I have many Allies in this comment section but few come close to the Glorious Lobster Emperor. Shout out to him and his Neverending quest for The Top 10 Cards in Vintage (Minus the Power 9)!
Allies are a cool concept, but I am a bit biased because one of my favorite tropes in fiction is the greater threat team up, so a whole creature type basically dedicated to that I find to be really cool. Great video as always!
I couldn't even name a single ally in MTG if you asked me, but apparently there's at least 10? What can I say, my life is full of constant adversity and assassin chefs trying to hunt me down. The only thing that can save me is "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" please come quick they have the butter!
What? No Kazandu blademaster? That card is my favourite ally, and one of my favourite cards of all times. He is so good that he warped many of my decks to become partly ally decks: He is a soldier, so fits well in soldier tribal decks, he is a human, so he fits in human decks, he uses +1/+1 counters so can fit counter based decks, and he has two white pips so he fits in mono-white aggro decks too. And where ever he went, Hada freeblade followed, and at that point it was easier and easier to fit more and more allies in, since the more allies you got the better they got.
She's been reprinted in a lot of Commander precons. Plus, she never became the format-defining all star we all thought she would during BFZ preview season. I tried making a B/W Allies deck for Standard right after BFZ released. Even with Gideon topping the curve, it didn't do very well.
i believe Hada Freeblade alongside with some other cards were, for a time, technically banned in Pauper (on MTGO) due to odd happenstances with their rarity
I loved my Ally deck when Zendikar and Worldwake came out. Tezerett decks were popular and they would scoop when my Tuk Tuk Scrapper would come out. Genesis Wave helped that deck a lot until it rolled out of Standard.
I remember zulaport cutthroat being part of a combo deck in standard with eldrazi displacer and brood monitor, don't know if it ever earned any points though
Betting before I watch that at least 2 of the top 5 don’t care about Allies, or even have Ally in the rules text. Edit: Result: I should have bet higher. I’d argue that none of the top 4 care that they’re Allies.
@@NizzahonMagic Yeah. There's, what, around 50 of them? You theoretically COULD make a list, but it wouldn't really tell you much, as I assume they generally don't see enough play to place them in any sort of significant hierarchy. Here's hoping they print more soon!
No green ally that adds mana, blu merfolk that draws, black tha resurrect from opponent's graveyard or white that gives s +1/+1 to your whole board? I'm impressed Also, what about top 10 Slivers or creature with Defender? Or just continuing some juicy list like top 11-20 equipments?
@@ApexZer0 there already exists what I mentioned! But yes, the dynamic of "depending of the numerosity, somehow, of the type T" is nice XD a bit easy to build, but nice nonetheless! They just need a bit more ramp
I shouldn't be surprised that most of the allies which have seen play aren't ones with ally specific abilities but I do find it kinda funny.

And shoutouts to you and Teeka's Dragon! Much love from the land down under!
If only there was a creature with the Ally type that counted as a dragon, perhaps also artifact with flying and rampage 4...
Here here!
@@ROMANTIKILLER2 If it doesn't also have trample, that creature is no ally of mine.
4:38 Tuktuk Scrapper deal damage equal to the number of Allies you control not for the mana value of the artifact!
Love this Goblin

They were a major creature type in Zendikar.
@@raynmanshorts9275 The only creature type from Zendikar I register are the mighty Eldrazi.
Top ten basic lands!
Celebrating Pride Month a bit early
Or late
What? No Kazandu blademaster?

Drana used to be very non budget glad to see it's more affordable

4:46 mistake there
Oops, yep. It deals damage equal to the number of Allies you control, not the artifact's mana value.
Love the videos, still slowly making my way through the back catalog.
Thank you for your continued effort with the videos! :)
Drana is so gooooooood, I've been crushing pioneer w it lately as well as doing cool things in modern w new ob
I loved playing Allies in multiplayer 60 card.
Its still my favourite commander deck. i started playing in the original zendikar so its a little nostalgic for me.
2:19 Planeswalker "Jace-tice League"?

I just realized one of the reasons Gideon's so good- there's currently no way to remove emblems. An Anthem you can blow up.
Shout out to Munda ambush leader!!!
Tutor him to start snowballing into more allies once set up!! ❤️
Sylvan Advocate?
Edit:
I forgot he was an ally in attack mode.
When my friends talk about a janky commander deck idea, I ask them can it beat Allies?
Kick ass hat brotha!🎉
Still hoping for a top 10 Kavu episode, but not really expecting it to happen.
Gonna need some more kavu first

this is my best friend gideon, and he's an ally. TALK, gideon!
"ALLY! : )"
This is the first time I've guessed a non- number 1 spot perfectly!
Yay Cutthroat
I’m realizing that this might have been a cool video to save for pride month 😂
Allies are my pet tribe. I still play boros allies in modern, even if I get rolled by MH2.
I wish they printed more allies. Or downshifted some uncommon ones
Redo of top ten knights?
Maybe Mercenaries and Rebels will be next (tho I'll be surprised if mercenaries have 10 or more)
I'm surprised they never do a plane with significant Dwarf or Mercenary tribes.
Top ten basic lands next
Wow, I'm commenting only 40 seconds after the upload!
0:36 "...and Allies came out on top." Wait, is this channel for M:tG or Kards?
Mmh i See three cards with with the ability,when this Card or an Ally enters the Battlefield,
Can we call this an failed mechanic?
Top 10 cards that didn't get any points during their time in standard
No green ally that adds mana, blu merfolk that draws, black tha resurrect from opponent's graveyard or white that gives s +1/+1 to your whole board? I'm impressed
Also, what about top 10 Slivers or creature with Defender?
Or just continuing some juicy list like top 11-20 equipments?
I would enjoy seeing extentions to the list
@@ApexZer0 there already exists what I mentioned! But yes, the dynamic of "depending of the numerosity, somehow, of the type T" is nice XD a bit easy to build, but nice nonetheless!
They just need a bit more ramp
Shame no Captain's Claws. Breddy decent equipment but I can see how it isn't very competitive.
Wooo
Tuktuk wa misread
Hedron Crab is my ally

1:34 Intro Skip
Oh good, the Stephen Colbert Meanwhile intro skippers are starting to migrate. Because UA-cam needs more people complaining about literally nothing.
@@davidlundquist1979 Ummmmmm...What exactly are you complaining about? Thanks for the laugh!!
