In a Nutshell

I put this deck together for tabletop play with friends. I aim to capitalize on Ally creature synergy to grow aggro threats, cushion up on life against attacks, and ping my opponents for stacking damage with Allies death triggers. With all of the life gain and board preservation/restoration between Eerie Interlude and March from the Tomb, I aim to keep a healthy and resilient board state. Restoring a board with March from the Tomb can be pretty demoralizing to opponents.

If needed, I can sac Kor Ally Tokens from Captain's Claws with Vampiric Rites to give me a little life gain and card draw. The interaction is made a little more fun with Zulaport Cutthroat

The sideboard is fairly fluid and tuned to my friends' meta. I'm willing to change it up.

A few quick easy budget fixes could be to take out the Godless Shrine (especially the foil one), as a playset of Isolated Chapel works fairly well. The sideboard doesn't have to be picked up, due to its specificity.

Comments, suggestions, and +1s are welcome.

Hada Freeblade and Kazandu Blademaster will be my primary aggro creatures.
  • Anguished Unmaking Sweet instant speed removal that hits multiple targets. The 3 life isn't too much of a downside with the consistent amount of life gain in this deck. This is a nice sweet spot between Unmake and Utter End.

  • Bala Ged Thief Mid game hand-disruption. Useful for getting rid of those spells that are needed mid-late game that help turn games around. Very nice for removing sorcery and enchantment speed removal.

  • Dawn Charm Utility for 2 Mana.

  • Go for the Throat Spot removal.

  • Mark of Asylum Burn deck hate.

  • Runed Halo Situation-specific protection as needed.

  • Surgical Extraction Get rid of combo pieces and play-sets of problematic cards. I've also used it to remove a card from my own graveyard to reshuffle and reset draws.

  • Eerie Interlude Useful to preserve a strong board presence. Useless if I am behind and building up my board.

  • Match from the Tomb Useful for recovering from board-wipes and creature loss.

  • Scout's Warning Flash in a creature and cantrip.

  • Kabira Evangel Team protection.

  • Ondu Cleric Lifegain that stacks with each Cleric on the field.

  • Vampiric Rites A sac outlet for Kor Ally Tokens from Captain's Claws. Nice interaction with Zulaport Cutthroat for life gain and card draw.

  • Zulaport Cutthroat Puts sting and marginal life gain into creature deaths if I don't have any protection or flickering cards available. Fun interaction with Captain's Claws + Vampiric Rites .

    Play testing with Scout's Warning instead of Cloudshift. Might consider picking up the Scout's Warning if it plays well.
