I am still new, but I notice there are a lot of 1-of's, meaning only one copy of a card. Consistency is just hard when that is present, I would presume. Cool integration, though.

I like it, but the Raiders' Spoils just seem to me like a clunky thing to have

@Jake1515: Generally speaking you would be correct, however in this case the 1 of's are all cards that would be useful, but not something that I would really ever want multiples of in my hand..
@NativeDman: Thank you, and the Raiders' Spoils is there not only as an Anthem effect, but more importantly serves as this deck's only means of generating card advantage..

Mardu Strike Leader and Dragon Hunter could be useful here.
Check out my Abzan warriors for ideas, maybe.

I would definitely go up to 4 copies of Blood-Chin Rager and Arashin Foremost as they are amazing. You could also up the Sorin count to 2-3 as well. I found this really solid decklist on MTG Goldfish if you just scroll down to the warriors section it should give you some really good tips.

More Raiders' Spoils for sure. The buff stacks and you'll be more likely to draw your draw engine

I would recommend replacing most if not all of the Temple of Silence and Scoured Barrens with basics. I built an Orzhov Warrior deck using same land base more or less and i found it greatly slowed me down.

I'm not the biggest fan of Blood-Chin Fanatic. Maybe it'll sneak in some damage for the win, but I'd rather have more consistency and make sure I get out Arashin Foremost and Blood-Chin Rager. Has he worked for you?
I'd appreciate some advice on my own W/B Warriors! http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/to-defeat-the-khans/

ive been looking for a good tribal warriors deck and it looks like ive found one +1. my only suggestion would be -2 Blood-Chin Fanatic +1 Sorin, Solemn Visitor and +1 Arashin Foremost.
April 2, 2015 7:23 a.m.
yah i like +1 sorin, +2 Blood-Chin Rager +1 Arashin Foremost -1 Raiders' Spoils -2 Banishing Light and possibly drop both obelisk or at least one because taking a turn off attacking it cast it is not worth it for a damage racing aggro deck

I would second what awesomeguy37 says and add 1 Blood-Chin Rager and 1 Arashin Foremost. These are two of the best warrior cards and you want to draw into them every match. Obelisk of Urd is not great in warriors, taking a turn off to cast it is a pain, and against other aggro decks it can be a dead card.
Raiders' Spoils is okay, but card draw isn't too essential in warriors as you are aiming to win by turn 7 by the latest normally. I would add 1 Brutal Hordechief and get rid of Blood-Chin Fanatic. Fanatic sounds great on paper but I think the combo is too cute. I would also consider adding in Athreos, God of Passage to main given the additional devotion that Arashin Foremost adds.
Citadel Siege is a great card, but I feel that it is a bit slow as unlike Sorin, Solemn Visitor or Brutal Hordechief, it has no immediate board effect.
Banishing Light is also a bit risky, I prefer Utter End even if it is 1 CMC more.
As for lands, you really want to avoid lands that come in tapped, indeed the only one that I can really justify is Temple of Silence and even that I would be cautious about running.
Other than that I think your sideboard needs a bit more consistency, I would run 3x Glare of Heresy (Mainly for Abzan) and I would also run 3 Ultimate Price, as this card can get fantastic value. I would also add 3x Chief of the Scale as it helps you trade better with other aggro decks (especially token) and can give your creatures the chance to survive Drown in Sorrow.
Lastly I would seriously consider running 2-4 of Secure the Wastes. It is a fantastic card that you can play on your opponents turn to do some chump blocking, and then swing in the following turn with some buffs.

Oh and a couple of Archfiend of Depravity in the SB can massively help with decks that go wide, and flying decks. Hope that all helps!

so white can add some great things but, um... not needed per-se I have a deck called Died Out (on profile) that uses only black, by using all of the 1/1 deathtouchers and other powerful one-drops

Someone should help give advice on my budget variant of b/w warriors. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/takirs-bw-warriors/

Made some adjustments, and took this out to an FNM and I did pretty well..
Any thoughts on the new build?

I don't know if I like Citadel Siege but this looks solid. I would recommend adding one more land but if you're not having problems then don't change it. For the sideboard I'd recommend removing Lens and Erebos, they don't seem to do much for you. Chief of the Scale is great against Drown in Sorrow and Seismic Rupture. Ultimate Price is very solid against some decks.

Forgot to mention, take a look at Of Cats and Warriors for some ideas

Hi,
Congrats on your FNM success! How did Obelisk of Urd perform for you? I've been thinking about running them but the tempo loss seems pretty big.
I also think you could benefit from some way to regain a board once wiped, there is my favourite Return to the Ranks as well as Raiders' Spoils to keep you drawing.
Lastly your lands look a bit tough to play. I only run 2x Temple of Silence as I try to avoid playing too many taplands. I would recommend dropping the Scoured Barrens for Mana Confluence, and then maybe dropping 1-2 temples.

Dragon Hunter seems perfect for sideboard in place of Woe reaper. Since youve got thoughtseize, i think Murderous cut or ultimate price is better than Hero's Downfall mainboard. When do you side in Athreos, exactly? and i would definitely suggest Virulent Plague on the sideboard over any of those color specific spells like self inflicted wound; youve got a ton of removal already. +1 and love your Handle; big Metroid fan.

I dislike Valorous Stance in here; maybe take out 2 of them and put in Crippling Blight (seriously, it works).
aaaaaaand, check out my take in the archetype?

No offense, your sideboard is messy. To further help your deck, I would try something a little like this:
2x Surge of Righteousness Against
3x Self-Inflicted Wound Against
2x Dark Betrayal Against
1x Glare of Heresy Against
1x Hushwing Gryff Against Whip of Erebos decks and maybe Abzan because of Siege Rhino
2x Thoughtseize Against the mirror, to grab their Chief of the Edges and the likes.
2x Bile Blight Against tokens.
2x Ultimate Price Against RDW and Jeskai tokens.

You could also squeeze some Virulent Plague in there instead of Bile Blight, and Erase if Jeskai or Temur combo is big in your meta.

Not really sure Suspension Field needs to be mainboarded.
If you get stalled out off of the early game plan yu are going to need something to pack a punch.
There are two three drop watriors that have been spoiled recently. I would maybe save some space for them.
For now maybe 2 Mardu Strike Leader? He seems like a good way to flood the board without over extending.
