The deck revolves around Darien, with a monowhite token/soldier subtheme - I'm curious for your feedback.So far the deck exists online only, I plan to test it soon in real life and see what works and what doesn't.

What I'm a bit afraid of is the reliance on Darien to stick (otherwise I'm very light on creatures) - might consider additional swiftfoot boots here.

I dislike infinity combos in Commander, so there is no "unfair" combo here.

What I'm looking forward to is Darien + Jade Monolith. I'm really sad that there are no more cards that repeatedly redirect damage from creatures to yourself.

And the power-mombo: Elspeth + Darien: Opponents attack her and I end up without any tokens :D
