This is a budget friendly soldiers deck in Jeskai colors. There are some great token makers in both Boros and Blue, and great tribal support in Azorius since Brother's War. To run a commander that provides some synnergy, we run Prava of the Steel Legion, and to find our colors in a budget friendly partner while also reducing the amount of draw spells we need to play we run Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist. Adding green by switching out Prava for Sidar Kondo of Jamura might be a worthwhile consideration to give us access to some green goodies like March of the Multitudes and Torens, Fist of the Angels, but for this build we are sticking to Jeskai.

The game plan is simple; amass a large army and win through combat. We do this with token creation and efficiently costed creatures combined with card draw, all the while protecting our board with interactive spells somewhat proficiently. The deck is not extremely strong and won't stand a good chance against truly competative decks, but for being a go-wide, soldier tribal deck we pack a wallop. Feel free to try it out and give any input you wish, cheers!
