This is my attempt at making a mono-white (creature wise) soldier devotion deck. The idea is to be able to overwhelm using the Preeminent Captain's ability to give me free soldiers while being to keep them up or buff them more using Obelisk of Urd, Spear of Heliod, and Heliod, God of the Sun.

For my creature choices, they are as follows-

Soldier of the Pantheon is still a beast, being able to stop multi-colored aggression in its tracks while having a great 2/1 body for being a 1 drop.

Favored Hoplite is a good choice for being able to activate heroic when using with my survival cards.

Preeminent Captain is a fun card for this deck as all of the creatures aside from Heliod, God of the Sun are soldiers, we can keep getting free Soldiers as long as we have it on the field.

Fabled Hero is a really strong card due to the fact that its a 2/2 double strike for 3 CMC and the heroic effect is very useful. A fun combo is being in it using the Preeminent Captain and using Feat of Resistance to get a 4/4 double striker.

Brimaz, King of Oreskos does not need to really be mentioned since it is such a strong card. He is a soldier that can be brought in for free by the Preeminent Captain, produces soldiers, and has vigilance.

Heliod, God of the Sun gives us 2 major benefits. First, it gives us a large body in White that can produce more tokens (not needed) and gives everyone vigilance. This allows the deck to be very adaptive.

---

Most of the other cards are made to be ways to get our creatures to survive while hitting the enemy.

Feat of Resistance + Gods Willing are the prime examples of this. They will allow our creatures to live while giving benefits.

Also, Mass Calcify is the most defensive card of the deck, being able to wipe the field of large non-white creatures.

As this deck is just forming, I am looking for any and all suggestions (or +1s if you want).
