Greetings! I put this deck together because my 12 year old son plays with me, and I wanted to make something that would be relatively straightforward for him to play. Cast, make bigger, beat. Pretty simple! I also didn't include any tutors for that reason - just keeping it simple.
I decided to include a Proliferate theme in the deck to help overcome the weakness that allies have generally - they're small. I've seen some Ally decks focus on repeating the ETB triggers, but if you have a few guys with counters on them, you don't want to blink them!
Okay! So... this is still somewhat of a work in progress. I'm very light on removal, and I'm sure my manabase could use some work (never done 5 color before). Other than that - I think this deck will be really fun to play! And also pretty straightforward for my son.
