allies with a touch of uw

might just be a rumor but i have been hearing alot about allies being the secret tech for standard at worlds. i dont know exaclty which colors the deck will be, but it will definetly have white. allies as a deck is so explosive becuase they are cheap, they all have triggered abilities that help you gain an advantage and if you dont deal with them quickly they overwhelm you...whats really sad is that people havent realized that that day of judgement is really fucking good and solves this problem.
i expect blue white control to make a huge comeback in the next few months. the deck is just too good not to play and now people are realizing that there are alot of sleepers from scars.tumble magnet and ratchet bomb should be seening more play as a way to deal with larger threats with tumble magnet and decks like vampires and boros with ratchet bomb. if large creature decks like vampires and elves and tokens appear to be a problem sunblast angel is a great answer. i am hoping that it starts to have a presence in peoples sideboard.
and finally people are starting to play spell pierce and its about fucking time. i looove that card. i dont see how people undervalue when it has so much potential. explore,harrow, planeswalkers, doj, fuck there are so many decks that tap out just to get their power cards in play that they dont even hesitate at playing them if you have one mana open. do yourselves a favor and watch how many times an opponent taps out during a game and think to yourself...spell pierce would fuck his shit up right now...

  1. Seriously, how great is Clasp + Chalice + Magnet + Gideon + Sunblast?

    Been hearing the same rumblings re:Allies, and don't think it's wrong, just haven't been able to get it to play consistently enough.
