Pretty solid deck i've been using to grind through ranks in expediton, currently Diamond 3 ranked up from Gold 2 only using this brew, around 65-70% win rate, depending if the card shuffler is kind or not.

Might seem weak at a first glance but some cards are absolute sleepers.
Shock Troops is one of those.
Best opening hand scenario is Logistics Expert + one or two Shock Troops and Cast Out.
T1 Expert, T2 one Troops or two if going first and the board is clear, followed by Cast Out (on the next turn if double troops) to bounce an enemy unit and amplifying by exhausting the Expert, netting you a bonus unit that can chump block flying units and Troops procs.
I don't know how many games i've won just because of this neat little combo.

Asri Scout is another sleeper that i rarely see used in these kinds of decks and coupled with the multiple 0 to 1 cost amplyfing cards in the deck can absolutely wreck enemies on turn 4 onwards. It is somewhat of a removal magnet but that's not the worst thing, since if you pilot the deck well enough, every little unit can become a threat with Call On Allies (don't use it when you still need power/mana fixing though, it basically will negate any chance to draw sigils or power cards for 1+ turns)

Martial Efficiency and Auren Jailer Amplify effects are basically a 1 mana "this stealth unit can suck it" so i you know you're going against stuff like Azindel, Mastermind keep those open to deny its ultimate once it's your turn.

Bastion Garrison is an awesome card and often a game ender, but it's not strictly needed so worry not if you don't draw it or it gets removed, one spell on that mean one spell not casted on Asri Scout that often is way more game ending.

Kanya, Ironthorn Envoy can be a hit or miss, altough even a single proc from her is still ramp (meaning more mana to play Amplify costs) and at 10 mana she's another game ender since you usually end up swarming the field a lot with this deck.

Iron Priestess + Call On Allies means that you'll get a 5/5+ weapon when she dies and nobody expect a 7/7 Speed Grafter charging face on turn 4.

Argo Ironthorn is a neat legendary, that loses against very few cards, like Sandstorm Titan that is currently heavily played in the meta, so you gotta find alternative ways to deal with it, Cast Out and Rune of Relocation usually fit this spot.
Talking about the Runes, remember that their effect is an Amplify, so enjoy the procs from the many cards that benefit from those.

Gavel's Insight is only 2x as it's mainly for relic hate, you usually don't need many combat tricks in this deck. but it is nice to have without having to fetch it from the market.

Now, on Market matters: it's basically a "got an answer for that" kind of market, rather than a "lemme fetch this closer" one.
Behold the Truth to end games when swarming:
Xumuc Whisper to counter permastuns like Manacles and Permafrost since both are staples in 9 out of 10 Primal or Justice decks;
Disjunction to fetch back a removed Bastion Garrison or to remove annoying non-relic attachments;
Meditative Trance to counter Dichro's Ruin deck. Haven't seem them played much lately but having it in the market doesn't hurt;
Onoris Roa to counter spellsinger decks, to top up some life if needed and he's both a soldier with decent stats and a card with amplify, so a nice pick if you have mana to waste.

I basically build this as an anti meta deck, as right now it answers many annoying cards or usually beats in value control decks, it's also decently kitted against aoe dmg wipes.
Mass wipes and landscrew are basically its only "i'm gonna lose this game" factor i've found so far.

This should cover everything about this deck, now i hope i won't get to match against people who have red this guide since you know everything about what my main brew can do lmao
Enjoy soldierswaming!
