When
people
build
Soldier
decks,
they
usually
make
them
White.
All
of
the
cards
that
make
Soldiers
a
tribe
are
White,
so
why
not?
But
other
colors
can
easily
be
added.
Red
and
Black
are
common
adds,
but
what
about
Blue?
Blue
is
certainly
not
known
for
the
aggressive
strike
force
a
Soldier
deck
relies
on.
Can
it
work?
This deck's main weak spot, like so many others, is that it has too many "one-ofs". What it needs more than anything else is to decide which cards it really needs to see every game, and which are merely taking up space that could be put to better use. I'll tell you right now, on the creature end of things Daru Warchief, Thalakos Scout, Catapult Master, Commander Eesha, and Metathran Soldier are solid gold in a deck of this nature. Next on the list are probably any creature with flying or shadow and good stats for their mana cost. Decidedly less so are Deftblade Elite and Metathran Elite to name a few. The purpose of your deck is to have lots of hard-to-block creatures. Deftblade Elite's purpose is to prevent a creature from blocking your more meaningful creatures. This will not be an issue. And Metathran Elite is only unblockable while it's enchanted, which is an unlikely scenario. Definitely go to four copies of every card listed as "gold" (except Eesha, Legends have their own considerations) and drop as many of the other creatures as necessary to make room.
As for your noncreature spells, if you're half as good at making Soldier tokens as you claim to be, then Unified Strike is a must-have-four-of card. Martyr's Cause and Fanatical Devotion, as useful as they are with token producers, just aren't that useful. Yes, you can make new tokens to replace what you sacrifice, but for what? To prevent damage and regenerate creatures? You're better off just keeping the creatures in play. Then you'll have more creatures. And with more creatures, you'll want more Glorious Anthems to maximize their potential.
That pretty much covers it. Remember, if your deck is based around a creature type, then about half the creatures in that deck should have a creature-type based ability (like Daru Warchief and Catapult Master). that should give our deck enough synergy to overwhelm the opponent. Good luck!
