I've been teaching my daughter how to play , and she's been really interested in Tiny Leaders since I've been working on a bunch of decks for it. She wants me to to build her a deck with Brimaz as it's commander. Soldiers seems like the obvious choice, and an easy theme for a beginner.
There are a few auto-includes like Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, and Field Marshall. I'm also thinking Champion of the Parish and Precinct Captain. But there are literally hundreds of soldiers in print so I was wondering If I could get some suggestions for what some the best soldiers to include in a deck like this.
Thanks in advance!

I don't always play Jank, but when I do, I play Saffronolive.
Don't stress too much about getting the perfect deck together, focus on building one that she can use to learn. Include relevant evergreen mechanics so she can get a feel for how to play the game. I'd avoid complicated cards like Anafenza because Bolster is kind of weird.
Make sure she has some flying, first strike, double strike, vigilance, protection (technically no longer evergreen but still very relevant). A few cards off the top of my head that would be a good idea...

Thanks for the suggestions PopeJP, I've got this list for starters, I've decided to go with a life-gain sub-theme for her deck. It's a good introduction to triggered abilities.
