Hi guys! Right now I am brewing this boros ally deck: The invincible allies. It is a budget deck which uses equipments. Can you please have a look at it and suggest which creature cards to cut?

My current list. Debating over the maybeboard cards and some general numbers. Opinions?

Posted a little FNM report (disclaimer: I suck) over here.

Also I created the subreddit alliesmtg, feel free to chip in with builds/ strategy discussion etc. Thought this might be a good new hub since JLenzen sorta abandoned this primer.

Wonderful primer! Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, is definitely not a he, though. Love, all of Magic's trans players.

Sad thing... The best primer on the whole website is all broken now. :(

You don't enjoy the massive images of speedometer looking things elpokitolama? xD

It's not my favorite kind of art, I guess? :p

What do you guys think of Claim / Fame? I have been brewing a Mardu list, and I think it feels pretty good as a 2-3 of. Downside is of course having to play black as black allies are not the best. But Claiming an Akoum Battlesinger or a Kazandu Blademaster and then surging a Reckless Bushwhacker feels pretty good for 3 mana.

It looks very good!

Well, I took that Mardu Allies list to an FNM and 3-0'd vs W/U control, Grixis Death's Shadow, and Free Win Red. There a few changes I would make to the deck, but it behaved pretty dang well. I was certainly impressed by Claim / Fame. Here is the list if you guys are at all curious: Mardu Allies

Hey all. I've been experimenting with an aggressive 4 color allies deck and I was looking for some thoughts and advice. I especially want help because I don't own some of the expensive pieces and I wanted to check around before investing 100+ euros in the deck.

Honestly, it's just all of the best and fastest allies I could find put into a deck with Aether Vial, so I guess it's not so original, but I haven't seen anyone else give it a shot (note the maybeboard especially).

It can be seen here: Expeditious Allies

Hey all again. I've developed my version of a competitive aggro allies deck and I wanted to get some insight. The general strategy is to play lots of creatures, go both wide and tall and kill your opponent fast... obviously.

This deck has placed in the top during the first 4 tournaments I've taken it to, including a top 8 finish in Granada's bi-weekly large tournament. Worth noting that none of these were more than 4 rounds, but the competition is still top tier (seriously, people here in Spain are like me, they have no chill when it comes to mtg).

The major differences between other ally decks is the lack of Aether Vial and other support cards like Hardened Scales. I've found that allies become distinctly more powerful the more of them you run and the less you use anything else and by staying with 22 lands, when going all in with creatures, the consistent T3 third land drop payoff huge. Additionally, the excessive redundancy/high saturation of creatures makes the deck super consistent.

Can we make an ally discord or reddit?
