A basic soldier-based deck Help?

Could remove some Elixir and... Well, I'm not sure, but something more, and instead add in Spirit Mantle and 2-4 more lands, running with only 18 lands without any ramp seems a bit risky to me.

Did you only use M13? I'd recommend you take a look at some of Innistrad's soldiers and get some more one or two mana creatures. If you take a look, right now, the best you can do is attack with a 2/1 flyer on turn three, plus a 2/2 or 3/3 on turn 4. You need some creatures to come into play earlier, even if only to make your falcon attack while it can. Champion of the parish is perfect for that, or Doomed traveler if you need something easier to get your hands on. In order to add this, I think you could take out the elixirs and maybe one or two Safe Passage (which is almost useless once you have Odric, in my opinion). Also, you usually want to have 20 to 24 lands in your deck, otherwise you'll often be short. Hope this helps!
I absolutely never run more than 19 lands in a mono deck, and I've had problems on very few occasions. I think you're right about pulling down creature costs tho! I'll take out elixir and add Champ of the Parrish, and some other changes.
However, if you strongly urge I add more mana, I will do so. Just usually stubborn about it.
With the changes you've made, I guess your curve makes more sense so you just might be able to make it with 19 lands. The best is just to test it and see if you can usually get your threats on the battlefield early enough in the game. If not, add some more mana in there.
Makes sense! I appreciate the feedback. Any deck you'd like me to check out?
Well, if you could take a look at my self-mill deck, that would be nice. ^^ I created it quite a while ago and kept tweaking it, but I'm not sure about the spells I use to back the deck, and I don't know what to do with the sideboard. (Of course, any other comments and suggestions can be helpful.)
