Creature (136)


- - - Version 1.2 - - - 11/19/23


Pure Soldier Tribal with Immard, the Stormcleaver / Guile, Sonic Soldier. Numot, the Devastatorfoil was the original commander. No emphasis on land destruction though. The dragon was there for the colors and if I run out of things to cast. Good tech for Cabal Coffers, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, and Maze of Ith too. The commander was a bit of a red herring. I made Guile, Sonic Soldier/Immard, the Stormcleaver the commander later. He was released well after this deck was originally devised and right before I built it. I took him out of the ninety-nine and made him commander after a bit. Numot's land destruction made people really salty. I could promise up and down that I wasn't going to use it but most people thought I was gunning for their dumbass lands.

This deck was originally just an exercise in making Jeskai Soldiers, but I pulled a pre-release Siege Veteran *f-pre* so I was inspired to make the deck. The new soldiers from Brothers' War seemed fun too.


I'm was trying to keep the non-soldier cards fairly budget. Mostly. That 7th Edition Coat of Arms was in my collection already. I had the Sun Quan, Lord of Wu in my collection too so I had to throw him in. Otherwise the deck is super fair aggro. Mega fair.

It ended up a bit lighter on removal than I'd like and could probably use a few more draw spells.

Too many anthems? Is that possible with Soldiers? So far doesn't seem like it.

Part of me wants to run a +1/+1 counter subtheme and take advantage of all the cards that help with that like Abzan Falconer, Dusk Legion Duelist, Herald of Secret Streams, etc. I could then run Cathars' Crusade, and some proliferate stuff that would also help Immard, the Stormcleaver. Seems like a major overhaul and not really worth the time.

Newish cards to consider/remember: Show


Cards with an SL are cards I own. Cards with an MP are potential cuts.

Updates Add

Added: Conjurer's Closet and Flawless Maneuver

Removed Precinct Captain and Fanatical Devotion

Precinct Captain was always a bit underwhelming. Not awful, but I am not hurting for cheap Soldiers either. Flawless Maneuver seemed like it was a strict upgrade over Fanatical Devotion, and I had one in my collection. FD didn't get drawn much the last eight or so months, so I don't have a good feeling if it was a hidden gem or not very good. Since it wasn't very memorable I'm gonna assume it wasn't fantastic. Still, seems good with lots of tokens.

Still looking to maybe add True Conviction and another blink effect like Teleportation Circle or Thassa, Deep-Dwelling. I'm still aiming for pure soldier tribal, but having a few things to get my commander's charge counters back has been useful. I have some Stroke of Midnights that could maybe go in for Path of Ancestry
