So this idea started as a Mardu Allies Equipment deck that had about 14 equipments and tried to voltron up any of my creatures, specifically Drana, Liberator of Malakir. That list had far too little removal and as I added some I found myself removing the less valuable equipments until I ended up with this list which isn't necessarily a final version.

I call it Big and Tall because all the token production gets this deck pretty wide. With up to four different ways to make tokens that all trigger Rally I drain life and with Tajuru Warcaller can end the game right away! Having a creature equipped with a Captain's Claws while Ondu Champion and/or Kalastria Healer and/or Warcaller are on the board gets pretty sick.

Please feel free to leave any and all suggestions.

I'm splashing green for Tajuru Warcaller because she's an ally and Ally Encampment is great for that.

There are some one-of Allies, all of which have 'Rally,' because the one thing that this deck does pretty well is pump out tokens. I figure reducing the quantity of some to the more expensive Allies like Tajuru Warcaller allows me to have a larger variety of Allies with value like Ondu Champion as one-ofs and build a slightly more aggressive curve.

The sideboard just has a little bit of everything from more removal to a couple more value-adding Allies and another Gideon, Ally of Zendikar. The one thing I am sort of stuck on is if I should main-deck Allied Reinforcements and if so, what should come out?

Thanks for looking.
