Let's Be Allies!!

Futbol · May 2016

Hello Cardsmiths! This is only my third contest so I'm pretty rusty on making them-but let's get to the contest! For this contest, I want you to create new allies. Not from the battle for zendikar set, but new ones with great abilities that work very well together. Winner will be my choice or the highest number of likes, second my choice or second number of likes, and third my choice or the least number of likes. 10 entries per cardsmith. This contest ends on Saturday, May 25. Have a ton of fun!!

So make a collection of creatures with the subtype Ally that work well together and don't have a BFZ or OGW set symbol?

Pretty much, you can have them have that symbol, but with different Allie abilities.

So we couldn't use Rally?

Futbol · May 2016

No, but you could make one that works like rally.

Not sure if this fits the bill, but: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/zulaport-underhand

Works well with allies, just not your own allies.

Alright, my Allies will use a [Rally+Battalion] style trigger. It won't be keyworded, and will read something like this:

Whenever [creature name] and at least one other Ally creature attacks, Ally creatures you control get/have/gain [buff/ability] until end of turn.

My problem is that I want a set of four Vampires (for which I have already collected artwork) but some look like red Vampires and there are only white and/or black Vampires on Zendikar, the red ones come from Innistrad...

Which is the lesser of two evils (or is neither acceptable), Allies on Innistrad or red Vampires on Zendikar?

The benefits I've decided on could go red or white (along with the black) without injuring the "color-pie-people":

Deathtouch
First strike
Menace
Hit a player get a +1/+1 counter

Right?
