Done Playtesting - Deck in Competitive State —June 27, 2018
I finished up testing out Descendant's Path and Collected Company, and found them too inconsistent to effectively synergize with the rest of the deck. Basically, they don't have enough payoff for the mana I put into them.
I've spent the last year honing the deck and making sure it is truly competitive against the other decks in Modern right now. I am very proud of it - the deck can reliably win by Turn 6 even with removal. It still has some trouble against UB control, but not so much that I can't play around it by baiting out kill and counterspells and waiting for the right time to go all-in.
I'm going to tour the Modern scene at different LGSs in the area, and see how the deck stacks up against different pods. I'll post results from Modern tourneys so folks can keep up with the deck's viability. Thanks to everyone who has upvoted, commented, and followed the deck on TappedOut over the last year!
You're right bah-bammmm. Let me just burn the deck and delete this post. (:
If you're not sure, why don't you run a few playtests of this deck, see what happens, and then give me some advice to make it more viable in Modern? That'll be much more helpful than unsure assumptions.

What about Anointed Procession for doubling the amount of tokens and then that triggering the mill

Eh. It would be alright wbrannan98, but it really only combos with Unified Front. Plus it costs 4 CMC, the same amount that just casting another Unified Front would. There's just not room for it in the deck in this form. Maybe if it had a lot of Ally token spawn, then Anointed Procession would be more reasonable.

Yea i could totally see that. I agree if you ran more token spawn it would be more beneficial

Call to the Kindred would provide digging to be able to choose what creature you get over d-path, but has the same problems and cost more...
i would try the d-path personally, or just go up on coco count

Forbidden Orchard seems really dangerous here. In modern, the last thing you want to be doing is feeding your opponents a way to kill you. I would recommend replacing them with Mana Confluences, or alternatively finishing off the fetches and shocks (though that will cost you a couple of hundred dollars).
The other thing is that your deck lacks removal. If your opponent windmill slams a Siege Rhino, you're going to start losing a lot of allies very quickly as you're throwing them under the bus to chump block (or gang block) big threats. I would look at adding a handful of Path to Exiles, Dismembers, or similar to help you deal with big threats. Those are the main things that stood out to me.
Other than that, it's an interesting concept and interesting to see Panharmonicon Allies as a modern deck.

Hey ticked-off-squirrel. I checked out that deck and gave it some ideas, but it belongs to a different user. Is that actually you? If not, try re-linking me to your deck again. I didn't see an Ally deck under your account.

KongMing stupid website. i used my deck seed but it always links to a different user deck. try checking under "all decks" on my page. it R/W

ticked-off-squirrel: you mean this one - Rally the Allies!? you can't just use the deck name, you have to use the whole deck slug which in your case is "17-05-17-rally-the-allies". Tapped out has gone through a few different versions of managing decks with the same name. In your case, it was when the date was appended to the title.

This is a very cool ally deck and I like the mill combo. I have my own list but I went for a more control approach. Heres my list http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/10-06-17-mill-allies/ again very nice deck design my friend :)

Unclaimed Territory and Ally Encampment are good alt lands for allies, and Clone Army wins games.
