Hyper aggressive allies that i've been playing for the last few months.
Akoum Battlesinger
is the hidden gem in the deck. She may seem a bit underwhelming at first, but she makes this deck incredibly explosive, and enables a turn 3 kill (you only need a Aether Vial, 2 akoum battlesingers and 2 one drop allies in your opening hand or first topdecks to have lethal on turn 3, how hard can that be? right?... right?).
Kabira Evangel
gives all allies protection, with Aether Vial you have instant protection.
Hada Freeblade
and Kazandu Blademaster are the other must have 4 of in all ally decks. The same can be said about
Oran-Rief Survivalist
but he isn't as crucial as the others.
Expedition Envoy
is probably the most disputed card in my deck. Most say that 4 Champion of the Parish would be better since it becomes a larger threat, and all my creatures trigger it. But i dont like it, Parish does not trigger allies and that makes it a horrible top deck, not to mention it does not get protection, first strike, lifelink, menace or the +1/+0 buff. But
Expedition Envoy
does, and with
Akoum Battlesinger
she will hit pretty hard.
Firemantle Mage
gives allies menace and is there only as a 5th and worse
Kabira Evangel
, though he is better vs affinity than Kabira.
Kor Bladewhirl
gives allies first strike. Im testing her out, so far she's been good, may remove 1 Lantern Scout for 1 more of her.
Lantern Scout
gives all allies lifelink. Good against other aggro decks, definitly a 1 of in the deck, but 2 may be to much.
Aether Vial gives instant allies, what more is there to say?
Collected Company hits all the creatures in the deck. I love this card, and whats not to love about getting out 2 allies at instant speed? Nothing feels better than playing CoCo and getting 1
Kabira Evangel
and 1
Akoum Battlesinger
.
Path to Exile one of the beste removal spells in modern.
Ally Encampment helps colour fixing, and can be sacrificed to save an ally.
Cavern of Souls is the only card in this list i dont actully own. Uncounterable allies and colour fixing they do it all. I just wish they cost less.
Im still working on the sideboard. So far im not impressed with Suppression Field, though i still think i need to test it more before i make up my mind. If i were to replace it, it would probably be with Leyline of Sanctity, as burn is a difficult matchup, not to mention that it protects me from Inquisition of Kozilek and Thoughtseize. But i dont know if leyline has a home in this type of aggressive deck.
The rest have been good to me.
Feel free to add your 2 cents :)
