Really want to see some common/some more uncommon Allies now. I just want a 1-drop to help properly fuel this, because Ally Reanimator seems like a delightfully fun time. Pity not many Rally abilities seem to stack, though: at this point, it's just Tajuru Warcaller (a 5-drop), the RW legend (whose ability still gets diminishing returns), and the GW uncommon (which costs mana to activate). I want to believe that this can be good, I just need something worth reviving with it.
Also, if the rest of the pieces are there, the deck would have a backup (or primary?) combo piece in Rally the Ancestors. And I absolutely want to make a Rally-Ally deck.

Well, this is a neat card. The conversion on mana here is pretty solid, and the potential triggers could make this game over for some opponents. If thereès an Ally that grants Haste, then this is probably busted.
Some people likes to crack packs ocasionally just for the fun of the gamble but this set really is looking like real gamble
Yeah, but there's no reason that this card itself should matter for that.
If it's because you'd rather pull a mythic, well then it won't really matter what rare you pull.
If it's because you think it's not going to be worth anything, I almost guarantee people will at least try to make Ally decks a thing in Standard as well as seeing how some of these cards shake out in Modern. Still dependent on some other cards to be spoiled obviously.
If it's because you play limited, then yeah, it might be a hard build around depending on how prevalent allies are in the draft environment, but having a bunch of merely okay rares is good in Limited. Having tons of bombs is why people didn't like FRF in limited.
If it's because you personally want to play deck X, it's just sort of silly to complain that most cards don't slot into your deck.
Well uh...that's pretty cool. But yet another rare I don't want to pull from a pack. That list is growing with each new spoiler...
Haven't we gone over this at least twice before? Don't buy packs if you want value. If you want value buy singles.
I enjoy buying packs when the set has a decent amount of good rares in it, like RtR or Khans of Tarkir. I was hoping this set would have a good amount of rares that will pay for or at least come close to paying for a pack so I could play the foil "full art" land lottery every now and then and still have the potential to get something decent when I inevitably don't open that winning lottery ticket. Also more value rares in the set means cheaper mythics and cheaper rares all around because more packs get opened. This set has quite a few fantastic mythics so far, but that's a scary prospect in a set that's loaded with bulk rares.
Interesting effect, a bit like a mini one sided Patriarch's Bidding for allies. Bringing back some combination of Ondu Cleric and Hada Freeblade for a heap of life and some respectable sized creatures sounds like fun.
Interesting, but I wonder why the 8 CMC restriction.... I can't wait to see what were deemed too good to be affected by this.
Probally to prevent you from getting back an insane amount of allies to rally with each other. Also 8 cmc of creatures returned to battle field for 5 seems good to me.
Black White rare. Been waiting for something so awesome.
Wait... only... Allies
How about some Zombies too
I agree, this name is cool and simple it should have gone on a more generic card that could be used anywhere like with zombies, this should have had a plane specific name or event name
How is this not the most flavorful card of the set? I know, the land itself is rising up against the eldrazi, blablabla. No, the dead, the friggin dead are rising up with an actual cause!! They're not here to eat brains yo, they don't even care about brains right now, they are here to fight alongside everyone and everything else on Zendikar. FOR ZENDIKAR!!!
You...I like you lol. I just wonder how the hell this fits in the story at all, sounds like some Liliana shenanigans.
If there is a single Ally that gives haste... I'm scared to even think it, but Allies might be a tier 3 Modern deck... Hey, they can't all be winners.
EDIT: Oh, and Allies will wreck standard for the next 1.5 years too if that is the case.
oh ya thats what modern is scared of. a 5 mana sorcery that requires a graveyard setup. its like a terrible living end!
Um... uh... you see the word "tier 3." That means it is a bad/rogue modern deck outclassed by other decks. Twin is a tier 1 deck, Merfolk is a tier 2 deck, a rogue deck is tier 3. Also, living end.deck isn't really comparable All.deck seeing as living end is a combo deck and allies are a tribal deck like Merfolk.

Are you just cracking packs?

Then again, I could Rise of the Dark Realms for a bit more value... lol

Finally! I've been waiting to abuse that card.
( Composite Golem + Saffi Eriksdotter ) + ( Eternal Witness + March from the Tomb ) + Ashes of the Fallen & Blasting Station for a infinite damage loop.
Very convoluted I know.
