The Commander
When General Tazri enters, you may search your library for an Ally creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
: Ally creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of colors among those creatures.
Guide
Gameplan
Lead a tribal Allies army that snowballs through enter-the-battlefield triggers, then close games with Tazri's five-color anthem pump. You tutor a key Ally on cast, flood the board with rally synergies, and either go wide or assemble a five-color combo. The deck plays as either a creature-based midrange aggro deck or, more powerfully, a WUBRG combo shell that uses Tazri to find a single combo piece.
Strengths
Weaknesses
- Board wipes are devastating to a creature-centric Ally strategy
- Five-color manabase is expensive and prone to color-screw without fixing
- Anthem ability costs all five colors and is mana-intensive to fire repeatedly
- Many Ally payoffs are individually weak and rely on critical mass
Key Cards
- Hada Freeblade — A cheap Ally that grows with every other Ally entering, anchoring the rally plan.
- Kazandu Blademaster — Doubles up rally triggers and provides an evasive, growing threat.
- Halimar Excavator — With Tazri tutoring it and enough Allies, it forms a mill/win engine off rally triggers.
- Hero of Goma Fada — Protects your whole Ally team from board wipes by granting indestructible.
- Munda, Ambassador of Vryn — Refills your hand with Allies on attack, keeping the army resilient.
Upgrade Path
Tighten the manabase with fetchlands, shocks, and Original Duals plus fixing like Chromatic Lantern and Prismatic Omen to reliably cast Tazri and fire her ability. Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Jeweled Lotus) and protection (Heroic Intervention, Hero of Goma Fada) so a single wrath doesn't end the game. To push toward higher power, lean into the Halimar Excavator combo with blink/flicker effects and reanimation to recur Allies for repeatable rally triggers.
