A first strike oriented soldier deck

Made from mostly leftover cards, an excuse to use my Gideon and Elspeth planeswalkers

Just received some new cards! Field Marshal to give them the extra boost for first strike they need.

Received both a Mobilization and a Brave the Sands, not sure which would be best to add since Mobilization creates that soldier token.

Return to the Ranks in my maybeboard cause not sure if the mana curve is enough for it? Tell me what you think!

Edit: Put in Brave the Sands, its a huge advantage - Can block huge creatures with just a 1/1 soldier + menace, and adding Elspeth, Sun's Champion usually wins me the whole game. Token maker Timely Reinforcements helps too. Replaced some of the more expensive removal with stuff like Rebuke and Divine Verdict
