A Selesyna Rally deck using Emrakul's Evangel and Westvale Abbey   as the sac outlets and Wayward Disciple   for the Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat effect therefore avoiding the need for Black.

Win cons are Ormendahl, Profane Prince  , life loss from Wayward Disciple   and 3/2 Eldrazi Horrors created by Emrakul's Evangel .

Ideal play:

1. Have Emrakul's Evangel , Pious Evangel   and Thraben Inspector in your graveyard from chump blocking or sacrificing
2. At the end of your opponent's turn cast Rally the Ancestors where X is 3
3. Pious Evangel   's ability triggers gaining you one life for each Creature brought back
4. Thraben Inspector's Investigate ability triggers creating a Clue
5. Next upkeep, in response to Rally's delayed upkeep-triggered exile effect, sacrifice a Clue and pay 2 to transform Pious Evangel   into Wayward Disciple  
6. Hold priority after Pious Evangel   's ability resolves
7. In response to Rally's delayed upkeep-triggered exile effect, activate Emrakul's Evangel 's ability; sacrificing all of your Creatures and replacing them with 3/2 Eldrazi horror tokens
8. Wayward Disciple   drains target opponent for each Creature sacrificed this way including itself
9. Rally's upkeep exile effect resolves but the Creatures it brought back are no longer on the battlefield and so are not exiled.

I considered self-mill in the form of Satyr Wayfinder in order to dig towards Rally the Ancestors and get Creatures in the yard but I couldn't find copies 4-8. Instead 13 Creatures draw a card on ETB which means I can usually hit a copy of Rally the Ancestors pretty quickly.

I am entirely unsure on the land-base, land-number and sideboard and would appreciate advice in this area.
