"Reverend, reverend
Is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
What's within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my misery"

Deck Code: 1033465B
This deck relies on casting defensive allies turns 3 and 4, Tidal Wave turn 5 and Ghostmaker turn 6, which, with Threbin's ablity, will bring back the two allies from your graveyard.
Turn 7 The Kings Pride would be the perfect card in order to let you finish the game fast.
As a combo deck I did as much as I could to trim it to 40 cards, to maximize the chances of drawing the key cards, specially wave Turn 5.
Eternal Troll and Packbeast are there mostly to give you time to draw the key cards.
Oracle and Elizabeth to be your draw cards, so you won't need Glass Chalice or anything else.
Glimmer of Hope works not only to allow you to dig Wave and Ghostmaker faster, but also allows you to put allies in graveyard, in the order you want them to be reanimated.
Panther and Lily are mostly alllies for late game, depending on the situation you're facing.
Devoted Knight helps you when going second vs fast decks, when you might need to accelerate Wave (turn 4) and Ghostmaker (turn 5). You will often, though, want to sacrifice him and cast only late, already with TKP on the field.
The deck works really nicelly vs many buildings, and you can adapt your style facing rush, control and combo decks with it.
I've tried probably all allies possible, and the other ones I liked a bit were: Braxnorian Soldier, Earthern Protector, Erika Shadowhunter and Armored Sandworm, but as all of them are 5cc I decided to give up about them, as I want to have two allies on grave after the first Tidal Wave, for a better reanimate turn 6.
"Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates"
