So this is just an all in Allies deck, but i think that this has a little more going for it that the avarage tribal deck.

It uses a great ammount of board wipes and recursion, in Wrath of God, Living Death, Retribution of the Meek and the like allow this deck to keep creatures out of my way and bring them back with Immortal Servitude, Patriarch's Bidding. (Bring to Light also almost always doubles as another Patriarch's Bidding)

Almost all the allies all have enter the battlefield abilities, and here are a couple of the key allies:

Sea Gate Loremaster: usually the first ally i search up when playing tazri

Hagra Diabolist: drains all opponents, and its not hard to run away with that life loss.

Kazuul Warlord: bumps the whole team, pushes combat into my favor.

Ondu Cleric: for the same reason as hagra diabolist, were gonna be loosing alot of life with the shock lands, and gaining life is no joke one of the best things you can do.

non ally creatures:this deck runs a few non-allies, but for good reason, lets take a look at a few.

Athreos, God of Passage: let's offer our opponents the oppourtunity to give us our allies back. if not, its all good. bolt.

Joiner Adept: lets just fix up that mana.

Deadeye Navigator: pretty obivous, lets flicker some allies for ETB effects.

Mentor of the Meek: almost all allies land as a low power creatures, might as well draw some cards on it.

some other key cards:

Chromatic Lantern: fix fix fix that mana.

Phyrexian Arena/Rhystic Study: draw draw draw those cards

venser, the sojurner: another flicker outlet. usually pulls double duty by flickering a tapped big dude who gets bigger upon reentering as a blocker.

Agadeem Occultist: oh, is that a Craterhoof Behemoth in your graveyard? neat.

well i hope you guys find this deck interesting. im always open to suggestions. if you want to help me finish foiling it out, ive got a bunch of puca points rotting, so http://pucatrade.com/profiles/show/9927

thanks!
