I keep getting Ally cards in the Zendikar/Worldwake booster packs and i think they are kind of a waste. Does anyone play an quot;Allyquot; deck? Should i play with these cards if i'm not? I dont' have enough to make a deck (at least not without using all 5 colors which i refuse to do). Has anyone tried? Just curious if they are very good.
There are a few good Ally decks, but you have to be smart about it. From my experience, Black (aside from Gala Bed Thief) and Red (aside from Kazuul Warlord) aren't all that hot. But Haribaz Druid makes any Ally deck hyper-fast, and both White and Blue have plenty of solid Allies. Hada Freeblade, Kazandu Blademaster, Ondu Cleric, and Kaibira Evangel make for a sturdy and high-pressure combo in a single color. In Blue, Jwari Shapeshifter is a cheap way to get more of your best Allies, Halimar Excavator gives an alternate way to win (and beomces instant win with a kicked Rite of Replication), and Seagate Loremaster means you never run out of cards to play before mana to use on them. They aren't as strong as Vampires or Jund (Red/Green/Black) Aggro, but they are pretty close.
Yes I've made a couple ally decks and I love them. But you got to stick to the three best ally colors atm these are 1. White 2. Blue/Green. A pure mono white ally deck is very powerful and a good competitor. But if you figure out a good combination with the 2 or 3 you can make an amazing deck. I've made a blue/white ally deck and I pulled out ahead in many occasions beating some of the top competitors in my area. So definitely give them a chance. Red is decent but definitely not one of the better one's but splashed right it could be deadly. But definitely stay away from black allies they just plain suck.

At first I shared your opnion of Allies. Then I got 4 Umara raptor, Halimar Excavator, and Kazandu Blademaster. I hate making 5 color decks, so i made it 3 colors: Green/White/Blue. Here is a rough list for what cards it has (lent it to my friend whose trying to get into Magic): Lands x4 Seaside Citadels x1 Glacial Fortress (only have 1 :P) x11 Plains x4 Island x5 Forest Creatures x4 Umara Raptor x4 Kazandu Blademaster x4 Hada Freeblade x2 Sea Gate Loremaster x1 Talus Paladin x1 Jwari Shapeshifter x3 Ondu Cleric x1 Makindi Shieldmate x2 Kabira Evangel x4 Oran-Rief Survivalist x2 Turntimber Ranger Other Spells x4 Join the Ranks x2 Brave the Elements x2 Divination SIDEBOARD x2 Path to Exile x4 Oblivion Ring x3 Safe Passage x4 Vines of Vastwood x2 Strength of the Tajuru Umara Raptor is a big player in this deck, as it becomes a huge flier with all my one drops. Though it is not my favorite deck (Bant and Red Aggressive with Hellspark Elemental are my favorites), it is very fun to play with. Hope this helped!
