Deck discussion for Solider Deck

I'm fairly sure you mean Soldiers.

But, sarcastic comments aside, I can safely say I like this deck much more than your other one. Admittedly, it's because the other one consists of Twinklepires, but nonetheless.

Now, on to the analysis...
While it IS a Soldier deck, you have waaaaay too many 1x cards in here. Your best chance is to condense your creatures down into a good core of easy-to-play, trustworthy cards that won't cost too much in the long run. And, of course, they are to be Soldiers, obviously from your deck name, unless they are meant to be a more solid base (sorry if you miss the bad pun). So, that means the Missionaries and the Shield-Bearers get tossed by default. Why the Shield-Bearers, you ask? Yes, they're Soldiers, but you have ONE Defender card in the entire deck, so his synergy bonus is null. Toss him for something better, my friend.

You're trying to make the Soldier deck into a control/soldier deck. And I hate to say it, but it's not working. You again focus on the 1x cards in your spell list, which, unless they are rare or a not as often played card, is sheer ridiculousness. 1x is saved for Highlander and EDH formats and hard to come by cards, not weenie decks. In my opinion, the U can just be tossed to make way for a more unified white weenie deck. And, wait, wait... Where is your Vanguard?! W for a 2/1 Soldier and he's nowhere in sight...... Sadness.

On to your interesting mix of Enchantments. First off, the drop list: ALL.
None of this actually helps your deck achieve its goal, so why's it there? Add in a Honor of the Pure or two to buff your W Soldiers, and wreak havoc with armies. After, that's what a pack of Soldiers is called. Though this might be a rabble.

Agreed, far too many singles, and absolutely no synergy, which is essential to standard deck construction. Personally, I like to take 10 types of cards that work well together, and get 4 each, it's always been simple and effective for me. If you're going to continue with the soldier deck, PLEASE put in 2 Gideon and 2 Elspeth. For the next 3 weeks the white armorsmith and swordsmith will still be standard, so put in two each of those too. If you have them, Emeria, the Sky Ruin is a great addition to any white deck.
