Mono-W Soldiers, a straightforward aggro deck. Lots of cheap, mana-efficient creatures combined with half a dozen anthems and some Battle Screeches for good measure. Take a turn or two to build up an army and drop one or four Kjeldoran War Cries for game!

Almost every creature is a soldier, making for good synergy with War Falcon, Veteran Armorsmith and Veteran Swordsmith. I have thought about putting in more of the lords but i'm not sure what to swap out, or if it's really worth it. They're powerful but they can be useless against flyers or massive enchanted/pumped creatures. The deck can do well in a drawn out slugging match against other aggro decks, but you definitely want to be ending the game as quickly as possible. The control matchup is skewed against the deck, as we often won't always have the necessary tools to protect our creatures against destruction, and we don't have enough options to outplay counterspells.

Thraben Inspector and Loyal Cathar are MVPs, each being a good way to generate or keep card advantage. Skyfisher allows you to recycle Thraben Inspector for more tokens, giving you a small draw engine to refill your hand. Cathar is a great chump-blocker, and can also be recycled with Skyfisher.

I have Icatian Javelineers in here as a simple way to deal with tokens and threats like Soul Sisters. Being Soldiers they also benefit from our lord-smiths, making them useful even after expending their javelins. If you really want, you can recycle them with Skyfisher as well.

Journey to Nowhere and Guardian of the Guildpact provide excellent hard answers and defense against foreign aggression.

Let me know how I might be able to improve the deck!
