Summary

{W}{W}{W}

Ojer Taq leads the masses of white soldiers into the fray!

This deck wants to take advantage of generating triple the tokens thanks to Ojer Taq while utilizing soldier synergy to provide interesting options. Because of the heavy cast cost on our commander we are trying to ramp as much as white allows. Once Ojer Taq is on the board we want to benefit and support token soldiers as much as possible. Eventually the endgame is to swing at an opponent with a ton of token creatures and win the day!

The help I'd like for this deck is to swap out low value token cards for better draw, more ramp, cheap tutors, or other things to increase the speed and efficiency of play. I think this deck has a lot of potential but I've never built a white deck before!

Thanks for you help!

Deck Tech

Soldier Interactions

The biggest subtheme of this deck is leaning towards a Soldier tribe. Valiant Veteran, Captain of the Watch, and Mobilization all support our soldier tokens with +1/+1 and/or vigilance. We have other sources of vigilance in Heliod, God of the Sun and Intangible Virtue. Outside of soldiers specifically but still interacting with tokens is Prava of the Steel Legion who benefits Soldier 1/1 W tokens.

Lifegain Sources

No white deck would be complete without at least a little lifegain. Here a sleeper is Daxos, Blessed by the Sun who can spike lifegain for us when tokens are spawned. Linden, the Steadfast Queen, Soul's Attendant, and Soul Warden all give us life for doing things we want to be doing (attacking with tokens and creating tokens). Dawn of Hope allows us to draw off our lifegain and create soldiers on demand.

Removal and Protection

We maintain a suite of protection and removal to remove options from our opponents toolbox. Removal includes classics like Settle the Wreckage, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, and Entrapment Maneuver. We have a pair of board wipes in Austere Command and Hour of Reckoning, both of which work well here because we are avoid blowing up the soldiers we've been creating.

On the Protection side of things we have shields like Hyena Umbra and Gift of Immortality. In relation to our Soldier Interactions theme, we have interesting options with Knight-Captain of Eos and Rescue Retriever to Fog out our opponents.

On the Bubble

The pair of cats in Regal Caracal and Leonin Warleader pair well together but do not synergize with the rest of the deck. Storm Herd would be amazing to win a game with but it also has a CMC of 10 which just pushes it way out of practical reach. Harmonious Archon felt good in theory however I forgot it also impacts my opponents which isn't ideal. Sigiled Sword of Valeron produces a knight that is tapped and attacking, but I am wondering if I should bring in more protection for my important pieces while trimming some of these less efficient cards.
