A simple deck meant to represent a complete Legion, with Soldiers, Officers, Medics (Clerics), Scouts (Angels), etc.

No real tricks here, there are 2 simple strategies; go wide and tap, or build up your Indestructible Commander to kill with Commander damage. You can easily do both at the same time. Extra combats can get you there. Going wide helps trigger Tajic's Battalion.

Neat Moves

{RW} Ramp
Land Tax does wonders with Terrain Generator.
Knight of the White Orchid, Terramorphic Expanse & Secluded Steppe are recurrable by Sun Titan . You can tutor Tithe with Sunforger, seek Mistveil Plains with it, then tuck Tithe back into your deck to play again.

{RW} Card Draw
Avarice Amulet on Tajic is nice, no downside.
Mentor of the Meek & Inspiring Commander can draw you lots of cards with all the tokens you can create. Either are important enough to put Swiftfoot Boots on.
Skullclamp is also excellent with all these tokens.
Vanquisher's Banner does its usual work here.

{RW} Eldrazi Buildings
With Hanweir Battlements   & Hanweir Garrison   you can create Hanweir, the Writhing Township     . I have only succeeded in melding this once, but it was like a challenge unlocked.

{RW} Tutoring
Sunforger offers a few options, Boros Charm being a lifesaver at times.

{RW} The Power of Extra Combats
Aggravated Assault is nuts in this deck, so many cards have "whenever ~ attacks" which triggers each time and are cumulative! Pumping with Agrus Kos, Adriana, Captain of the Guard or Marton Stromgald, recurrence with Sun Titan, tricks with Preeminent Captain, tokens with Hanweir Garrison  , etc.

Possible Upgrades

Upgrades Under Consideration:

I think I need 2 more draw effects, 2 more targeted removal spells, 2 more wipes and a defensive spell.

Cards I Would Have To Buy:

None at this time.

Cards I Already Own, Or Are On Order:

Metallic Mimic, Adaptive Automaton & Soltari Champion are Soldier Lords
Chaos Warp or Crush Contraband - for targeted removal
Finale of Glory and Launch the Fleet and Deploy to the Front - tokens
Veteran's Armaments - decent equipment
Court Street Denizen, Keen-Eared Sentry, Reverent Hoplite, are all decent soldier choices and would fill out the team if I go hard on creatures and lower the Artifact/Enchantment count.

Coming Release Cards Under Consideration:

None at this time.
