Human / Ally Tribe decked out with Equipment.

Both the Humans and Allies in this Tribe are important.

Along with the Equipment, they weave together parts that might seem very weak, and combine them into a deck with an amazing amount of strength and flexibility.

Add loads of removal to the mix and you have yourself a while lotta trouble for the Opposition.

Key Ideas

• Humans buff each other.
• First Strike in early Creatures gives tempo advantage.
• Equipment gives further buffs, even if not attached to a Creature.
• Lots of removal to clear Opponent threats out of the way.

How to Play

Early Game

• Try to start with some removal in your opening hand, and at least one 2 drop Creature
• You don't need Equipment in your opening hand as it will have time to drop into it later
• Destroy / Exile early Creatures played by your Opponent
• Play a Creature if it seems that you have a clear opportunity to make it stick, eg. Opponent all tapped out, mana screwed, or colour screwed
• First Strike Creatures work well at this point of the game because they can kill early threats without having to trade

Mid Game

• Play Thalia, Heretic Cathar as soon as you can, to slow down your Opponent and utilise her First Strike
• Start to play Equipment and Creatures
• Check for the most value at the start of each Main Phase that you can get by attaching Equipment to Creatures
• Check the above point a LOT, as there are loads of hidden buffs that can be gained from Weapons Trainer, Stone Haven Outfitter, True-Faith Censer, and Stoneforge Masterwork
• Remember that when a Kor Ally enters the field it can immediately be equipped with Stormrider Rig
• Start attacking
• Continue to play cards to remove blockers

Late Game

• Don't forget that if an equipped Creature dies while Stone Haven Outfitter is on the field you will get to draw a card
• You can exploit the draw ability mentioned above by equipping a Kor Ally then deliberately killing it by using it as a blocker
• Start to really push damage through by hitting hard with Creatures who by now should be as large as 8/6
• Use First Strike to win face offs with Opponent Creatures
• Turn Needle Spires into a Creature when you can and equip it if that will provide benefit
• Note that Equipment will fall off Needle Spires as soon as it ceases to be a Creature
• Look for a chance to finish the game quickly with Burn from Within

Enjoy your bloody self !
