My first deck, after several rounds of playing, getting destroyed, adding colors, and finally coming back to my senses.

The main focus is to get 1/1 white Soldier Tokens out, then buffing their power and toughness with Veteran Armorsmith, Veteran Weaponsmith, Captain of the Watch, Obelisk of Urd, etc.

Elspeth is great for getting out more soldiers, as well as buffing them with her Emblem.

A few cards are their to help counter/kill the enemy, but most focus on the creatures.

Murder Investigation can also be incredible when placed on a creature that has been buffed, as it makes the cost of killing it is me gaining several more buffed creatures.

I would love to see a replacement for a few cards like Standing Troops, Wall of Essence, Mastery of the Unseen, and others so that I have only soldier creatures and maybe can buff them even more.

Getting this to standard legal would also be amazing, but the people I often play with aren't picky.
