Deck overview

This is a mono-white Soldier go-wide aggro deck helmed by Myrel, Shield of Argive. The plan is straightforward: flood the board with cheap Humans and Soldiers, protect the wave with an absurd density of instant-speed answers and turn-protection, then convert the swarm into lethal combat via anthems, attack triggers, and a finishing Akroma's Will. Myrel, Shield of Argive accelerates the plan by locking opponents out of interaction on your turn and minting a critical mass of Soldier tokens whenever she attacks, but the 99 already contains redundant token makers (Hero of Bladehold, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Elspeth, Storm Slayer, Lossarnach Captain) and a second copy of her static in Grand Abolisher and Voice of Victory. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins through combat inevitability backed by life-gain padding and one of the densest protection suites in the format.
