Darien, King of Kjeldor deck primarily designed to make soldier tokens by dealing self damage, with a bit of life gain thrown in as well.

I made this deck because I wanted to try building in mono-white, and also wanted a lower-power deck I could use for more casual games. I started with an Eight-and-a-Half-Tails deck (Fantastic Mr. Fox), but wasn't really enjoying how it played. This deck could still use a little more tuning, but so far is more fun to play.
