Naya Allies Deck (1st Place Out of 60 Players)
March 30, 2010 | Posted by Dee
I know I just wrote about allies in my last post, but I think I found a better ally decklist. Last week, on March 23, a Naya Allies deck won a Magic Online Standard Premier Event. The event was six rounds. The deck went 5-1 in the swiss and then swept the top eight. In the elimination rounds, it beat a Red Deck Wins, UW Ramp Control, and Jund to take home the top prize. Not bad for a rogue deck, taking out three top archetypes in a row.
Another player took the same exact list and got 5th place yesterday in a 57 person tournament. This player also went 5-1 in the swiss rounds.
Based on these results, this deck seems pretty good.

When Worldwake was released, I wondered if allies could be a viable contender in Standard. I’m a big fan of rogue decks and Worldwake had new allies that seemed powerful enough to make the archetype good.
For example, Hada Freeblade is an aggressive one-drop that gives the deck explosive starts. Harabaz Druid provides mana acceleration and fixing. Acceleration allows you to play multiple two-drops or a four-drop on turn three and fixing helps a lot if you want to play more than two colors.
I searched through the MTGO tournament results and I was happy to find a couple ally decks doing well.
Here is one of them, a green/white/black decklist, that features Bala Gad Thief. This list went 3-1 in a Standard Daily on March 16.

Gerry Thompson is on a roll building new winning decks. He broke the Extended format with Thopter Depths and now he has a sweet new list for Standard.
Dubbed “Koros” by the ggslive viewers, his Boros Bushwhacker update with Kor creatures, Stoneforge Mystic, and equipment took him to a top 8 finish at a 5k tournament with over 230 players.
Gerry wrote about the deck and his tournament experience here. Here is the decklist.
