[@myrandomnerdymind5853]

Never clicked on one of your deck techs so hard in my life. Been wanting to build this for months

[@yugiy4964]

I have one that isnt budget, but also isnt crazy expensive. Its a super fun deck. I actually took it to a tournament thinking i would get slapped and went 8-0 in two five player pods. The second game i dodged 2 boardwipes with Eerie Interlude and Hero of Goma Fada

[@yugiy4964]

@Erik Appelsap yep. Tazri is tier 1 for a reason. You can make her strong without going infinite, but i run two combos in the deck as a failsafe.

[@SoundScienceMediaWorks]

This tribe has some of the best art of any tribe as a whole. So much amazing work here . Chasm guide is spectacular. Timber rangers , Tajuru war caller has so much action . Maybe it’s the DND vibes but the aesthetic is so awesome .

[@donaldbarrett4073]

3 years later, there's incredible budget includes that are crazy upgrades for this deck. I'm going to be building mine with Nahiri's Resolve, which can blink as many of your creatures as you want until your next upkeep, every one of your turns, and gives all of your creatures +1/+0 and haste, all for 3RW as an enchantment that costs less than a dollar. Molten Echoes is also an insane red 4 mana echantment that usually is 50% more powerful than Panharmonicon since you get a 2nd Ally whenever you play an ally, it's basically 3 triggers for every 1 ally you play.

[@rattledskull9999]

Me: *reads title* My brain: General Tarzan

[@raydelmartinez2905]

So Allies are similar to Slivers, awesome deck tech.

[@grandlass]

This is my favourite deck ever. Seeing Tazri in this channel makes me so Happy! You're the first channel i send my friends when they ask me where to start with commander. Keep up the Pace!

[@TherokA]

You put so much work into every single video!! I am so glad I found this channel and rekindled my love for MTG, THANK YOU!

[@klawkarver]

Yay been waiting on another tech.

[@shawnluehrs2426]

This seems very powerful. The three main weaknesses I see are 1. Color fixing; No matter what efforts you make to get WUBRG, there’s some games where you fail to get the right colors. 2. Targeted Removal; I would probably include more spells like Swords to Plowshares to take care of other threats, but I suppose those numbers are based on opinion. Also that example is probably a bit expensive. 3. Triggers; I would miss them. My problem, not yours. Fantastic deck tech! I look forward to building it sometime!

[@lukenzur1667]

The best Ally build ive seen so far - been wanting to make an ally deck and boom, here we go! Thanks!!

[@rdirizarry1]

Tazri’s one of my favorite decks to play. A few great cards for the deck: Progenitor Mimic Mirror Entity Call to the Kindred Descendent’s Path

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

"Shared Animosity" is great too, if you have it :) but it's 8 bucks so.. not an option for Mitch.

[@rdirizarry1]

Kindred Charge and Kindred Summons are great too.

[@jacobc6864]

Yeah this channel is the only reason I got into playing Commander. The Jodah deck was my very first Commander deck.

[@HorribleGamr]

I just started playing Commander and found a Tazri at a local toy store in a box of commons. I built a deck around him but this should help out a ton.

[@mark1A100]

Tazris a women

[@mark1A100]

Hope you hav had fun with her. I always stay away from the 5 colors

[@runeserpent1449]

didnt even realize zada was a ally

[@alijups6537]

great video, i have a ally deck too. I would add Tajuru Archer (against flyer), Guardian Project (nice carddraw with blinkeffects), Quasiduplicate (2 more allys with only 1 card) and if u play brago u can play Arcane Adaptation. u can tutor for brago and you get infitity etb with Turntimber Ranger.

[@harutakami1313]

it's only a two-card combo, but given that Tazri can search the other half, it's not that bad. Arcane Adaptation turns all your creatures (even those in your deck) into a chosen type (ally) meaning that the 2/2 wolves created whenever an ally enters will *also* be allys and create more 2/2 wolf allys

[@Pokecraft6446]

Or xenograft. I won several games in my group in five or six turns with that combo because I have some other tutor cards in there. So I decided to take Xenograft out so I could actually play my Ally tribal deck.

[@Starcraftgamer97]

I love that I just found this but the only question I have is that would they enter as Ally's or do they become Ally's after entering as a non-Ally creature? I only wonder this because I struggle with the way triggers and abilities can layer on top of each other at times.

[@harutakami1313]

@@Starcraftgamer97 They enter as allies, as Arcane Adaptation states "creatures you control are the chosen type in addition". the creature type is applied as it enters.

[@brendan8114]

also yarok could be an upgrade, might nit be an ally but it does double all rally effects

[@lucasgavatriches6476]

Tazri was my first commander. I build It similar to your upgraded list. This deck can win games out of nowhere.

[@TheRealBLackMage1]

i was waiting for this! tazri is my favorite commander but i always have problems with the tribe. THANK YOU!

[@VampiricTyrant]

I've scoffed and dismissed Allies since opening packs of Zendikar. Now I'm searching through my collection looking for Ally cards. Ally tribal, here I come!

