I decided to go back to my roots and make Mono white aggro. The difference being soldier tribal, because of Obelisk of Urd and after seeing some other soldier decks floating around. The main one that gave me the kick in the butt to do so was because of WomboCombo and his FNM soldier deck. So Props to him for making me make this and actually be successful.
The first time ever using it at FNM (8/15/2014) i went 4-1 and I was quite happy with the results. Comments and Suggestions are appreciated. Some cards are really expensive and I do not wanna purchase, such as Mutavault i would love to have them, but i only play standard, and they will be rotating out soon.
FNM Results:2-1 Loss against Boros Midrange. This was my only loss of the day and it was the first match which had me bummed. I won the first game in 4 turns, started with Dryad Militant followed by double Boros Elite turn 2. followed by Spear of Heliod turn 3, and he only managed to get out a boros reckoner for blocking. I stompped him while other people were still shuffling their decks. Game 2/3 I mulligan'd and he cast Banishing Light on any threats including my Obelisk of Urd which really hurt, and burned away Precinct Captain and 3rd game was much of the same. the Struggle was real
2-1 win over Azorius Control. First game I just rushed him almost identical to first game against the Boros player. 2nd game took 30 minutes of him countering and casting Jace, architect of thought over and over. Supreme verdicts came when he needed, and Sphinx's Revelation kept him alive. Game 3 I had sideboarded Rootborn Defenses and an opportune response to a Supreme Verdict let me double my soldier tokens to 6, cast Obelisk of Urd the turn after and swung lethal.
2-0 Win Against Mono Blue Devotion. Felt bad, game one he mulligan'd to 4 and It was really easy he had no answers or anything. 2nd game, he mulligan'd again and only cast 2 cloudfin raptors and a Judge's Familiar. I on the other hand got our Dryad Militant 2 Boros Elite, Nyxborn Shieldmate plus Launch the Fleet. Propelled me to an easy win.
2-0 Win against Rakdos Devotion? It was a deck I'd never seen before but he said he was 3-0 with it. It played Frostburn Weird + Burning-Tree Emissary and combo'd into Fanatic of Mogis or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for major devotion into Purphoros, God of the Forge ability, and swung for something like 26. I ended up chumping with Raise the Alarm tokens and managed to swing for lethal with Brave the Elements
+
Obelisk of Urd
a couple of turns after.
2-1 Win over Mono Blue Devotion. First game he got rushed, had an opening hand of Dryad, 2 Boros Elite, 1 Alarm, Obelisk of Urd, and 2 plains, then I drew into Spear of Heliod. He had no chance to stabalize. 2nd game any threat I played He cast Domestication and I couldnt get anything out to counter it. Didnt draw into any Banishing Light or Revoke Existence. So Grimey, I officially Hate Domestication. Game 3, I was to much, Boros Elite + Precinct Captain with Soldier tokens from Raise the Alarm helped cast a Obelisk of Urd. He only managed to get out a couple Cloudfin Raptor and a Nightveil Specter which died to my Pumped Precinct Captain.
Overall, rocky start first match, but I realized how to play the deck.
Allstar: Launch the Fleet Swung lethal with Obelisk of Urd on the field, or heavy damage with Spear of Heliod. This card rocks.
Major Trouble card: Nyxborn Shieldmate Not to sure on this card, I actually sided it out a lot, and didn't notice any real difference, I still hit pretty heavy. So-So on this atm.
Honorable Mention: Obelisk of Urd + Raise the Alarm worked wonders, cast Raise at the end of their turn, convoke for Obelisk. So beautiful.
