I'm thinking about building an Allies deck. I was thinking black+red+green, since it seems to have all the bases covered. Removal (Pyromancer), control (Thief) and early beef (Survivalist). BRG has enough to fill in the gaps between those key points - Archer, Sell-Sword, Berserker and Grunts all round the army out at various price points. Diabolist is a backup Pyromancer in the endgame, while Warlord can pile the pressure on, especially with pumpers like Survivalist.

Raptor and Cleric are great but the other allies in those colours don't do much, except for Blademaster who's far too colour-intensive to play in a tri- or quad-colour deck.

Obviously this isn't going to be a tier-one deck (having the same colours as Jund, the #1 deck in Magic right now, makes that obvious) but I reckon it could be fun.

I disagree -- I really like Bant Allies (GUW). You run Survivalist, Blademaster, Cleric/Evangel, Falcon, and Loremaster for an injection of gas, and then clobber with Turntimber Ranger to finish. In addition, you get to run Bant Charm, Vines of Vastwood/Hindering Light, Path to Exile, etc.

Interesting. BRG does lack evasion, but it works on the principle that if it's standing in your way, you really ought to be killing it for practice. I might give that version a spin when I get around to building something.

I actually run 4 color allies right now and it does well. (I cut blue)

The two best 3-color structures to build allies on is bant and naya.

Bant allies have the raptor as evasion and sea gate loremaster so several players I know swear by. It has access to decent removal via the white and can run baneslayer if necisary.

However the better of the two I believe is the naya skeleton as it gives you cascade (run both bloodbraid elf and violent outburst) as CA while giving you access to the warlord which is basically an overun on a stick effect.

Either way you run 4 Blademaster and 4 evangel.

I splash black for bituminous blast, maelstorm pulse, and bala ghed thief in a naya build. The mana is a headache but the deck has enough CA to contend with even the U splash allies, jund, and naya decks with its cascade effects and the thief.

Its just odd, its probaly more along the lines of bant ally deck.

The problem is just about everyone runs green because of the survivalist and various support reasons of the color.