[@BlueInkAlchemy]

It's way outside of budget, but I can't look at this deck without considering Venser, the Sojourner. His +2 blinks any of our Allies, and his -1 makes our army unblockable. Plus, he's one my favorite characters!

[@brandonstracener5076]

Do you think that card would be worth including in a 60-card, $60 budget version of this deck (think Brawl, adhering to the Brawl and Commander banlists, but not limiting cards to the Standard rotation).

[@mdchiesi]

Nice. I have a friend who has a first sliver deck and told me that allies can be like that. I definitely see that! Still pretty cheap too!

[@monty125874693]

As someone who plays Allies in modern And loves Zendikar I’m totally building this

[@Bigpapadada01]

My man. I love the deck to bits and I was hyped when I saw that we are going back to zendikar next year

[@Foxribble19]

Thanks for the awesome deck tech Mitch.👍

[@patrickhennessey7129]

I love general tazri. Ally tribal is a great way to build a five color deck. I would absolutely play this and throw in the upgrades I already have.

[@drexterrose]

I'm so glad I came across your channel

[@alanbrito4139]

Loved the tech, Mitch! Anytime soon well hear about Close Quarters? So many teases and intro the players but no video!

[@concon0001]

Solid work, another excellent deck.

[@stephenklien]

I started playing Magic with BFZ block, so I have so many of these cards already... I think I'm in love.

[@CostaColares]

Hey Mitch, now that Xancha's rules changed, have you thought of revisiting her list for a video?

[@stephenthorpe1422]

Birthing Boughs works quite well as an alternative to blinking. 4 and tap gets you a 2/2 shapeshifter with changeling (ally) so can trigger your ETB effects repeatedly.

[@theradiance256]

Never did I think that Mirror March would see play in anything, but now I'm happy it is.

[@erickvanpatten673]

As always, excelent content! Love it :D

[@MrVotiga]

Ally tribal with Tazri is a lot of fun. I've had that deck for years

[@jamessmith5256]

I also run the gates as a wincon, another good one is arcane adaptation goes infinite with turntimber ranger. AA makes cards like soul herder or deadeye get ally bonuses as well.

[@andrewberesford4055]

Always glad to see a new Sliver- I mean Ally deck.

[@warrioraidan]

Arcane Adaptation and Turntimber Ranger with some key Ally condition cards instant wins on wolf tokens alone. Even if you give them nothing but haste you win because you make as many is needed to kill them going around the blockers.

[@lucasgavatriches6476]

You can combo this with halimar excavator, hadra diabolist or kalestria healer.

[@lucasgavatriches6476]

Xenograft can be used in this combo as well

[@warrioraidan]

@@lucasgavatriches6476 yeah, I was going for the budget option and Arcane Adaptation allows Tazri to search anything out of you deck. It turns all the cards in you library into Ally creature types.

[@Kuronosa]

Aw...no Turntimber Ranger Combo? You just need one of those cards that can turn ALL your creatures into Allys, one of your Allys that do something fun when another ally ETBs (like the one that drains an opponent for the number of Allys your have), Turntimber Ranger, and one more Ally to play... That Ally ETBs, triggers both Ranger and the other Ally, whether it's Excavator or Diabolist, and they both do their thing....and then the Wolf token ETBs....which is now a Wolf Ally due to the card that changes/adds the Ally type...so that triggers both the Ranger and the other Allys again....which in turn puts another Wolf Ally into play, and the triggers continue...and since Turntimber's ability is a MAY, you aren't stuck in a board state that never ends....however convoluted this train is....

[@jeremywittenberg4486]

I love ally decks so much lol Had one for standard where I ended the game with almost 500 hp because of ondu cleric

[@WaifuDiddler]

Ty for clarification

[@ong5589]

Finally, an Ally deck after so long.

[@tonivalilehto8651]

Most underrated channel on youtube

[@Lollix87]

Awesome!

[@Havok.93]

New Kaldheim card Mystic Reflection is massive in this deck!

[@poisonedcoco691]

Hey mitch, great deck as always, you forgot to add in arcane adaptation though D: it infinite combos with turntimber ranger to make infinite wolf allies! Very good especially with the 2 dudes that just drain people for their rally effects.

[@spurcalluth6300]

Would Arcane Adaptation work with Turntimber Ranger? It looks like it gives you an infinite combo that you can't stop, thereby ending the game in a draw.

[@devinjones2678]

Only addition I would add that you didnt say would be kindred Summonings. It can double your board permanently and just win you the game then and there

[@trevorconway262]

I would also have put in all the guild gates and mazes end as an alternate win con.

[@aidan4530]

hey im new, can u explain that win con?

