Soldiers (suggestions?)

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

Mono white Soldier deck. Please help/fix/make suggestions.

and I do believe that Mikaeus, the Lunarch is searchable by Ranger of Eos.
Which means fun play = Swing with Preeminent Captain, drop an attacking Ranger, search Mikaeus and a buddy

Explanations:
1-drops-a-plenty: Allows for less land, targets for Ranger's search ability, and I took what I believe to be the best amounts of the best available 1-drop white soldiers.

Brave the elements: Free full swing against mono-colored deck? Cheap protection for all my dudes? Thank you sir, may I have another?

Preeminent Cpt, Field Marshall: Soldier Lords as far as I'm concerned

Mikaeus: Nasty white creature, despite not being a soldier. Searchable as mentioned.

The rest of the picks should be fairly self-explanatory.

I'm not terribly worried about building a sideboard, but if you know a solid setup for this deck then feel free to let me know.

I like the general idea for what you're trying here. Mite I suggest adding some equipment for the soldiers to wield? Sword of War and Piece maybe? Or even a Jitte or two?

I definitely considered going the equipment route.
This was my thought process while brewing:
>>I could go equipment...
>>Make use of Dispatch with the metalcraft? That's a solid 1-drop
>>Okay, what are some good equipment (the swords of course)
>>Well Swords of X & Y are out of my price range...
>>Infiltration Lens? Bonesplitter?
>>But... what would I take out?

and after a lot of thinking I decided that using swords would be the only way that sacrificing deck space to equipment would be worth it.

Also, it looks like Sword of Fire and Ice would be the best one (I any draw power outside of the tutor that I run 3 of, and prot blue-red is perfect)

It boiled down to a matter of cost. I don't want to drop that much money on what is essentially a casual deck at this point in time (though owning some of the swords would certainly be beneficial for when I do hit up tourneys)
