I've wanted a mono-white deck for a while, to support my love of D&T in Modern and Legacy, but most of the available commanders didn't really do much for me. I like that Darien is a token deck that operates on a different axis from most, and is flavorful to boot (creating an army of Soldier tokens to support their King). While there are a lot of lifegain elements in the deck, I wouldn't say the deck is really focused around it at all--my life total never really gets very high since I'm usually doing everything I can to damage myself.

Win conditions include:

• Amassing a large army of Soldiers and pumping them with Goldnight Commander or Valor in Akros
• Making a lot of tokens and milling everyone out with Altar of the Brood. Alternately, making infinite tokens and milling everyone out in one go with Blasting Station + Darien + any Soul Sister + Altar of the Brood
• Creating infinite tokens with Blasting Station + Darien + any two Soul Sisters
• Doing infinite damage with Blasting Station + Darien + any Soul Sister + Anointed Procession
• Locking everyone else out of winning using Meekstone or Crackdown + Court Street Denizen

Ranger of Eos Package:

• Weathered Wayfarer
• Mother of Runes
• Devoted Caretaker
• Giant Killer // Chop Down
• Soul Warden
• Soul's Attendant
• Esper Sentinel

Urza's Saga Package:

• Skullclamp
• Meekstone

Revamping the Ramp package with some new releases. I think Oath of Lieges will be necessary to keep up with the lands/ramp decks that are very popular these days. Alms Collector always felt quite weak to me, I think Esper Sentinel will be much more reliable card draw. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is generally a solid card to slam down lategame, but it has bitten me before making my tokens susceptible to Meekstone. Since I'm adding in an Urza's Saga, I thought I would try out an additional alternate win condition in Altar of the Brood.

Archon of Coronation looks insane with what we want to do. Excited to try it out, Monarch should provide a similar draw rate to Staff of Nin.

I've been on the fence about Council's Judgment forever, but it's incredible and I don't know why I was so hesitant to play it. Typically hits 2-3 things. Blind Obedience synergizes well with the tap/stax theme, and with the addition of Sejiri Shelter // Sejiri Glacier I've found my number of protective spells is still high enough without the greaves.

Jinxed Idol just wasn't doing much, Ancient Tomb does the exact same job but better since you get 2 colorless out of it as well, so it was really a dead slot. Crackdown adds to the slowdown with Meekstone.
