This is an all soldier deck with one knight. I do pretty well with this deck and it works well. If anyone knows any cards that would help it would be nice to know them. If anyone had any suggestions on how to play it, that could be nice to. I can play it really well because I have been playing magic for about 6 years.

Autocard

[noparse] Daru Warchief [/noparse] = Daru Warchief

So to clean this up...
x4 of all your strongest cards ( Daru Warchief , Field Marshal , etc.)
x3 of anything you find effective, but you don't think think are 4-of material
A few x2 for fun, but tread lightly here.
The only excuse for including a 1-of in a deck is if the deck is stuffed with tutors (which I don't think this is).

Follow these simple guidelines, and someone might actually comment on your deck.

Oh you can use the shortcut [noparse]Soldiers
60 x * plains [/noparse] to get around all the tedious autocarding ONLY WHEN PRESENTING A DECK.

I would have to disagree with having x4 of my best cards. This would eliminate many other support soldier cards that can be helpful.

That's one of the things about getting rid of some cards. They can be helpful, but typically are not. So, try to find cards that are very situational to remove. A good example of this would be Auriok Salvagers , because you don't really have any artifacts in your deck. So his ability is basically useless to you. Plus, having 4x of Daru Warchief and the likes will be very useful to making your other creatures just that much stronger

How do you ever manage to play anything with only 13 plains?

I don't know how I do I guess it is just because I get my small creatures out first and then build up my lands.

Your deck would win about twice as fast with 18-22 plains. If you aren't playing a land a turn, you will be run over by even a casual deck And again, I highly encourage quading. Support cards are great, but would you rather draw Daru Warchief or Auriok Salvagers ? Exactly. Quading isn't cutting your support cards, it's improving your deck by putting in more of your best cards.

The quading sounds like a good idea so I will try it. Do you know of any places on Ebay where I can get cards cheap?

Don't you have a local card store you go to? Hmm... Wizards has a big list that lets you find the store closest to you...

Does anyone know where the store listings are? I haven't used them for so long I forgot where to find them.
