Rally Combo deck for Pioneer. The goal of the deck is to play small cheap creatures with powerful effects such as card draw while we mill ourselves with stitchers supplier/satyr wayfinder and then cast a Rally the Ancestors to bring it all back from the yard.

From there we get a powerful board and sac everything to Nantuko Husk with Zulaport Cutthroats/Cruel Celebrants out and ping our opponents for the win.

Our sideboard allows us to answer against combo decks (leyline so we cant be targeted for kills) and also allows us to transition into a more grindy abzan midrange decklist. We typically will want to side in the midrange plan against grindy control decks trying to win through the currently popular approach of the second sun option, or sphinx rev / supreme verdict lists without win conditions. It isn't realistic to be able to race a control deck like this because you cant typically cast the rally until turn 4 to 5 and a control player will have t3feri out along with a counterspell. So you'll have to cast it on your turn just to have it countered.

The extra collected company is in the side to race other rally decks. Why wait to cast the rally when you can just out pace them beforehand? Simply thoughtseize them post game 1 to pick apart rally from their hand as you collected company into a bigger board state. The main surprise of this deck is that it can play Siege Rhino, which can be crazy when you cast two+ and sac them to nantuko husk to bring them back with Rally. The amount of life drain from Siege Rhino this deck can present can just win games without having to combo out at all.
