Just remember with preeminemt captain that any ability like Tajic, or wojek do not trigger when they enter the battlefield.blaze commando is wasted as boros charm in the only damage spell you have.Red/White soldiers is my favorite so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

alright it stopped be from editing this so imma post it again here goeshttp://www.mtgvault.com/horizonblue/decks/honor-of-the-legion/that's my red/white soldiers. It's a little more over your budget but it might give you ideas for cards. Just remember with preeminemt captain that any ability like Tajic, or wojek do not trigger when they enter the battlefield. I think your mana curve is pretty high. It may be because you are counting on Preeminent captain to get soldiers out for cheap, but if that's the case you might want to add 4 of them. you don't want to have a hand full of 4-6 CMC cards in your hand and no land to play them. I kind of like the idea of running a set of Spark troopers with a few preeminent captains but personally I chose Fondry Champion because if you have 6 soldiers on the field, Drop Foundry. now you have 7. deal 7 damage to the player and they have an extra 4/4 to deal with. you can always add Boros Battleshaper but keep in mind you will just be bringing him into play for no mana. His ability will only proc the next time he attacks.Blaze commando is wasted as boros charm in the only damage spell you have. Some people might overlook it but I think Brave the Sands is a pretty underrated card. Vigilance and you are better able to block tokens or whatever your enemy throws at you. you could maybe swap it out for Blind Obedience. it's up to you. I would drop the Heroic soldiers and procs for something that would benefit all your soldiers. Honor of the Pure, Spear of Heloid, Field Marshall(expensive), Paragon of the New Dawn(cheaper version for 1 more cmc) I personally like Mentor of the Meed a lot because in a semi-agro deck like soldiers can be your hand runs out quick and you are left playing card to card. so if you drop Raise the Alarm or have Assemble the Legion you can pay 1 each time a creatures comes into play and draw a card for it. It's fantastic. I'm telling you. Soldiers are definitely not Competitive modern but in casual you can have a lot of fun playing them. if you wanted to keep this pretty darn budget I'd start with4x Boros Elite4x Precinct Captain2x Honor of the Pure2x Spear of Heloid *or 3 honor of the pure and 1 spear, it won't affect your mana curve too much*4x Raise the Alarm2x Assemble the Legion2x Mentor of the Meek4x Clifftop Retreat * my favorite style of Dual land and it's cheaper than shock land* I'd say this is semi-required as you don't want to use lands that come into play tapped. it will slow the deck downThen fill in the blanks with whatever your playstyle likes.that's 20 spells and 4 lands. now I build all my decks to 61 cards just to be different so that would leave you room for about 18 other cards that suit what you want to do with the deck. Without Clifftop retreat it comes to around $7. With clifftop it's right at $20 but I'm telling you. even though they are $3.50 a piece they are worth it. In my opinion if you can't run those or a shock land. run basic land.Red/White soldiers is my favorite so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
What do you think about it now, I at least want to keep Anax and Cymede for an easy finish with the trample.TBH Im kinda new to soldiers and only just recently got more into MTG. I really like multi color decks so thats why I wanna make a red/white soldier deck.
Instead of Anax and Cymede I would rather run Brave the elements, choose the color of your opponents creatures, then all your creatures are unblockable by creatures of that color. And even so you are gaining trample from Legion Loyalist at a far less cmc. So because of that I would cut Both Anax and Cymede, both Glory of Warfare, and all four coordinated assault. Run 4 brave the elements and 4 boros Elite. Just because you want to keep your CMC down as much as possible. you have a lot of creatures with a cmc of 4 or higher and you wouldn't want your hand to fill with those waiting for a preeminent captain that could possibly be destroyed before you get to use his ability. Paragon of the New Dawn is also better than captain of the watch In my opinion. Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of the card because it's 4 creatures for 6 cmc and you gain a +1 +1 ability, But it's just expensive. Soldiers are in my opinion a mid to fast speed agro deck.I think Goblins are by far faster, But with a soldier deck it's all about speed and pressure. attack fast, get creatures out fast. They aren't a deck that you are able to bide your time and plan your big finale attack. Building your own deck from scratch is trial and error. I am constantly changing two or three cards in my Soldier deck almost weekly to fine tune it. find certain combo's that work. I would maybe cut Preeminent captain to 2, or 3 then Find maybe 4 cards that really work well with his ability. Heck, you could run a full set of Spark troopers. I think that would be awesome as everytime you put one down your going to gain 6 life if it's attack lands. In this deck that might work better than Foundry Champion. Heck I might change out Foundry Champion and work 3 Shock Troopers in my deck. The more I look at them the more I like them. and if you have spear or honor of the pure out, that lifelink is going to gain you more life.
