Hey, what do you think of my Naya colored ally deck? I use it mostly for casual games. Main focus is damage and beefy creatures
LANDS

5 Mountains
9 Plains
CREATURES
4 hada freeblades
2 Akoum Battlesinger
2 Graypelt Hunter
2 Talus Paladin
2 Murasa Pyromancer
3 Kazandu Blademaster

1 Oran-Rief Survivalist
1 Vastwood Animast
SPELLS
2 Rampant Growths
1 Beastmaster's Ascension

So what do you think? What would you add or takeout? I'm thinking of starting tournaments soon so I'd like to make a strong deck to win. Any adivce at all would be good, thanks!
The problem with nearly /every/ ally deck is having an answer to Day of Judgement. Considered how to answer that.
Error: Rampant Growth is not Standard anymore! Also, I think I count 59 cards here. Not legal in any constructed.

Last night I awoke to an unusual dream; most people dream of riches or significant others but last night I had a MTG vision. In the dream I was sitting in my German class and on the board I saw the back of a ordinary magic card. I walked to it and was able to spin it around; it turns out the card…
What do you think about this deck, I don't play any tournaments or don't stick to formats though, we just play amongst friends.

Yeah Ant Queen! I’d save the Naturalize and Arrest for sideboard material and put down something like Vines of Vastwood to protect your creatures or Autumn’s Veil to stop from being Leaked or such, or even Withstand Death against sweepers like Day of Judgment (which seem to always show up in multiplayer matches). But against Sweepers, try Dauntless Escort. Three Behemoth Sledge might be a little much, and I’m not sure Contagion Engine really fits, cept when Planeswalkers are around. With so much potential for power, consider maybe running Overrun over Overwhelming Stampede, depending upon whether you get your Sledges or pump cards and how often they turn up for massive beats.
For a special land, consider finding a Oran-rief, the Vastwood for your counter making engine.
Skill Versus Luck →

By Dr. Richard Garfield:
…I believe that the standard dichotomy of luck vs. skill is misleading. This comparison implies that the more luck there is, the less skill and vice versa. To me, this is not at all true. The reward for skill depends on how much luck there is in a game, but a game that is mostly determined by luck can have an enormous amount of skill.
…
If you want to minimize luck, you should play the game as many times as possible. A rank beginner has a good chance of beating anyone in a single hand of poker. But string the hands into sessions and the sessions into seasons of poker, and the more skillful player will consistently win…
Chandra, Liliana, Elspeth. You have to kill one, bang one, marry one. Go!
Anon, you forgot Nissa!
