Deck Description

Soldiers, Soldiers, and more Soldiers. After losing my previous white deck, I decided to come back stronger and better equipped than ever. The deck has been assembled (65 cards) and is ready for a full throttle testing. With a several dated cards, it is for causal play and not tournament ready.

I've already made some modifications... thanks to certain advice.
From the M10:

Captain of the Watch (2x) (whenever I can get my hands on them...)
Veteran Swordsmith (3x)
Veteran Armorsmith (2x)
Elite Vanguard (1x)

Solemn Offering (2x)
Glorious Charge (2x)

Deck discussion for Sufferin' Succotash, I See Soldiers!

soldiers require full frontal aggro that is completely replicable. This means two things:
1: You need to pick out the best cards for this deck and increase the number of them while taking out the other cards. Also M10 has some of the most amazing soldier cards ever printed (like honor of the pure).
2: Cards that make you wonder if you should attack alone or as a group need to go, this means cards with exalted are best left to bant, not soldiers, as soldiers like to attack in swarms.

For more ideas check out my soldier deck (it's standard but still kicks ass):

Thanks man for the advice! I definitely wanted a more predictable deck but struggled to give certain cards the boot. I've never used exalted really so I was tempted to give it a try too, maybe for some early game attacks? And yes, I am headed to the store to see some M10's today. I'll definitely be refining this after some testing and certainly appreciate the comments.

Exalted is great for early game but honestly, nothing that Elite vanguard can't do alone anyway. I mean, I had exalteds in mine and turn 2 swing for 3 happened a lot, but then replace them and guess what? still turn 2 swing for 3, isn't that funny? Now, instead of turn 1, akrasan turn 2 aven swing for 3 it's turn 1 vanguard, turn 2 honor of the pure swing for 3, difference is that vanguard stays a 3/2 while the others go back to being 1/1s and later in game I'm not debating if it's better to swing with aven or just run with all, it's always better in soldiers to just attack with all. Don't get lulled into baneslayer angel for soldiers though, stay on soldier course and you'll be better. I tried her out but she wasn't nearly as good as I thought for soldiers (she isn't a soldier hence she doesn't get any of the bonuses).
