You only have 10 (unless I missed some) non-Ally creatures, so you could get rid of Arcane Adaptation or Conspiracy. I know that they allow you to search your library for ANY creature if you name "Ally", but you could also use your other tutors for that.
Door of Destinies could be an option, depending on how fast your group plays. If it was an EtB trigger and not an on cast trigger, I think it would be a lot better (because of your flicker suite).
Also, is Amulet of Vigor in there for the lands and the Kor Ally tokens? If it is, I would suggest something more impactful (Mana Echoes?).
I would also suggest swapping Diabolic Tutor with Increasing Ambition. I prefer Ambition because of the flashback, but it (again) depends on the durdleness of your group.
Maybe add some stuff to use an infinite combo on? You can use Harabaz Druid with Deadeye Navigator and any haste provider to create infinite mana, then flicker Tazri until you get all your allies and cast them. Then use Sea Gate Loremaster to draw your deck. As long as you can either give your creatures trample or wipe your opponent's creatures (In Garruk's Wake, Kindred Dominance, etc) you probably win. I didn't check if you had Allies that give trample. And now that I think about it, you probably don't need that because all your creatures will be indestructible lifelinkers with evasion who have drained your opponents to death already.
Finally, and this is just my opinion, I strongly dislike the Vivid lands. I have never been happy to play one. I would recommend the Lair land cycle in it's place. They come in untapped, tap for three colours, and while they do bounce another land to your hand you can still get mana out of it first.
When you play, do you usually work towards a combat damage win or a combo win?

Epidilius I did not ask you to make multiple suggestions for this deck.
That is not at all helpful.
I asked for ONE suggestion of what to remove for Teferi's Protection. I have now decided that it will be Heroic Intervention.
Most of the stuff you mentioned has already been spoken about in the Comments eg. Arcane Adaptation and Conspiracy allow General Tazri to search for any Creature, and make an infinite combo with Turntimber Ranger and one other Ally.
However, my play group limits our decks to one infinite combo.
I am not going to respond to all of your Comments, as it would take too much time.

Yo I have a question, why have you constructed the mana base the way you have? Is it fast enough for your deck?
February 21, 2018 3:50 a.m.
It has proven fast enough, and has worked how I want it to.
You can run dual lands instead, to make it faster, but then you tend to be more colour screwed.

Indirect damage with Hagra Diabolist or combat damage with lots of Allies or Commander damage with General Taz

I recommend Panharmonicon and Yarok, the Desecrated to double up on your ETB for Hagra Diabolist . Other than cards that don't replace specific things, you should replace Gideon's Phalanx with Unified Front , If you want to add life drain I can give you some Ally oriented ideas.
July 27, 2021 12:43 p.m.
I need Gideon's Phalanx to protect my Allies.
What would I remove for those cards you suggested?
This deck needs two things - Allies, and stuff to protect Allies.
Any other type of suggestion won't be included.

Personally I would remove Bala Ged Thief and Beastcaller Savant because 1. While Bala Ged Thief is a good card, it doesn't really contribute to your wincons and 2. I would remove Beastcaller Savant because it has a very minimal effect on your board state as a whole(in other words I think that card slot would be used more effectively with a different card). I run a similar setup to you but with less lands without any mana issues if youre worried about that. Gideon's Phalanx is very expensive for the effect that it gives but I respect your choice. If anything you should probably swap Join the Ranks with Unified Front since it does the same thing but better, same with Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves . I'm not sure how much use you get out of Amulet of Vigor but it doesn't seem like it would have a big effect on this deck, maybe consider Darksteel Plate instead. Selfless Glyphweaver Flip could also be a really good choice for on demand indestructible, maybe replace Drana's Emissary .

No Allies will be removed from this deck because they trigger Rally, and assist to make General Tazri's activated ability more powerful.
I actually think the lands are on the light side, and won't remove any.
I will think about your other suggestions when I have more time.
July 27, 2021 11:24 p.m. Edited.
Join the Ranks and Unified Front do NOT do the same thing.
One is a Sorcery, one is an Instant.
The Instant can trigger Rally on an opponent's turn. The Sorcery cannot.
Therefore the Instant speed of Join the Ranks makes it better, for this deck.
Likewise, Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves have a significant difference. One gives Hexproof and one gives Shroud.
The owner of a permanent can't target something with Shroud, but they can if it has Hexproof.
That makes Swiftfoot Boots the better choice.
My guess is that you have forgotten that lands are permanents, which seems to happen a LOT when people give deck suggestions.
Amulet of Vigor is absolutely amazing in this deck, because it makes all the tri lands come in untapped, and raring to go.
The one suggestion you made that was helpful was Selfless Glyphweaver Flip and I will insert that instead of Coalition Relic
Thanks for mentioning it.

Hey man,
love this deck and I love allies. I know this comment is really late to the party, but I found a card that might work well in the deck. [Conjurer’s Closet]. I dont know what exactly it would swap with but I think it pretty cool that you can tutor with tazri every turn
December 21, 2021 3:18 p.m.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it.
If it's OK with you I'd prefer not to be called "man", as I am not male.
How about calling me something like "friend", instead?

Yeah I did have a read of the Oracle text once the card was mentioned.
What would I remove for it?
That is always my biggest problem with EDH decks.
With Standard I have absolutely NO problem knowing what to swap, but I don't build in this format very often.
I would also love to stick Heroic Intervention in this deck, but am have trouble knowing what to remove for that card, too.
