Version 1.4 - - - 10/20/24


Attempt at budget-y five-color Ally tribal. Used to be very budget (~$60) but a few cards have crept up in price, and a few big cards were gifted to me. Definitely an aggro-ish deck with creatures turning sideways, but ETB value is a big part of it. I want the creature count high since it seems like the best way to actually trigger Ally ETBs. Blinking is nice, and I have some effects that do it, but I don't know if all blinking cards are better than another Ally.


I didn't include Conspiracy, Xenograft, or Arcane Adaptation because they'll only work with Turntimber Ranger. I don't want to include a bunch of tutors and non-allies and hope I draw one of the those enchantments.

I have a good amount of ramp and mana-fixing since it's a budget land-base. Also, 5-CMC generals have a tendency to get difficult to recast, so hopefully the extra ramp comes in handy. If I can get down the Sea Gate Loremaster it will be nice to have the extra mana too. I feel like this deck is always starved for mana.

A SL means it's a card I own. MP means it's a potential cut

Updates Add

I made a bunch of small swaps over the last two years that were never logged. I made a few swaps today as well.

Not sure what all the new cards are, but here's what I think they are:

Molten Echoes - Gideon, Ally of Zendikar - Open the Way - Vanquisher's Banner - Anguished Unmaking - Aura Shards - The World Tree - Dawn's Truce - Guardian Project

I thought I had a spare Door of Destinies but I think I put it in my Soldier deck The Salty Garrison (Soldier Tribal). I put in Vanquisher's Banner instead, which should be fine.
