War Is Upon You

by Claeb on 13 November 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (8 cards)

Creatures (2)


Instants (2)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Soldier deck! The strategy with this is pretty straight forward. Play as many low cost creatures as you can and buff them for a quick kill. However, most of these soldiers have a lasting effect from the spells you play.

Favored Hoplite only grows stronger the more you target him.
Phalanx Leader further increases the strength of all your soldiers.
Akroan Hoplite benefits from the growing ranks.
Sovereign and Arrester help you sneak in that damage early on when you need it most, especially with a Fencing Ace powered with Titan's Strength on the front lines.

Any help (definitely with sideboard) would be appreciated!

How to Play

Turn one: Land, Favored Hoplite/ Soldier of Pantheon
Turn two: Land, Akroan Hoplite/ Phalanx Leader
Turn three: Coordinated Tactics, Boros Charm, Dauntless Onslaught, more creatures.
You see what's going on here..

I LOVE IT! Looks fast and annoying, my cup of tea... with honey... and biscuits, mmmmm biscuits. But on the real sauce this looks solid and officially challenge you to a duel... your opponent shall be....

you might not like my suggestion but that pegasus that is a 1/3 white in theros is a good play to have turn 2 also because it flies and it's hard to get rid of a 1/3 if playing another aggro deck.

I Do Like The Suggestion, However, It Is A 1/1. It May Make A Good Replacement For Arrester, But I Do Like The Immediate Benefit From Him. I Will Pla TeSt Both. Thank You FOr The Feedback!

Since you have a lot of heroic, you may consider Martial Glory.
+3/+0 to one creature and +0/+3 to that same one or another, for 2 mana. It hits multiple targets and is low mana cost enough to be a great combat trick

I Saw That Spell Earlier! I Was Debating On What I Could Replace It With. I Do Have To Be Careful Because I target My Soldier Of The Pantheon With It. ThanksFor The Feedback!

this is dope. I think Cavalry Pegasus would go great in this. I've also seen Flamespeaker Adept do some serious early damage in a deck similar to this but there would need to be more scrying for that to work.

I agree, I like the Arrester but the Pegasus could give some evasion to the entire squad... I know its a Human Deck but I have seen that horse do work in the past.

I Do Think I Will Switch To The Pegasus Though. The Adept Would Be Great, But I'm Not A Fan Of It's Mana Cost. I Like To Keep The Curve On Creatures Low

I Like The Way You Think. I'm Just Worried About Not Getting The Land I Need Early On, But 3 Mana Is Where ThE Damage Output Gets High. Would You Recommend Two More Instants Like Martial Glory?

You might want to drop Soldier of the Pantheon for Akroan Crusader or something similar. I know the Soldier is dope, but 1/3 of your heroic tricks are multicolored and so can't target him. Getting stuffed up by your own rare makes a player a Sad Panda.

I couldn't agree more. Made the change. The extra token generation definitely helps, too. Last night's FNM yielded pretty good results. I definitely see improvements to be made. Possibly some removal. I'm thinking Magma Jets in place of Titan's Strength

i love the concept but i gotta recommend maining brave the elements for so many good reasons it makes my head hurt. free damage pushes for games....easy protection in a format that is having an love affair with destruction and above all else ITS ONE PLAINS to use it man. dont side that. run it mained. always run it mained. id drop the martial glorys for the brave the elements. marital glory does do good things but they just arent as good as what you could be doing with brave the elements.

Brave is soooo good. It is a game winner! I run it in my B/W Devotion deck.
