Overview:
A five-color Ally tribal deck led by General Tazri that combines ETB value engines with blink effects to generate incremental advantage while building towards a combat-focused win condition through tribal synergies.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish a board presence with Allies while leveraging blink effects to multiply ETB triggers. Early game focuses on ramping and fixing the five-color mana base. Mid-game involves building an Ally army while using blink effects with valuable ETB creatures. The deck can generate significant card advantage through Sea Gate Loremaster and similar effects. The primary win condition involves going wide with buffed Allies using General Tazri's anthem ability, while backup plans include infinite blink combinations with Deadeye Navigator.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and graveyard hate, which can severely disrupt the creature-based strategy. The mana base is slightly below optimal range, which could lead to consistency issues in a five-color deck. The reliance on creatures makes it susceptible to creature-based hate effects and stax pieces.

- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with its tribal strategy and blink synergies providing a clear gameplan but requiring significant setup time. While it includes some powerful cards and interaction pieces, the deck's reliance on creature-based strategies and combat damage places it firmly in the casual-optimized range. It would struggle against more competitive decks that can win earlier but should perform well against other tribal or midrange strategies. The inclusion of quality interaction and some infinite combinations prevents it from falling into lower power levels.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
