So Human Soldiers with a handful of auxilleries and a pet Silvar, Devourer of the Free . Go wide seems like the only viable strategy so the deck is split 3 ways between making tokens buffing tokens and everything else. Luckily there are a fair number of Human-Soldiers that fit into each category, unluckily not all of the cards that make solders make specifically human soldiers redagrdless of their art. This is not aiming to be a competitive deck as evinced by lack of Grim Monolith + Mana Crypt + Mana Vault this right here is pure Johnny cakes so priority goes to cards that have a Soldiery flavor. Luckily there are a fair number of cards like that such as Reconnaissance , Unbreakable Formation , and Marytr's Cause. That said this deck has several strategic weakensses: lack of fliers, low card draw, weak ramp, and vulnerability to sweepers just to name a few. Even worse theres still a lot of cutting to go with ~35 cards left on the chopping block. If Possible I'd Like to cut as few Human Soldiers as possible but we'll see.
