Gideon's Battalion (Mono White Soldiers)

Modern Budget Mono-White Soldiers Theme/Gimmick Tribal Weenie

This is a Gideon-themed white weenie deck I've been working on!

The plan was to build a deck around each of the Baby Planeswalkers and make a monocoloured deck around each of them using cards from Planes they'd visited in the lore (Core sets were free game, though!).

The aim of this deck is to group up and hit the opponent until they die. Pretty standard white weenie stuff, the War Falcon puts in a load of work being a 2/1 flyer, and Doomed Travellers can become very useful chumb blockers with the added bonus of fighting beyond the grave in spooky ghost form!

Brimaz and the Precinct Captain spawn more soldiers, and they're further buffed by their Honour and a Field Marshal or two screaming in their ear. The little 1/1s could become much more buff if they get the right amount of encouragements!

The troops can even make it past enemy lines with spells like Brave the Elements and can get back unscathed with members of the corp like Frontline Medic (Which I now only just realised isn't actually a soldier- WHY HE'S FULLY DECKED OUT IN ARMOUR WHAT THE HECK!) for devastating blows!

Just gotta say, though, this isn't a competitive deck by any stretch- and it does need a bit of tweaking (gonna change the Soldier of the Pantheon for Kor Firewalkers eventually). Still, from experience at FNM, it's a fun deck- and opponents seemed to enjoy playing against it!

Thanks so much for checking this deck out- please feel free to leave suggestions for improvements!
