My soldiers, your face, right now. I've gone up against this mono white solder deck many times and it usually stomps my face. You might find some useful stuff in there.

yea that would be good i prob would side board one to replace Crusade .

YAY! Soldiers/Legacy, my favorite!
Okay, I'll start with the part my friends mock me for - Land 'construction'. I'd pull Daru Encampment
and Fountain of Cho
for 3x Kjeldoran Outpost
.
Now, somebody else mentioned Armored Ascension
and in a mono-white deck it is better than Serra's Embrace
.
You have no Boros Elite
or Champion of the Parish
which could make early game a bit slower than it has to be. You could make room by pulling out most of your creature removal for 4x Intrepid Hero
.
Oh, and if your deck plays anything like mine, you'll want Rest in Peace
for your sideboard, since there's always that one reanimator ass in the playgroup.
If you hate my ideas, you'll hate my deck, but if you think I've added anything useful, check out Soldier Remix for more of the same.

I have 4 Boros Elite that i can put in but idk if i will. The only problem i have with Kjeldoran Outpost is you have to sack a land to play it and you have to pay 3 to use its ability u might as while play Throne of Empires . But yeah speed isn't a big problem for this deck so i don't think those 1 drops will do to much.

You are right, in that the Throne is cheaper than the Outpost, but I prefer it since it takes up a land spot, giving me more spell cards. But, discounting those things, I'd still definitely take a look at Intrepid Hero , at least for sideboard. It's one of those cards that is rarely no good, and only gets better if your opponent is playing fatties that could otherwise be causing you problems. The only thing I don't like about him is that the black version is better Royal Assassin , imo.

Adding some 'Destroy creature' cards instead of Unmake may be helpful, because then you can just take the creature with Debt of Loyalty immediately after.
And I love the title, by the way.

I like this man, have +1 from me :) I also recommend a classy fight between gentlemen's decks, yours against *Invidia hahahah Cheers ! !

I own and pilot the My soldiers, your face, right now. deck. I agree with Armored Ascension as an effective finisher.
As far as mana/lands are concerned, I'd rather be dropping soldiers than waiting for my lands to untap, so I run strictly plains. I also run Preeminent Captain , Ballyrush Banneret , and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben . The mana advantage intrinsic to those three cards is really hard to beat, even for control decks, which I had a personally weak matchup against prior to those cards.
Holy Day was really good when I ran it, and only requires one mana left open, which looks much less threatening than three in a soldier deck, and can be easily overlooked by an opponent. It also allows you to tap out against an opponent to bait them into doing the same, only to meet your Holy Day and die the next turn.
Champion of the Parish does not trigger when you get a soldier token, because they are raceless, Kor, or Kithkin.
Nomads' Assembly is also a crushing finisher.
Mentor of the Meek helps delay hand deadness. But you have to be careful when and how you cast it, because sometimes you won't be able to get it to trigger because your soldiers are too big.
I really like Crusader of Odric because she gives you something to kill green decks with if they live that long
September 22, 2013 11:45 a.m.
Im liking Holy Day . I didnt know they had 1 drop prevent all damage. ill most likely pick those up. When i first got this deck i had Crusader of Odric in it but i like Benalish Commander better if i need it fast i can just pay the casting cost or if its late game ill pay the suspend cost for 4 to 7 and generate 1/1's and if i have Cathars' Crusade out all my creatures get +1/+1. As for Thalia, Guardian of Thraben i feel it would slow me down with my enchantments and planeswalkers. Daru Warchief i think is better than Ballyrush Banneret because it gives your soldiers +1/+2. I like Preeminent Captain but im not sure what id take out to put them in.
September 22, 2013 12:06 p.m.
I hadn't seen the interaction between Benalish Commander and Cathars' Crusade . That's nasty. I LOVE IT!!
I think yours has a lot more late game potential than mine.
September 22, 2013 9:13 p.m.
thanks bro any ideas on what i can take out to put in Preeminent Captain ? im thinking ill put in only 2 there a little pricey and i think id only need two anyway
September 25, 2013 9:33 p.m.
-1 Cenn's Tactician and -1 Forbidding Watchtower ?
Dunno. It's going to be a hard choice. And mine is basically focused on swinging every turn, so cenn's tactician and forbidding watchtower never worked for me. If I was having to block, I was already out of the game, or had stalled and was waiting for an Armored Ascension .
September 26, 2013 9:50 a.m.
Alright what elspeth plneswalkers do you think work best?
September 27, 2013 10:22 a.m.
i like it but i havent been putting flying enchantments in this deck anyway so i think im going to pull them out of my sidebored
September 27, 2013 9:54 p.m.
I really like Elspeth, Knight-Errant . But she's the only one I've ever touched so...
September 27, 2013 11:44 p.m.
Shes good but she only generates 1 1/1 soldier so im thinking Elspeth, Sun's Champion will be good and im finding Elspeth Tirel a lot more useful than i thought it would so im also thinking about doubling up on her.

I definitely like the afore mentioned idea of Preeminent Captain . Another possibility is Field Marshal . Liking this deck. :) +1

Ajani, Caller of the Pride can protect some of your smaller creatures from burn with counters. His - ability can end the game and his bomb will pretty much win the game unless you're on the losing side.

Ive thought about him but i like keeping this deck soldier themed. A themed deck gives you limitations so it makes it that much harder to make a good themed deck which i feel i heve accomplished with what i have.

Nice deck. I feel like Armored Ascension is a must though! As is Champion of the Parish Just a thought.
