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

The main point of this deck is to thin itself out, letting you get the cards you need to win faster

I know I could probable make a killer Soldier deck with cards that produce Soldier Tokens, but that isnt the point of this deck. The point of this deck is to win with out the aid of soldier tokens. If I could afford more Warchiefs there would be +2 warcheifs -1 afterlife, -1 formation

Deck discussion for Real Soldier

You don't really need Soldier Tokens in a good strong Soldier deck, but a card like Captain of the Watch is still needed. And if you really don't want tokens then you should really add Veteran Armorsmith and Veteran Swordsmith.

Here, check out my "non-token" soldier deck, you might get some idea's:

I understand your point of why Captian of the Watch is a good card, but with only 12-14 mana producing land, I do not think haviung to many six cmc cards. Even the two I do have I can sneak in with morph. I have won games with this deck, so I know it works. What would you take out for the Smiths? I might be able to squeeze a two set of both if I remove my white counter spells.. Besides that I really do not see any way to get cards in without increase the deck above sixty. If this is rude, I am sorry, just fixed deck and wanted you to know my logic.

Oke, you got some good idea's there :) But with such a low land count, you might put in some less Control and a bit more aggro :)

You could also change your fetch lands with cards like Flooded Strand or Marsh Flats. They might cost you life, but they increase the speed of the deck.

Um good ideas. If I wasnt a poor college kid, I do mean really no money, I would justify paying 13$+ for Flooded Strands.

I do understand your more aggro point, I am known in my casual group as THE blue mage, so any other aggro sugestions?

Though a risky option have a look at the card Endless Horizons, it's a pretty hefty thinning card though

You should find a way to fit in Preeminent Captain, very useful for getting the your bigger soldiers out and it very useful way of making Captain of the Watch work. Maybe some Sword to Plowshares as well :D
Oh and you should tell me what you think of my soldier deck :D
