+1 for this list, good sir! Allies are what I learned to play Magic with, and will always have a special place in my heart.

+1 for the effort you have put in this list. But it seems like you have missed the Hardened Scales. This card is HUGE in each green ally-deck...

[Emphroy], I actually mention Hardened Scales in each of my green ally example decks. Though considering its power, I will probably be adding a support spells section in every color sometime soon. I hadn't realized how effective it was until playtesting aubman02's All-in-Allies.

Well, ive used the search function so sorry for that.

New cards look amazing, and like they're going to cost quite a bit of cash xC

I've been trying to make a very low-budget U/W late game allies deck with some control. My inability to choose and lack of experience in making control-type decks is playing up though. Could you maybe take a look?

I too went crazy for Collected Company. Ojutai's Command seems okay... but as you aid, the mana cost is a bit high on it. It could potentially take the spot of some Talus Paladins though. Avatar of the Resolute looks like it could be good in more green oriented builds, and Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit could find a spot in a more white focused build. Mirror Mockery could be interesting as well. But really the big one is for sure Collected Company. That card is going to be nuts in modern in general.

Thats what I think too, some people don't think Collected Company is going to make much of a difference, but I think they're crazy. I think Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit could go really well in a GW deck with Hardened Scales, if you have both out, any ally that would normally enter with a +1/+1 counter now enters with 4.

I've been seriously considering Mirror Mockery since it can be used both offensively in allies, and defensively against any big threat like Siege Rhino. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a spot for it though.

hey, check the articles out on me Allies deck!http://puremtgo.com/articles/old-new-brew-modern-5-color-allieshttp://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12423

I am trying to make a midrangy azorius deck Expectations

I hope you don't mind but I linked this primer in my deck You're Never Alone - A Motivational Deck :D

Not at all! Thanks for the reference :)

i made mono white, but i went for a tempo-ey build. what do you think? i strayed from some popular choices, but i dont think that hurts it. W'allies

You think Congregation at Dawn or Juniper Order Ranger have a place in my selesnya, counter based ally deck??

Congregation at Dawn no, I think its outclassed at that mana-cost by Lead the Stampede. Although allies can be situational, you rarely need 3 specific ones all at once. If you're interested in playing an Ondu Cleric or Kabira Evangel at instant speed, I'd throw in 2 Chord of Calling. I've been using it in my competitive allies deck, and its working really well, especially with Harabaz Druid.

Juniper Order Ranger however could be good. You can ramp into him as early as turn 3, and he nets you 4 counters with Hardened Scales. However, Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit has a very similar effect for 3 less mana. Granted its one fewer counter since the Ranger puts one on himself, but I would say the 3-mana difference isn't worth that, unless you're running token generators. (Which could work well)

Hmm Chord of Calling seems interesting for sure. I'll take a look at my options thanks

Inspiring call is pretty awesome with allies. Card draw and wrath protection

Inspiring Call can be really good in the right ally deck, but it can also be pretty bad if you don't have a good board state. I might consider 1 or 2 side boarded in a GW aggro deck, but there are better options for the main board.

made a mill combo deck using Halimar Excavator and Rally the Ancestors pretty goo check it out rally allies

Hi guys! Can you check my allies deck? every advise is appreciated!

Playing allies seems simple on the surface but now that I've done more testing, knowing what to do and when can get pretty tricky.

No kidding. Part of what I love about them is because they've never been tested extensively, there's always room for improvement. You can easily look up the best Tier 1, 2, 3 decks etc...to find out what's good, but with allies you're constantly stumbling across new things.

For example, just a week ago I discovered Alchemist's Refuge, which I had previously forgotten about. Last night I realized that Shapesharer would probably be better than Jwari Shapeshifter in my deck. Evolving decks are the most exciting.

Ally Blitz <- My deck...

If I can have critiques from the OP and from the community at large, I have made a series of YouTube videos in which I try out my new monowhite Allies deck. Here's one of them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZlqwvgxwjI&feature=youtu.beThe other videos are on the channel as well, each with the decklist being in the description.

Thoughts on Glaring Spotlight? It provides an early play, which allies can often lack. It can be used as budget alternative for AEther Vial in the sense it provides a turn 1 artifact drop. It could be horrible but I feel it is at least something to consider. You could make a very anti control ally deck and run that with Noxious Revival too.