[@InductedOrpheus]

@@aidan4530 Maze's End is a land that has you win if you have 10 gate lands I believe. It's a meme but it would surprisingly fit well into this deck I think

[@seanmurphy3430]

I love building tribal decks on a budget. With a few prominent exceptions like Elves, most tribal synergy cards are dirt cheap because they're only used for this one, often not very popular deck type. On a related note, could you do a deck tech for Morophon the Boundless? I'm always curious to see what kinds of weird tribes you can build with Morophon. P.S. Now that I'm thinking about it, Morophon would be a pretty good addition to the 99 of this deck; the mana fixing is relevant in 5 colors, and reduced costs means more creatures can hit the battlefield each turn.

[@seanmurphy3430]

P.P.S. This deck is really cool. It actually reminds me a lot of slivers, with all of your creatures synergizing with one another and their effects compounding the more of them you have.

[@proteus404]

Turntimber Ranger works well with Arcane Adaptation

[@olafthemoose9413]

Eldrazi displaicer would be an utter flavor fail, but still a good option

[@SoundScienceMediaWorks]

Olaf The Moose I mean.. Maybe some ally somewhere raised that little baby eldrazi since it was just a little evil ass tadpole and now it sympathizes with the allies like Dart did in stranger things . I would be willing to suspend my disbelief for the ability lol

[@aaronhooker7588]

@@SoundScienceMediaWorks yes

[@bryanthomas1382]

Hey Mitch, I don't know if you take suggestions for commanders, but have you thought of doing a deck tech on Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni? I just started building a deck around her myself using a mill/Voltron strategy, and I think she's super fun to use.

[@Belteshazzar_Antalan]

I wish I've never sold my 120+ card Ally Deck

[@alanbrito4139]

Disqualified: illegal EDH deck.

[@DasJarHead]

They never said it was commander to be fair.

[@Belteshazzar_Antalan]

@@DasJarHead yep, it was a modern with singles of commander cards and few copies of some allies.

[@mharmon6467]

ARCANE ADAPTATION! NEEDED FOR ALL TRIBAL DECKS at least ones that run blue.

[@xROUTE36x]

A big brain I do in this is play arcane adaptation. You can play a chancellor of the forge and just go to value town

[@corrosivecabal]

Blink with a little cloning thrown in... Makes me wonder what all a Helm of the Host and Progenitor Mimic could do in this deck.

[@DrPlant-fg9yn]

Yarok would be a good add too

[@sgt345]

I love the deck tech. It's just the talking speed is so fast, I have trouble understanding what is said. I actually double checked my playback speed to see if it was set to normal 😄

[@dugtrious518]

ooooo budget tazri

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

this is great, I've been wanting a 5 colour commander for a while, but I wasn't sure which one to go for, Reaper king looks fun too. But since I already own some of these Allies, I might build this. vy the way, where is "Shared Animosity" in the reasonable upgrades? it's 8 $ so it should really be there :) I use it in all my tribal decks that play red, so it goes in here too. I do own "Veteran Warleader", not sure if it would be good here or not. it's an ally for 1GW and it says "Veteran Warleader's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control. Tap another untapped Ally you control: Veteran Warleader gains your choice of first strike, vigilance, or trample until end of turn.", so with a lot of allies, this creature gets huge, but not sure it's worth it, there is also "Stoneforge Masterwork" which is an equipment that gives equipted creature +1/+1 for each other creature that shares a creature type with it. This could make General tazri huge and she can swing in and kill someone in 1 hit.

[@noahgrobben2830]

Nice

[@yugiy4964]

I'm super bummed you didn't include Mirrorweave. It can be used so flexibly in this deck and I've never seent it used more efficiently. You can stop incoming damage by uaong it to turn your opponents creatures into Harabaz Druid, or win the game by making everything Hagra Diabolist and dropping any creature.

[@kylesanderfer856]

Can you please consider doing a Lyra Dawnbringer angel tribal deck? I’ve wanted to build her for a while because angels are super cool but a lot of the good angels are very expensive. Thanks for the video by the way!

[@ANGRYFACE118]

What if I wanted to add Drana and Gideon to the deck? What would I have to remove?

[@darylchiu9030]

The best part about Tazri is that the tribal components doesn't empty your wallet. The only expensive components would be the landbase and the combo pieces such as Food Chain but that combo gets very old, fast.

[@Nobody-zl3kk]

Just because "why not" i would add kindred dominace and kindred summons

[@Metroidhunter13]

Hey Mitch, i dont know if youve done a Temur Deck tech yet, think youre up to the challenge?

[@sandfire-768]

[@tingytongles8466]

Could you do Sheoldred The Whispering One commander deck?

[@dnguyen781]

so million dollar question. lets say you decide to rite of replicate zada with the kicker. due to zada's effect it makes a copy to each other creature you control. would the kicked rite of replicate effect apply to all other creatures you control?

[@xROUTE36x]

Yes. The rite of replication would copy every other creature you control.

[@WaifuDiddler]

I thought u can I only have cards in you deck that share the color of your commander

[@PandoraSystem]

Not their color, their 'color identity'. Color identity includes the colors of mana symbols in the commander's text box. Tazri has an activated ability that costs all colors, so her color identity is all colors.

[@patrickcarroll9118]
