Krayhaft, xplanxalex, thinking about something like this. Maybe splash a color

I would try and splash another color. This coming standard has a pretty good dual base, good enough to not ignore running 2 or even three colors.

I'm not sure if the soldier pool is good enough this standard to stick to the theme.

I don't really like the outlast ability in constructed. Unless you can give your dudes vigilance reliably, you lose tempo by activating the outlast ability

I personally like Fabled Hero over pre eminent captain thats just me

and yeah going for a second color would be easy and give you some more flexibility, go green :)

What would I add a second color for? There's no point in adding another color just because I can, what cards would be good for this in another color?

I know there's Ride Down in red which looks decent but idk

Take out the Assault Griffin for High Sentinels of Arashin http://mythicspoiler.com/ktk/cards/highsentinelsofarashin.html

Yup, that's the plan :) it's mentioned in the description

I would splash red or green. Mostly green in my opinion because of the ramp you get from it. Personally, I wouldn't want Preeminent Captain . I would replace him for a heroic creature, like Fabled Hero .

Right now I don't have much room for activating spells, I'm only running a playset of Gods Willing mainboard. I like Preeminent Captain in theory since I can bring in a Sentinels or Brimaz.

Why would I run ramp? This is an aggro deck, not midrange.

I know it is aggro, but you need something to make your dudes big. I know you have some stuff like that, (Phalanx Leader Spear of Heliod Obelisk of Urd Hall of Triumph ) but maybe a bit more... Maybe another spear? I don't know. It seems like its missing something for some reason... I love this deck though. I'm all about creatures.

Well, High Sentinels of Arashin will be a great addition once it's added to the database since it not only flies, but makes other creatures bigger and gets bigger at the same time. I could add another Obelisk of Urd at some point, but I don't even have the cards and Khans isn't out yet so idk what would work best

Idk if I'll need ramp or not, hopefully Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will be enough

Well, given that it's so easy to splash a color in this new standard, the only downside would be that it would make your deck more expensive.

I would take out Hall of Triumph for another Spear of Heliod . You can have more than one hall out at a time, but the spear adds to devotion and gives extra utility. If anything, you can replace the anthem artifacts for Paragon of New Dawns to add more bodies on the ground, while keeping the effect.

Another thing to note is that your mana curve is very low on 2-drops. I don't have any suggestions right now, just wanted to let you know so you can think about it.

Yeah, I've been toying with numbers and other cards. In playtesting, Phalanx Leader was extremely weak because the only card that could activate it was Gods Willing . Removing it would create even more problems though - no more 2-drops and a sizeable dip in devotion count. Then I realized that the best way to solve this was to add Launch the Fleet , which I think will do well in this deck even without Phalanx Leader , and serves to trigger him nicely.

Hall of Triumph is also Legendary unfortunately. I'll add another Spear of Heliod in its place - at 2x I shouldn't run into the redundancy too often. Paragon of New Dawns just seems too slow and weak tbh, I'd rather have the cheaper, more resilient anthems.

needs preeminent captain, along with some other cards but this is a good deck idea, ive been thinking of something like this and i will make my own on here soon.

zachgamr, I had him in originally but I don't know what I would take out for it. I'm already overloaded on 3-drops and Preeminent Captain is not as good as Abzan Falconer , Brimaz, King of Oreskos , or my enchantments, IMO.

I don't know if you've considered this but maybe splash black? You then get access to Sorin, Solemn Visitor , Bloodsoaked Champion , and various removal like Utter End .

I'm not sure I feel too great about Herald of Anafenza but we'll see, mostly because the outlast ability is pretty expensive

Also maybe Eidolon of Countless Battles ?

I definitely wanna keep the soldier theme. Adding ghose black cards would make it into an entirely different deck.

I really need another, better 2-drop to supplement or replace Phalanx Leader , but I'm not sure what. I could maindeck something like Aegis of the Gods but hopefully there's a better option. Perhaps Kinsbaile Skirmisher ? I might also drop Gods Willing from the mainboard - instead of trying to save one of my creatures, I'll just play more of them.

Maybe Hero of Iroas ?

Feat of Resistance might be worth looking into for a great number of utilities including heroic for Phalanx Leader , getting counters on non-outlast creatures, and the occasional free swing.

I've been toying with the idea of putting Abzan Battle Priest in my mono white standard deck, (KTK Approved) Praise the Sun.

goody i think you should take out herald of anafenzaor soldier of the pantheon, having a creature to put other creatures for no mana on the battlefield is waybetter than soldier or 1/1 white soldiers, I suggest... well this deck has ideas but is not as good as it could be, adding enchantments to give them vigilance and first strike is too good and i will make a better verison of this in my opinion (no offense too you) it is a great idea.

Added Vanguard of Brimaz and Ajani's Pridemate and fixed the curve. The deck now has 7 creatures in CMC 1-3 and 4 in CMC 4.

I built something like this earlier today. I found that what's available at the 2 drop slot pushes your deck towards including some number of cards that target your own guys to make the heroic triggers from Phalanx Leader and Vanguard of Brimaz relevant. You could also splash blue and use Dauntless River Marshal . For better devotion support, I'm thinking the heroic triggers are probably the way to go. You have to use either some tapped lands or non-white producing lands to support a splash at this point too.

I like High Sentinels of Arashin a lot. It provides flying damage and gives you an outlet to spend mana off of Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx when nothing's in your hand.

Personally, I tend to want to add a couple more lands and mainboard Elspeth, Sun's Champion , but I can see trying to go more aggressive. Without more than 22 lands, I would cut Elspeth from the sideboard even. When you board it in, you'll struggle to cast it just as if it were mainboard.

Finally, we just die to Stormbreath Dragon . Like, we don't even have Celestial Flare anymore to hopefully catch them attacking with it alone. The dragon is going to be everywhere as a 4x in any midrange deck that can cast it. Temur especially. For this reason, I'm considering splashing either red for Stoke the Flames and Iroas, God of Victory or blue for counter magic.

I'm enjoying Ajani's Pridemate mainboard even if lifegain is scarce. If I can make that and Vanguard of Brimaz work, then I won't need to focus on the heroic triggers.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion can be sided in due to Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx mana, at least in theory.

I'm not insanely worried about Stormbreath Dragon because High Sentinels of Arashin will almost always be bigger than it. Even though it can't block the dragon, the pressure it will create at even 5/6 (combined with the early damage I've put out with the aggro build) should keep it on the defensive. This doesn't help if I'm already losing the race, obviously, so it's not a foolproof theory.

If possible, I don't want to splash another color because it'll dilute the devotion and create mana problems with the saturated cards. At this point I'm content with trying to make the deck work as mono white; if it doesn't, I'll probably splash red also.
