    [Deck] Tomb White Weenie with Allies

    I wanted to build an Ally deck since the first time I saw Kazandu Blademaster in Zen, and now WWK spoiler reveals Hara Freeblade, decent 1-drop, and Stoneforge Mystic, who finds the best equips to make Blademaster insane.
    Now the juicy part: Mirror Entity is Ally and all allies have +1/+1 counters, wich means they work great together. So now the deck plays Equips and card that wants as much mana as possible. The first cards that came to mind to power this are -lands and Mox, so I read through some Angel Stompy threads and took the idea of Aven Mindcensor. In the end I came to this list :

    MANA (12)
    4 Ancient Tomb
    12 Plains
    4 Chrome Mox
    2 Tithe

    1-DROPS (12
    )
    4 Hara Freeblade - Decent 1-drop, the initial 0/1 stats make her very effecrive when you pump her with Entity. Possibly 3 Hara Freeblade/1 Figure of Destiny split
    3 Mother of Runes - MVP white creature, maybe I'll try to sneak the 4th one in
    4 Swords to Plowshares - Obv.
    1 Basilisk Collar - Seems to be absolutely insane with Blademaster or Mother of Runes.

    2-DROPS (11)
    4 Kazandu Blademaster - The reason to even try to play Allies (IMHO)
    3 Stoneforge Mystic - The so much needed card advantage, allows to run less equips and still be able to find one when you need it. Also, uncounterable equips are good.
    3 Ethersworn Canonist - Mainly to fight Storm, also hurts some other strategies, but overall the weak link, I'll try different options here...
    1 Umezawa's Jitte - Obv., only 1 'cause of Stoneforge Mystic.

    3-DROPS (11)
    4 Aven Mindcensor - Turn 3 is usually a little late, but with the help of Tombs and Moxes this guy becomes a huge buttheart for opponent
    3 Oblivion Ring - Obv.
    3 Mirror Entity - Works extremely well with Allies 'cause it's an ally itself and all allies have low initial stats and +1/+1 counters, thus the outcome will be better.
    1 Sword of Fire and Ice - Obv., only 1 'cause of Stoneforge Mystic.

    4-DROPS (4)

    3 Elspeth, Knight-Errant - Obv.
    1 Ranger of Eos - Another piece of card advantage, gives 2 Allies or sideboarded Burrentons.

    SIDEBOARD
    (very rough)
    4 Thorn of Amethyst - Against Combo and Control
    3 Pithing Needle - Against Deed, 40+ Lands.deck and other stuff.
    2 Burrenton Forge-Tender - Against red and Dredge
    3 Relic of Progenitus - Obv.
    1 Retribution of the Meek - Against Tombstalker, Progenitus, Goyf, Dreadnought and Aggro-Loam monsters.
    2 Sword of Light and Shadow - If you need more lifelink or if opponent plays only / removal (say, UWx Landstill will have 6+ StP/Paths in games 2 and 3 or Eva Green with Smothers, Snuff outs and Vampire Nighthawks)

    The deck plays like the agressive builds I saw in Angel Stompy threads (like Digital Devil's build - I took lots of ideas for this deck from his thoughts on Angel Stompy) - tries to lay early creatures (some with build-in disruption), give them some equips and bash for the win, clearing the way with removal/ignore blockers with Flying.

    The main difference is that I don't run any Angels. I just feel like they are to much hit or miss cards - sometimes turn 3 Angel wins the game, sometimes they just kill it on sight and I'm far behind 'cause I've put all resources into it.
    The Angels were a) big, b) evasive and c) had Lifelink. I tried to spread their abilities on other cards to make the deck less hit or miss:
    a) Big: Allies powering each other, Entity wich works great with Allies, Elspeth for better beats
    b) Evasive: mainly Elspeth, but also Basilisk Collar gives you kinda evasion (especially if it's on Blademaster)
    c) Lifelink: Collar, Jitte, SoLaS from SB and Stoneforge Mystics to find equips.

    I'll be thankful to anyone who helps me to improve this deck.

    Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
