Archas - Thanks for the kind words. As far as Staff of Compleation goes I think it's alright. It would be absolutely top tier if it did damage when you tapped it. But the fact that you just pay life to do its activated ability makes it much less desirable. With that said I don't think it would be bad in the deck at all and would be playable for sure. So if you have one and want to try it out I say go for it! You could do much worse.

Love the list! Seeing a lot of similarities with my own Darien. He was the second commander I ever built, and a deck I know I will never take apart. I've gotten some funny results using Blood of the Martyr recently and I don't see many Darien decks running it. If you haven't checked it out yet I definitely recommend you give it a shot!

Dumannios - Thanks for the kind words! Also, great list and primer on your end!

I love that card! I did not realize I took that off of my Maybeboard. But then I remembered that it is in my budget deck that I have sleeved up and play occasionally too (I need to revisit that deck and make some tweaks now that I think of it). I ran BooM in my main list for the decks first few years. I agree it is a total sleeper. It got to the point where if I left three white mana open my playgroup got very suspicious and careful. Basically never had to worry about Blasphemous Act! It has been a while since it was in my main deck so it might be time to bring it back for a bit. Thanks for the recommendation!

ReticleMouse - Hello! I had to double check my verbiage in my write-up in case it was confusing. Darian is very much alive and well! I had started getting into Magic with some co-workers shortly after he was born. When I was looking to build my first deck from scratch I saw Darien, King of Kjeldor on EDHREC and knew I had to build it since the names were virtually identical. So it is special to me for that reason. I'm sorry if there was any confusion! I will reword it so it is clearer about that. I do appreciate the thoughtful comment though!

Also, side note and fun fact about him since we are on this topic. Although I no longer play WOW I did so for about 12 years. He is loosely named after a king in that game. Varian Wrynn (was the king of Stormwind and leader of the Alliance) is my favorite character in that universe. My wife also played WOW on and off and always liked Varian's name so we named him Darian and made Wrynn his middle name. So he is quite the kingly guy!
