Description of deck by its author (quoted):
What're the Soldiers Doin' in the Mess Hall? Gobblin'. How I wound up making a Goblin deck for Soldier week is about as convoluted as that joke. I decided I wanted to highlight Decree of Justice, an eye-popping Soldier card from Scourge. Never mind that it makes multiple Angels (which is nuts by itself), but for X2W, you get X Soldier tokens plus a card at the end of your opponent's turn. Now that's a recruitment drive! I realized that worked even better with a Sunstrike Legionnaire in play because you would create X tokens, tap X creatures, and then be all set to attack.

Sunstrike Legionnaire naturally reminds me of Goblin Sharpshooter, which has a similar but opposite untap condition. All three cards brought to mind Siege-Gang Commander, a Scourge Goblin that creates token creatures (which powers up the Legionnaire) and kills those same creatures (which powers up the Sharpshooter). All four cards brought to mind the Apocalypse enchantment Goblin Trenches, which creates Goblin Soldier tokens! I was already having synergy overload before adding Goblin Legionnaire (another Goblin Soldier), Mobilization (another token generator with a Soldier bonus), and Keldon Necropolis (another way to sacrifice your tokens for damage).
