Help finding the best colours for allys
Modern Deck Help forum

im looking to build a tri colour ally tribal deck for modern and me being new to modern was wondering; what are the colours for allys in modern?
(i know I want to play )
Mtggoldfish made a deck tech on NayAllies, which you can find here.
I'm not saying you should copy that list (you certainly shouldn't I think!), but it may give you a good starting point at what modern naya allies (NayAllies) look like.
You'll notice that in the comment section below the deck there are some tips that seem interesting.

I don't know about B, but you definitely want W and G, for Collected Company. The third color is up to you.

Austin0,
Most of the recent top decks seem to be either Naya or 4c. For example this one or this.
I'm not sure if JLenzen has been on T/O much recently, but you might check out his or her Modern Allies - Primer (Updated for BfZ!).
Good luck with the brew!

Red has Reckless Bushwhacker and other good allies, but green has cards like Hardened Scales, which are useful because so many allies get +1/+1 counters. I think Naya would be good.

Naya gets my vote. for Hada Freeblade and Kazandu Blademaster, for Akoum Battlesinger and Reckless Bushwhacker, and for Harabaz Druid and Collected Company. Fill in the rest according to taste.

Naya is good. Green for Collected Company, Oran-Rief Survivalist, Harabaz Druid, and Hardened Scales if you want to go the counters route. Red is great for speeding up your clock with stuff like Akoum Battlesinger and Reckless Bushwhacker, Lightning Bolt is also good. If you want to go combo though, Bant is good for the Rally the Ancestors/Return to the Ranks/Collected Company thing where you get a ton of triggers from Halimar Excavator. The main ally cards for that deck are Halimar Excavator, Phantasmal Image, Jwari Shapeshifter, and Ondu Cleric

Naya is the best for 3 color. Abzan is fun... super grindy. But the black allies are overall not very good and black is more of a support color. Red has some pretty solid allies, and can really help speed up the deck.

I'm thinking of kind of a kind of deck for Munda, Ambush Leader and for Kalastria Healer kind of that shenanigans IDK Naya does seem powerfull and really fast Ill think about it, thanks for the help

Neither of the allies you mentioned are really modern playable. Kalastria Healer could be used in a Rally the Ancestors list, but thats about as far as its usefulness goes. If Munda, Ambush Leader put the cards into play, or at the very least into your hand, then he would be fine. But since he just puts them on top, he feels very underwhelming.
