<p>I've been running a U/W/r Allies list, playing Spell Pierce, Lightning Bolt and Preordain main. It's had a fair amount of success, is pretty good against Caw Blade and generic aggro strategies but weak against Valakut and U/B. I can put up some details if you're interested.</p>

<p>I've been giving some thought to bringing back my old B/W Allies deck that did so well at the end of Zendikar block. It's been pretty dormant until now because there weren't any good replacements for what it lost from Shards block, but I think it might be time for another go, since NP provides some awesome new cards. Phyrexian Metamorph is by far the best new creature - being any ally you currently have out for only 3 mana of any colour, and possibly even copying your opponent's stuff.…</p>

Phyrexian Metamorph is by far the best new creature - being any ally you currently have out for only 3 mana of any colour, and possibly even copying your opponent's stuff. Tezzeret's Gambit provides the hand refill the deck never had before - plus it pumps your entire team as a bonus and plays well with any Contagion Clasps you're running. Despise is a pretty useful new discard spell for B, and Gitaxian Probe could even show up just because it cycles for free.

It was ALA-M10-ZEN, I had Violent Outburst cascading into Akoum Battlesingers. That was fun.<br/>

Why wouldn't you play green? If you are worried about mass removal you can always throw in a set of Vengevines to make the deck more powerful and less vragile to mass removal.<br />

I think you have to play black, because elsewise your opponent can just wrath you with DoJ/Consume the Meek, so the hand disruption to protect your vastly over-extended board is required.<br />

I wouldn't play green tbh.
