Thanks Theo2907, Ondu Cleric is an awesome card and I'd love to run it, but I want to keep this 'standard legal' for Friday night magic at my local shop. Still, casual play, your deck has an awesome combo and good cards.

P.S. If you wanna reference Decks, cards or another user, you can put it in brackets. [=[29-02-16-ally-deck]=] and itll post as a link Ally deck, Just remove the "="

Honestly, I'd cut Red. I don't really think you need Nahiri. You're not dependent on any single large creature, do her ultimate isn't that appealing. The exile is nice, but her card draw is something you can get elsewhere without the splash.

Plus, if you really want to run 1x of Resolute Blademaster you could probably do that just fine with 4 Ally Encampments.

I also wouldn't run Demonic Pact. I love the card, but you only have one avenue to get rid of it and I don't think she's worth keeping around without any significant changes. And with only 2 Nahiris, you wouldn't even be very likely to have one out or in hand before it would kill you.

Forgot to put in the description, demonic pact is a placeholder for Triskaidekaphobia. (Now that it's in the database, I'll swap them). This deck constantly cuts about 7-13 life from the opponent, very quickly, in mostly direct damage. triskaidekaphobia and resolute blademaster are effectively trump cards to finish the game shortly after they're drawn. I don't disagree that I can probably get away with just ally encampment, but sooner or later I'd play a game with resolute in the opening hand and no ally encampment the whole game. I strongly believe in having more than enough mana for a splash, and it hasn't caused any draw backs yet.

As for Nahiri, her number could go up or down. So far, from play testing with proxys at home, Sorin's been too expensive to cast every time, or I've had a better option than dedicating 6 mana to him, so he's seeming less useful in this deck. Nahiri, being a 4 drop, is extremely appetizing. Do you have suggestions on where else in BWR I can get consistent card draw? I'm ok with it taking my life or causing discard, but couldn't afford to sac for it.

How about Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip? It would help with Westvale Abbey possibly.

Delta-117, I might try swapping him in, looks doable. At least for field control. Thanks for the suggestion

Drop the thirteen health thing and the sword. Move the languish to side board and get you some Anguished Unmakings in and maybe some Declaration in Stones or Stasis Snares and I reccomend side boarding Infinite Obliterations. I run something similar @ Sorin, Gideon, Avacyn, Drana Love Circle I'd you'd like to check it out. +1 for +1?Thanks =)
