Standard Rally the Ancestors, with Abzan mana-base, combos off of Nantuko Husk and Abzan Ascendancy . Definitely a tier-1 deck with far more potential than a rally deck built without the token generator. Potential to combo and deal 20+ damage in turns 4 and 5, approaching 70+ damage in turns 8 and up. Has multiple win conditions: beat down, tokens, combo, card advantage, and Graveblade Marauder if you run out of Rally the Ancestors and your graveyard is full. Plays a one of Collected Company for value and to help stabilize the board, along with Pharika, God of Affliction for similar reasons and the graveyard hate she provides. Try it out and tell me what you think. Linking games i played on MTGO, first games only, you can watch the other matches on my YouTube channel that is linked -vs- Game 1 UW Tutelage/Control , Game 2 RW Prowess . You can see the combo in full in these videos and I'll add a deck tech with thoughts on future additions and why I picked the cards and the numbers of each. |Voluntary split for first/second at first tournament. Took a split with a friend playing the deck with Liliana, Heretical Healer  , Deathmist Raptor , and extra Collected Company . Great numbers for the archetype in the first test. Able to beat Atarka Red, mono-R, mono-U Tutelage, and RB MIdrange Devotion. Comments and suggestions always appreciated.

Edit

So alternately you can run Secure the Wastes in place of Abzan Ascendancy if you like surprise and the instant speed of making tokens. The ascendancy provides a better long game for sure and insulates you early on if you can turn two it and play some sacrifice creatures until you develop your board and graveyard.
