skyrider elf seems like a great card on its own. if there is an ally deck, that might be the centerpiece. there are a lot of curve-friendly creatures that are going to be in the format, with hangarback, forerunner of slaughter, and sky rider elf being very versatile cards that sort of curve out where you need them to. Pretty cool.
Sky Rider Elf seems very good. It's probably good even on its own in the right 5c or UG/x deck even without allies.
Lantern Scout will be quite good and be all over the place in the boards of creature - or token - based decks with white whether they're ally-based or not if there are any burn or aggro decks.
Zada is really scary, but perhaps hard to build around at 4cmc.
zada might not find a deck in standard as it is extremely build-around but it could top the curve in the right RDW shell...just dont know if there's enough support for it in standard. if r/w allies is competitive then I imagine you'd want to run 4 zada and 4 defiant strike in the deck. LOLZ
In modern, it looks really cool. I know nothing about modern but I am going to jump into the format once I get my playset.
How do you not count Gideon? He makes an ally, his name is an ally, he becomes an ally...and there's certainly not going to be any standard ally decks without him.

Not sure about the rest.
