Dude, I feel Crusader of Odric (one of your favorites) would be good in here. Also, I'm not entirely sure of the wording as I'm linking it, but I feel like Dragon Throne of Tarkir does something that could behave pretty nicely in this deck, especially if it combos with Jazal Goldmane. Idk, I'm just picturing a giant army of 8/8 soldiers or something swinging like a bunch of bad men.

Huh, so after previewing this, I realize Dragon Throne does not combo with Jazal. But put it on that Crusader of Odric, or Avacyn...

I'm thinking that if you want to make this a creature token deck Darien, King of Kjeldor would be a better commander

Glory, City of Shadows, and Martyr's Cause all seem pretty good. I might look at adding them to my Jazal deck, Tokenwhacker. Regardless of it not really being a 'combo,' I've found Dragon Throne of Tarkir to be quite good. Between it and Jazal you can easily make a an army of double-striking 20/20s. Though it is true that you can't pump with Jazal to grow the guy on the throne. : (

Weathered Wayfarer is a favorite in my deck, I feel like you run even more weird lands than me so it'd be even better for you.

Doom_of_Valyria Hey mister, im def gonna add Crusader of Odric because she works so well in token decks. I never thought about Dragon Throne of Tarkir, but that could be pretty sweet, especially on something big.

Havok.Bane Darien, King of Kjeldor was one card that stood out when looking for a legendary to be a commander. I will have to rethink that, because that could be a great fit.

deathtouch_roadrunner Weathered Wayfarer is absolutely going in. Not sure how I overlooked that because its in my Aurelia, the Warleader edh deck. And I absolutely love weird lands. Check out ManaBase Crafter. They can be a little slow with updating (they dont have c14 on there yet), but they have every land that can fit your color(s)

Would you say Eidolon of Countless Battles is better or worse than Crusader of Odric?

November 11, 2014 12:29 a.m.

deathtouch_roadrunner Since there are no auras in this deck their effects are exactly the same, but Eidolon of Countless Battles does have the ability to bestow, so it can be a creature buff, id have to say eidolon is the better choice. And I have a few sitting around that can easily be wedged in there.

Land Tax would be great to help pump up the mana.

THANK YOU for using Frontline Medic . Its an amazing card and I feel it is under used. Also, the Retaliate plus Darien, King of Kjeldor combo is really amazing, and even better if used with Children of Korlis , which i'm surprised isn't in there. / l l_ _ _ _ l _ _ _ _l l l l+1 for all that l

I used to have a King EDH years ago and I always struggled with ways to kind of finish the job. But in recent years so many field buffs have dropped for white weeiny that I think this deck looks stellar. Really like City of Brass with him, never thought of that!

If you don't cry

"And creatures in Library now-a-shuffled

Shall think themselves accursd they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispins Turn!"

Each time you swing, you're playing this deck wrong.

Evangel of Heliod since you have Heliod and the evangel can enter giving you a lot of dudes in the right scenario

Awesome Deck! I might suggest Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and maybe some pain artifacts like Mana Crypt to get the ball rolling for Darien

Mana Vault would also work nicely

I like it.

What's City of Brass doing in there?

January 31, 2015 8:11 p.m.

when it cuts you, you get a person

January 31, 2015 8:16 p.m.

Ancient Tomb would be great in here

January 31, 2015 8:18 p.m.

The_Boat_Man with Darien's effect, I can use City of Brass to give me free soldier tokens

Conqueror_of_Thrones Oh I get it! That's are really cool combo.

Intangible Virtue would be great. Maybe Ajani Steadfast also?

Maybe relevant, since you like taking damage : First Response

And since you have a LOT of tokens : Seraph of the Masses

And maybe MORE tokens : Triplicate Spirits, Shrine of Loyal Legions Akroan Horse

Anyway, this is a +1 from me!

February 5, 2015 1:07 p.m.

her Karzalar thanks for the suggestiions!

I really like First Response and i completely forgot about Seraph of the Masses, but they both will certainly be going in. I also like Shrine of Loyal Legions, and will more than likely pick that one up as well. While I like Ajani Steadfast (and will more than likely grab one for hs -2 alone), the only downside to him would be his ult which would eliminate any token production from Darien, but it could be great late game.

I like the original name better.
