Ally Trigger based deck for Pauper, by Kirill Pivtorak.
Main tactic for the deck is to go vide with Ally creatures.Your priority drops:-
Bojuka Brigand
highest priority coz it can increase in P/T really quick.- Kalastria Healer as soon it will be on the battlefield, more damage it will deal and gain life for you as well.- Ondu Cleric can increase your life total to 60-90 value in a 4-5 turns, so pretty important card for deck, but quite fragile.
Synergies:Ondu War Cleric
+
Vampire Envoy
got not only 2 quite effective creatures in block but also a good synergy for 3 points of life gain each turn.Makindi Patrol
+
Zulaport Chainmage
both creatures got great stats in scope of cost.In case of this particular synergy you can be quite aggressive with this two cards on the battlefield and entering Allies. Overall Makindi Patrol makes all your synergies even better.
Sideboard Plan:
Boros/Jeskai Kitty
-2 Night's Whisper, +2
Shrivel
. Be ready it will be long fight, due to your life gain and theirs control/board spread. In the end you will be winner, due to they mill them self and/or you get valuable creature trades + triggers.

Tips
1) Don't afraid to loose/trade your creatures, you are not reanimation deck, but still have 7 return spells. And as you remember most of the cards with 'enter the battlefield' effects, so opponent helps you.2) Play on the curve and don't be afraid to tap out.3) Go vide but preserve unnecessary drops on both creatures/lands. We play Black and this deck can look like a control deck and opponent will play more carefully.4) Sometimes it's better to take some big damage instead of trade your creatures.
