aiming to overwhelm opponents with a steadily growing army. Every Ally you play strengthens the whole team, creating constant pressure and enabling explosive turns. With the support of Aether Vial, your creatures arrive exactly when you need them — often at instant speed — making your battlefield unpredictable and dangerous.
Core Strategy
The deck’s backbone is its lineup of efficient Ally creatures, each contributing to both early pressure and long-term scaling through Ally triggers.
Hada Freeblade
Your ideal turn-one play. It grows with every Ally that enters the battlefield, quickly becoming a large and reliable threat.
Kazandu Blademaster
A powerful 2-drop with vigilance and first strike. Thanks to Ally synergy, it scales rapidly and plays both offense and defense exceptionally well.
Oran-Rief Survivalist
Another growing Ally that keeps increasing in size with every new creature. It helps maintain a consistent curve of aggressive bodies.
Earth King's Lieutenant
A new Ally that adds pressure and contributes additional synergy to your growing board.
Metallic Mimic
A pseudo-lord for the tribe. Naming Ally lets all your creatures enter with +1/+1 counters, dramatically accelerating the speed at which your army becomes overwhelming.
Utility Allies
Some Allies provide crucial non-combat support, helping the deck accelerate, stabilize, or break through stalled boards.
South Pole Voyager
A flexible Ally with lifegain that also helps you draw cards.
Harabaz Druid
Your main source of mana acceleration. With even a modest board, it can generate huge amounts of mana, allowing you to cast multiple Allies in a single turn and chain triggers explosively.
Ondu Cleric
Your lifegain engine. It can easily gain 10+ life in one turn, turning aggressive matchups — especially Burn — into winnable battles.
Kabira Evangel
One of the most important Allies in the deck. It gives your team protection from a chosen color, enabling:
• safe attacks,
• unblockable swings,
• and protection from removal.
Evangel frequently turns an already strong board into a lethal one.
Mana Base
The mana base is crafted to reliably cast your multicolored Allies without slowing down your aggression.
Ally Encampment, Cavern of Souls, Unclaimed Territory, Secluded Courtyard, and Jasmine Dragon Tea Shop all ensure access to any color of mana for your Ally spells. This allows you to run a toolbox of multicolor creatures while staying smooth and consistent.
Key Card – Aether Vial
Aether Vial is the deck’s secret weapon and a key enabler of its strongest plays.
With Vial on the battlefield:
• Hada Freeblade, Kazandu Blademaster, and Oran-Rief Survivalist can enter the battlefield at instant speed.
• Utility Allies like Ondu Cleric or Kabira Evangel can be flashed in to surprise opponents.
• You can pump out multiple Allies without spending mana, enabling massive trigger turns.
• Your creatures dodge counterspells and create constant pressure.
Aether Vial turns an aggressive strategy into an explosive and unpredictable one.
Conclusion
"Allies – As a unit we stand and united we fall!" is a deck for players who enjoy fast-paced tribal aggression, powerful synergies, and overwhelming board development. By combining the unified strength of the Ally tribe with the flexibility of Aether Vial, every creature becomes a meaningful contributor to victory. Rally your forces, grow your army, and lead your Allies to triumph!
