Deck Description

$14.75 for the maindeck.
$2.15 for the sideboard.

Still working on the mana base, but the Ally split seems pretty set. It's so unfortunate that Allies have such a limited number in their tribal party.

Also, American is for the red/white/blue if you didn't get it. Dunno how you wouldn't though. =)

4x Ondu Clerics would be a lot more beneficial than the Highland Berserkers. The amount of life they can gain for you can be pretty crazy.

Also where are the Join the Ranks? Those are pretty much a staple.

I love Join the Ranks when I have Allies swarming the board, but when there are no allies in play, drawing into a 4 mana Join the Ranks (2x weak 1/1s), seems pretty weak. Join the Ranks is a "win more" type of card that is fun but nowhere near staple.

Ondu Clerics are great against certain decks (as you can see they're in my sideboard for Red Deck Wins and other fast rampaging decks), but Highland Berserkers are for the Akoum Battlesingers. In certain cases when the opponent has several 1/1s in play, I need the Berserkers in order to allow my Akoums to swing freely with their +X/+0 ability.

I actually won a 2v1 (3-way FFA but I was getting completely ganged) with 2x Ondu Clerics and a handful of allies on board. Sad thing is I actually did have to top deck into Join the Ranks to win. (I gained 40 life and my opponents couldn't kill me before my final blow) So yes, Ondu Clerics and Join the Ranks are amazing in certain cases, but in others they impede my ability for a consistent 5th or so turn win.
