Time to spawn tokens! Darien has officially become my new commander, and I've created a deck commemorating him. Here's the layout:

Super spawn!

Darien, King of Kjeldor + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Karma or Royal Decree. Each of your turns, get a shit ton of tokens. Each of your opponents turns, they lose a shit ton of life. Double life if a Healer of the Pride is on the field, or if you have two +1 life creatures out. Adding damage-dealing artifacts and lands also help with spawning. Torture Chamber is basically cumulative upkeep: put a soldier on the field. Ancient Tomb, Mana Vault, and other such cards allow ramp as well as soldiers.

We need more mana!

Ramping artifacts such as Mana Vault and Thran Dynamo allow speedy mana access, and being this is a mono colored deck, Caged Sun, Gauntlet of Power, and Extraplanar Lens are neccesary for buffs and mana ramp abilities.

Why not infinite?

Blasting Station was made for infinite. Sacking a soldier and dealing damage to yourself spawns another soldier, so Healer of the Pride or Cathars' Crusade make infinite happen like magic.

The Beatdown

As a finishing move after spawning all those soldiers, throwing down Phyrexian Rebirth, Eldrazi Monument, or Coat of Arms will provide a respectable beatdown that your opponents cannot deny. Unless they're running blue. Then they'll deny everything.

Give me a comment if you have any praise or suggestions to give me, or if you just want to give a +1, I'm cool with that too.
