dear allies playersNefTheDuggernaughtJLenzenaubman02Johanson69Rinne

can you please give me some feedback on this deck which I made recently? Every advice, suggestion or criticism is welcome! Dont forget +1 if you like this deck.

You have 8 targets for Tezzeret's Gambit, I'd cut it completely in this deck. Kor Bladewhirl doesn't do much, especially if you have multiple of these. As for stronger Allies, I'd probably go for Taurean Mauler and Firemantle Mage to replace Ondu Cleric and Kor Bladewhirl (which would drive up the average CMC... maybe not too good). Consider Gideon and AEther Vial. Mentor of the Meek as a 2-3 of certainly wouldn't be bad as well. Not really sure where to make the cuts, you'd also probably need 1 or 2 more lands if your curve got more into the CMC 3 area.

I am not sure I like Kor Bladewhirl in here since there are not many things that really benefit from first strike in this list that do not already have it. I also think 4 Legion's Initiative might also be a little overkill. I do love the card though. I think I would cut the bladewhirls, 1 initiative, and either an Ondu Cleric or a Kabira Evangel for a land, a Talus Paladin, a Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, 2 Firemantle Mages and maybe 2 Lightning Bolts.

Thanks guys for comments. I replaced Tezzeret's Gambit for Gideon, Ally of Zendikar. How could I forget on him? For next changes I have to do some play testing. I am considering Talus Paladin Mentor of the Meek Taurean Mauler

To start off, I'll give a plus one because you are thinking outside of the box. It's definitely inspiring :-)

I think you can get away with some more lands because when looking at your list I feel you can afford winning on turn 5 or 6 consistently rather than 3 or 4, even though you will still have that potential. The reason I say this is because I find that in my deck, it's really hard to get those non-creature spells out, especially if they are a two drop. I think this can be solved with extra man. The dude who did well in Italy and in Oklahoma ended up running some extra land too. But maybe you don't need too....becauuuuuseeeee....

I'm thinking this deck could be a 3-4 turn kill consistently, but I think the problem at this point is that you have too many Ondu Clerics, and maybe need to move the Return to the Ranks to the sideboard. The Ondu Cleric tends to sit there is you have too many, so I would consider cutting him down to one and then adding 4 Expedition Envoys. This would get crazy fast with Akoum Battlesinger since you would then have 8 one drops. This is so important because in order to get that turn 3 win in my deck, I would have either a turn 1 aether vial or a turn one one drop with two turn two one drops to get the kill with battle singer. It's not exactly like that, but the one drops play a big part with the triggers. With that said, the Firemantle Mage is really important in your deck, because you want your creatures to get in for damage every time. I think it would be worth looking into replacing a couple of Kor Bladewhirls with Firemantle Mage.

Lastly, and man, I'm kinda excited about this because I just realized how good the synergy is here, but I think Retreat to Emeria has good potential here. The downside is you have to have another land in hand, so maybe not.

Anywho, I hope some of my brainstorming has helped you here. Have a good one!

Also, I think Legion's Initiative is fantastic in this deck. It really helps against the control match up and gives the allies that don't grow in your deck so much more umph. I really think this deck has the potential to compete with the other tier 1 decks. Good job again ehuez!

aubman02 thanks for your comment! As you suggested I added 4x AEther Vial and 4x Expedition Envoy to speed it up. But I am not sure about the Expedition Envoy because I will probably miss the amount of HP which generates Ondu Cleric in longer games. I have to play test more to make sure which one of them is better.

BTW: THIS DECK IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ALLIES DECK WHICH I MADE SO FAR! Its even better than selesnya or abzan decks!

I tested this deck a little bit more and I am forced to put back Ondu Cleric instead of Expedition Envoy because as I thought I really need HP which he generates.
