Why 90 and 70? What's wrong with 60?

i agree with moeba. 60 seems more reasonable.

the reason i want more cards is because its for a 10 player game and i dont wanna mill my own deck if it goes for a while sorry

I ran a Bant Allies which I can pretty much guarantee that you will probably not mill yourself even in a 10 player game as long as they don't run board sweepers. Basically come turn 10ish you can be swinging for 40 unblockable and have around 400 life to take any backswings.

i dont really have the cards to run a bant deck lol. i really only have the :manag: :manar: and some :manaw: allies hence the colours. im pretty new to the game and dont have too many cards

but i would really like to know what cards can give you 400 life by turn 10?

Ondu Cleric, and a Sea Gate Loremaster. It will take like 3 games and your friends will realize they can't underestimate him. I took it to FNM and came 2nd of 26 people going 3-0-1 people just didn't see him being all that good then it was "I play hada freeblade and gain 20 life, tap Sea Gate Loremaster and draw 10, play ondu cleric and gain 30, play shapeshifter on the freeblade and gain 33 and pass the turn"

Just remember: you don't need more than sixty cards ever. Yes, ten-player games last forever, but all you need is elixer of immortality and you'll never mill yourself (if you're really that worried about it).

ok so some ideas for a naya allies 60 card deck. im starting with oran rief survivalists and hada freeblade. also i have turntimber ranger and a couple kazzul warlords so thats kinda the deck standard im really wondering which spells to add in?

Allies makes for a good aggro deck but is probably not a good deck in multiplayer. And even if you want to make it that you are missing out on 2 of the best multiplayer colors, blue and black. Black because you need reccursion (4xPatriarch Bidding, 4xLiving Death) and blue because you need to refill your hand after board sweeps (tidings, concentrate, ...)

Lol, which multiplayer game doesn't run boardsweep??? In my group the board is reset once about every 2 turns.

For spells you cannot do better than splinter twin, and join the ranks in an ally deck. Also you will probably want to add in a few harabaz druids, kazandu blademasters, kabira evangels, joraga bards, and at least two highland berserkers (His first strike ability is underestimated until coupled with splinter twin). If your not worried about which format your playing in (or the price) soul foundry and doubling season are perfect additions to any naya ally deck. On a similar note Mayeal's Aria is a great card to have in a naya ally deck.

Well we usually have 2 or three people running board sweeps if we do a multiplayer game but bant is really good for recovering from a board sweep via sea gate loremaster, and usually we know what everyone at the table is playing so board sweeps usually get countered or we'll take the person out of the game before they manage to get one off.

I have a GR Ally deck in the process. I love it, and I came in 2nd this week at FNM with it. You could easily splash white, but I do extremely well with just GR. If you want the Life Gain aspect then splash White, but otherwise I would keep just Green and Red. Here is the link, but read the description and comments to figure out what I've changed.

I wish you luck, Allies make great decks!

http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=90090 see if my allies deck is any good for you. It should stand a very good chance unless you find someone who has channel fireball or the hulk protean combo lol
