Hey all! New to the format, old to the game... I thought I'd share my soldiers with everyone after enjoying reading everyone else's lists.
20x Plains
4x Raise the Alarm
4x Bonesplitter
4x Honor of the Pure
4x Brave the Elements
4x Hada Freeblade
4x Kazandu Blademaster
4x Field Marshal
4x Kor Aeronaut
4x Kor Duelist
4x Soldier of the Pantheon
I'm not sure what to get as a sideboard. I haven't been down to a game yet as I just blew the dust off my cards after awhile and ordered a couple things for other casual decks. Any ideas would be great.
Me and the wife started an NFL.com fantasy league.
Standard scoring,
Playoffs week 15 & 16 for the top 4 teams,
10 Teams,
League votes majority for/against trades.
We have about 5 seats left open for anybody that's interested. Hit me up and I will send you an invite.
Last year I just went with random public leagues to avoid the headache of getting it all together, but I hated not having everybody actually play and set their rosters each week. Please only message me if you're serious. I understand the occasional blunder and forgetting to bench an injured player or something, but please at least make an effort.
We play with some banned cards. Griselbrand is in Kaalia. Omnath has both a Sylvan Primordial and a Primeval Titan. Everyone in the small group that we have is cool with it, so why not? If anyone were ever to object I wouldn't have any problem in replacing them, though.
I find it to be great in my Aurelia deck..she focuses on multiple combat phases and/or double strike with creatures wearing Swords/Jitte/Etc. in order to get more mileage out of my collection, so more often than not I'm getting anywhere between 4-8 Jitte counters per turn. The utility is just awesome.
Okay, I've done some playing around with my new stuff and here's my report.
Baneslayer Angel is absolutely ridiculous. So cheap to play, and so very good against Kaalia in particular. (I guess I could include that I play against my wife primarily and her favorite deck is Kaalia, so I see it quite often.)
I only got to play with Avacyn once, but she won me the game. We had decent sized armies staring eachother down, each knowing that the one to attack would be the one to suffer more casualties, and she cast Diabolic Tutor..I had a Reverberate and I searched out Avacyn and dropped it, followed by Aurelia and ended up winning by smashing face. Puresteel Paladin's card draw actually kept me afloat in one game by letting me dig a little for lands after sort of a mana screw. Tajic is a house. He survived a few wrath's and kept on swinging his sword..I am very happy to have him. I have not used Slayer's Stronghold of Akroma yet, but it's Akroma.
I currently have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Restoration Angel/Zealous Conscripts combos in here. I'm starting to feel like I want to remove them, though. I just can't tutor consistently enough to find creatures and I think I could fill those slots with more threatening creatures..Although I do have to admit that Kiki-Jiki churning out additional Stoneforge Mystics every turn is nothing to mess with.
I feel like the next changes will be taking out Kiki, Resto Angel, and Conscripts to replace them with Land Tax, Austere Command, and I believe that I want an extra artifact/enchantment destruction spell. I'm thinking Wear//Tear, but I'm not sure.
We do one free mulligan for a 0-1 land hand, unless you have a Sol Ring or something like that. After that, or if you didn't like your opener but still had land, it's draw one less for each mulligan you take.
I use 2 fat pack boxes to hold all 5 of my decks and my ever-growing stack of tokens. 3x 99 card single sleeved decks, separated by their commanders in top loaders, will fit into each box. I keep the commanders in top loaders until they get bounced/tucked/etc., because I always forget and shuffle the boss into the deck. I like to have actual tokens for every card I play..I hate the look of erasers fighting packs of rolling papers when a goblin and a goat throw down. I even drew various plants and Pea Shooters from Plants VS Zombies onto blank World Champ cards to represent 0/1 plants made by Khalni Garden and Avenger of Zendikar

Describes the deck fairly well IMO.
