I figured I'd take a shot at making an Ally deck, since they seem pretty popular right now. I always see a lot of love for White and Green allies, with some for Blue (whee, milling!), but very little for Red or Black. Since I prefer Black, I wanted to take advantage of the allies it had to offer.

The goal of this deck is to get your opponent to discard cards as frequently as possible. Once they've pitched enough cards, you trigger the Agadeem Occultist and start playing their own creatures against them.

Comments and recommendations are always welcome.
