I mean, we already have Recruiter of the Guard and we don't play more than 2 copies of that in the maindeck.

This guy has +1/+2 more power and toughness, but less tutoring/drawing power.

Try the version with 4 Winter Orb MD instead of Supp Field.

Hey, look at that! Soldier Stompy Top-8ed MKM Barcelona (a big European Legacy tournament):

Had another Legacy League 5-0, this time with MONO WHITE Soldiers:

Winter Orb is a house.

Yup - all I play on MTGO is the competitive leagues and challenges when I play Legacy...

Welp, after top8ing the last Legacy Challenge with Eldrazi Ramp, I decided to give Boros Soldiers a spin again and today I just 5-0ed a Legacy League with it again.

The deck feels quite strong and...

Suppression Field is a terrible card and I don't really see why people think otherwise. For me, the disruption has to have a permanent, meaningful effect. With SField, they can just play around it or...

Went 5-0 in a Legacy League on MTGO with the red Soldiers list.

I'm going to try some more Leagues and Challenges and see how well I can do with the deck. Seems well positioned right now against...

4 Windswept Heath
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Cavern of Souls
2 Plateau
2 Karakas
2 Plains
2 City of Traitors

4 Chrome Mox
4 Chalice of the Void

I've been testing the Red splash build lately.

Magus of the Moon x 4 MD is even better now that Recruiter of the Guard has been printed. And Goblin Legionaire is still good and fetchable by...

Stomping Grounds Games in Hatboro, PA...

I recently made Top 4 at a Legacy $1k with the above list.

Here's what I faced:

Rd1: 2-1 vs. 12post: Winter Orb does the trick here, and Preeminent Captain is too fast a clock.
Rd2: 2-1 vs....

I've been having quite a bit of success playtesting this list online (on xmage):

4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4 Thalia, Heretic Cathar
4 Preeminent Captain
4 Fairgrounds Warden
3 Ballyrush...

Why not play 2-3 Recruiter of the Guard MD and then 3-4 Leonin Relic-Warder in the SB?

My solution is 2-3 Recruiter of the Guard MD and then play at least 2+ Leonin Relic-Warder in the SB.

I'm still doing testing with the list.

Winter Orb is one of those cards that does something good nearly in every matchup. Even against a Delver deck you can occasionally tempo them out with a fast...

Kor Skyfisher is the best flying soldier you can get for 2 mana, essentially. The drawback is a real drawback some of the time when you just have to bounce a land, but most of the time it's not...

The Turn 0/1 decks are the same problem level for this deck as they are for every other Non-Force-of-Will deck in the format. Sometimes they just have the win on Turn 1 and you can't do anything...

Wow.

I think this deck is finally the real deal.

I've been testing extensively against tier decks with my latest posted list and even though it is not 100% optimized I literally have something...

New Fairgrounds Warden card is pretty sick. It's even more of what this deck needed - spot removal that can be drawn with Enlistment Officer and cheated into play with Preeminent Captain.

I'm...

The weakness to Wasteland isn't as pronounced as you'd make it seem. Because the deck usually plays 5+ basic Plains and 4 Chrome Mox, it usually doesn't get locked out of white mana often by...

Got some testing in with the new cards on Cockatrice (because they aren't available on MTGO OR on Xmage yet).

This just in -

PALACE JAILER IS INSANE. I cannot emphasize this enough. This guy is...

Mirror Entity is too mana intensive from my testing. You want your lord effects to be as cheap as possible.

The "monarch" mechanic makes this new Jailer card not quite as good as Fiend Hunter,...

Wow! They printed a tutor soldier?!


First Thalia 2.0 and now this? They're just begging me to play this deck again!

The big draw for me that Soldiers always had were the following:

- Thalia, Guardian of Thraben: often uncounterable Thorn of Amethyst on a 2/1 body that can sometimes come down turn one off a...
