This is a midrange Soldier tribal-ish deck. Its main purpose is to land Darien along with the pain lands to start powering out "free" soldiers. Ideally having Darien, painlands, and Souls Attendant gives you free guys, which you can hopefully boost with things like Field Marshall, Cathars' Crusade, or Honor of the Pure.

It has some controlling elements in it too (Karmic Guide/Sun Titan/Oblivion Stone/Emeria) so it can also go big in the late game, especially if you land Elesh Norn or an Eldrazi Monument.

It's built for french-list rules (sorry, no Sol Ring, Top, or Mana Vault), and any comments and suggestions are welcome.

The deck is running a lot more smoothly now that I've taken out some of the high cost stuff and made it more efficient at the low end. I expect that adding Mentor of the Meek will allow me to refill my hand a lot more easily (use pain lands, get soldiers, gain life back, draw cards with pain land mana) and allow me to play more threats or rebuild after a wrath.

My only issue right now is that the deck is really running on synergy with Darien. Sure cards like Mentor, Captain of the Watch, and Soul Warden are great, but they all like tokens coming into play. I need to find other ways of getting soldier tokens, perhaps Decree of Justice? Are there any other good ones I should use?
