Oh, and anyone have any ideas on some card draw as far as fitting in with the soldier theme? Like soldiers that help you draw cards?

does the pumping ability come before Mentor of the Meek 's ability? or can i still use it even though its pumped to a higher power?

Yeah, Mentor of the Meek doesn't work if there's an anthem effect in play pumping the creature to a power above 2, so he gets worse as time goes on. Also, consider Fencing Ace . With all the anthems from Honor of the Pure , Captain of the Watch , and Field Marshal I think having a guy with double strike will serve you well.

What turn is your target win turn? You may need to consider early game removal if you say anything later than turn 4. Path to Exile is a good option as some decks don't run many basics. (Affinity comes to mind.)

Thanks for the comment! Goal is to win on turn 4 to 5ish. Always wins at least turn 7 though. If I use Path to Exile I'd have to cut some aggro and I don't really want to do that. It will definitely go into the sideboard though. Any ideas for draw cons? Thanks again!

Hard to get draw in white but Mentor of the Meek can provide some draw.

Ohthenoises says... #13

The only reason I suggested removal is because affinity and other hyper fast aggro exist.

Yea, I understand. But this deck is pretty fast and If I do happen to play against a really fast deck, then I'll sideboard. Any suggestions for sideboard? I tried Mentor of the Meek but the anthems don't allow to use it effectively. For now, Any draw cons that kind of fits, I will try to add. Just cause everything is so low in mana, so I need to refill my hand

should I add card:Veteran's Armaments?

thoughts on Doomed Traveler ?

All I could think off hand for draw is to drop Captain of the Watch for Cathar's Crusade and use Mentor of the Meek. But I don't think that's a great idea...

argotpryer says... #18

... I didn't really look that close I guess. The idea might still be useful.

I'd rather not. It's not a creature and its too slow for this deck. Thanks for commenting though! Thoughts on Doomed Traveler Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and card:Veteran's Armaments

I would say no on Doomed Traveler . It's just going to turn into a 1/1 spirit, which won't help you at all. Elite Vanguard is much better. I would say -2 Precinct Captain +2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben .

I think Mentor of the Meek is your only draw option, which should work out okay, based on your curve. Maybe add some board clearing. Once you get Emeria, The Sky Ruin out and working you'll be playing a minimum of one creature per turn, so if you wiped the board you'd have no trouble recovering, while your opponent certainly would. I personally prefer Fencing Ace over Precinct Captain , but that's just me. buffy is right about Thalia for this deck, for sure. And maybe use Rest in Peace over card:Grafdigger's Cage?

Perhaps Silver-Inlaid Dagger might do better here. It's lowers casting and in my opinion can get better results. Most everything except the tokens are humans so you would be getting the +3. Just a thought.

tempest says... #23

Do you guys know if there are any enchantments or artifacts that would allow me to draw? I will find room for Thalia, Guardian of Thraben . What are your thoughts on card:Veteran's Armaments?

Anything that allows me to draw without killing my creatures :P or overpriced in mana cost? And card:Veteran's Armaments? Thoughts?
