Yeah it's better because you can choose how many Creatures you want to remove.
I am aware of it. Am just waiting to see if I crack one, rather than shell out for it.
I don't want both in my deck.
I am also aware that I could use Anguished Unmaking instead of Utter End, but at the moment I'm happy as it is.

I just reposted my 5 color ally deck. Maybe you can give me some feedback on it thanks.

Personally, coming from a guy who has a standard, modern, and an EDH ally deck(i used this to help with my EDH, thanks btw :D ), i would consider removing either Shared Animosity, Greypelt Hunter, Turntimber Ranger, or Vindicate from the deck for Blade of Selves. If youre playing multiplayer, Blade of Selves is beyond broken for allies.As for why those cards; Shared animosity---- creature has to be attacking to get the buff, and unless kor bladewhirl has trigged 1st strike or Resolute has given you double strike, your creature just gets strong, and may not survive the hit it receives.The 2 Ally creatures I suggested are because they dont do much for permenants other than themselves. Trample is nice on greypelt but for a 4 drop, hes ehh until he gets bigger.Vindicate ---- its a sorcery speed, so its only playable on your turn, and with the diversity of ally's i think you have better options among the creatures themselves for permanent removal, whether its artifact via tuk tuk, creature via Murasa, or artifact/enchantment via aura shards. Plus, you also run Utter End, which is basically a Vindicate at instant speed.
also, sorry fo0r the lack of card links, im a noob on Tapped Out and this is my 1st comment ever. TBH i only registered to give you my 2 cents on Blade of Selves, THATS HOW MUCH I THINK IT MATTERS!Best of luck with the deck, Ive loved playing with the 1 I made :D

I would also consider removing any of the 4 cards above for Rite of Replication as well, cause dem rally triggers yo'
June 22, 2016 7:15 p.m.
There is a lot of permanent hate in my meta.
If I'm going to play an Artifact or Enchantment it needs to provide a lot more benefit than either of those.
July 2, 2016 6:49 a.m.
I agree with the blade of selves I personally run in it my 5 color allies EDH deck and it's amazing. I've got my creature list down to best allies I could find. There are 93 allies in MTG and I think only picked like 28 that I loved. You can check my deck list out if you want to give me some feedback but the blade of selves is a must have.
July 2, 2016 11:50 a.m.
Weleios I've already added Blade of Selves.
Is it better than Captain's Claws?
July 3, 2016 6:11 a.m.
Tehlulz you do realise that Turntimber Ranger has an infinite combo when Conspiracy is on the field, don't you?
No way would I remove as it's been my main way of winning.
July 3, 2016 6:18 a.m.
I run both, because it is indeed sad if one of them gets destroyed, but with 2 you are still able to draw into the other. Obviously Captain's Claws is better in your early game or if you need to get out a fast trigger, but on the other hand side 3 copies of your Hagra Diabolist are enough to end the game for an opponent instantly. Also both of the cards won me the game. So I wouldn't want to choose between them.
July 3, 2016 6:26 a.m.
Rite of Replication and Zada, Hedron Grinder would do relatively the same thing though right?
Cast Rite of Replication on Zada, Hedron Grinder and you don't even have to kick it to go infinite. Unless my understanding of how Zada works isn't correct it works like this:
1) Cast RoR on Zada, 2) Zada's ability procs 3) Copies of him and all of your creatures are made4) Because his clone appeared first before RoR it would also apply to said clone. 5) Ad infinitum
July 3, 2016 6:26 a.m.
@KilraneYour understanding is correct, but you have to seee that you'll need all of these cards in hand, yes they are all fetchable, but RoR is the only card which is targeting Zada, otherwise he's usless and with that a dead card.
July 3, 2016 6:30 a.m.
I'm not putting Zada, Hedron Grinder in.
I played with it for a while and it was next to useless.
I would have to change so many other spells that I need to make it worthwhile.
I just don't kill anyone with stuff like Hagra Diabolist. My playgroup is very competitive.
Lots of removal, lots of counters.
July 3, 2016 6:54 a.m.
How about Call to the Kindred? It's basically a free creature every turn it's on the field.

After several times in a game where I wanted to tutor for it but didn't have it in the deck I added Cyclonic Rift to my Tazri deck. It's often times the most powerful card in a deck and worth running in any deck you can. At least that's what I've found. I would suggest possibly dropping Shared Animosity for it since, at least in my allies deck, it never seems like there's more than 3 maybe 4 allies swinging and that's at most.
July 3, 2016 7:14 p.m.
If you've got Shared Animosity on the field and three Allies attacking, that's an extra 9 points of damage.
If you've got four Allies attacking, that's an extra 16 points.
Both of those equations make a huge difference in my playgroup.
I don't like Call to the Kindred as Creatures don't last long in my meta.
Long enough to get four on the field, but they will get wiped soon.
July 4, 2016 2:46 a.m.
Hmm something like: Debtors' Knell or Primal Surge wouldn't be an option? Just pondering about your opinion :)
July 4, 2016 1:08 p.m.
Aless55 I have no more room to squeeze in cards unless they meet the criteria for this deck, set out in the Description.
July 4, 2016 1:13 p.m.
Yes I'am sorry, I posted my comment and the description changed after reloading the page;)
July 4, 2016 1:24 p.m.
i think defense of the heart would be better than gideon's phalanx and if you're going to use boros charm and avacyn than a Armageddon would be good. Also i used all the Clone effects possible to double the effects of the better allies.
July 4, 2016 2:11 p.m.
I considered Armageddon but the likely hood of having it plus Boros Charm or Avacyn, Angel of Hope in my hand is slim.
All that Clone does is bring another Ally into play. Playing an actual Ally does that anyway, PLUS bring in another effect.
I'll think about Defense of the Heart.
July 4, 2016 2:25 p.m.
Seems you forget that Clone or Clever Impersonator can copy opponent's creatures which could be extremely helpful and having options in EDH is one of the best bets to ensure you don't lose.
July 4, 2016 2:41 p.m.
You only talked about clones copying Allies.
Hence my response.
The suggestion is problematic in that I would have to take Creatures out to put some clones in.
I'm not taking out any Allies, as that would be counter productive.
If I copy a Non-Ally Creature an Opponent owns that is also counter productive to my strategy of getting as many Allies on the field as possible.

Along the lines of Ghostway, which you already have, you could play Eerie Interlude.
