Staff of the Sun Magus a proper engine.

Chivalric Alliance efficient card draw + a cheap discard outlet

Inventors' Fair consistent +1 plus a great tutor.

Nomad Stadium +4 threshold and reanimator go hand in hand.

Akroma, Angel of Wrath the quintessential white bomb.

Odric, Lunarch Marshal has potential.

Hi there! Coming over from your comment on my Darien deck. Looks like a solid list! I do not like to give a ton of recommendations as it is your deck and should be a reflection of you! I will give a few thoughts (while trying to stay budget friendly with an additions), and if you would like more insight I would be glad to help.

As far as lands are concerned, being mono white you have the flexibility to run some solid non basic lands. I am assuming you are running lots of basics due to Extraplanar Lens. I will touch base on that below. A few lands that make sense flavor wise and just in general would be Arcane Lighthouse (get around shroud/hexproof for removal), Grand Coliseum/Nomad Stadium (budget pain lands), Scavenger Grounds (graveyard hate), and War Room (card draw). Tower of the Magistrate is really fun for repeatedly giving an opponents creature protection from their own equipment.

I see you mentioned Solemnity is there for protection against infect. Depending on your meta that could be the right call. If so I would look to remove both Archangel of Thune and Cathars' Crusade as Solemnity completely shuts those cards off.

One other quick thought would be to consider swapping Extraplanar Lens out for something else. I used to run it a lot and found it to be incredibly lackluster. When it stays and people leave it alone it is great! But that never seems to be the case. If it is removed you are out not just the mana you spent on it but a land as well. Not having snow basics makes it easier for your opponents to benefit from it too. If it is working for you though, great! I never had such luck.

I will leave it at that. If you have any questions or thoughts please let me know. Have fun with Darien!

Venara828 I appreciate the feedback, and while I really do enjoy the idea of flooding the field with Angels via Divine Visitation and Angelic Accord or others like them, I'm trying to keep it as synergistic as possible through the Soldier type. As for my reasoning behind Grand Coliseum , Nomad Stadium , and Tarnished Citadel ; if I have enough mana out to also have my commander out, then provided they don't simply take him out or make me lose health aside from dealing damage, the danger of creating 1/1 soldier tokens for the amount of damage dealt to me added to the fairly decent chance of those tokens gaining counters nearly immediately upon entering the battlefield creates a bit of deterrent. Hence, aside from a couple other cards that bring tokens out, I may need to deal damage to myself a couple times to build up some token creatures.

Mind if I ask for your thoughts on this?

Other cards in white that deal damage to you are rare, but some colorless cards exist for the job, here all of the ones that come to mind:

The white part of the Odyssey utility threshold lands: Nomad Stadium

Grand Coliseum and City of Brass

Mana Vault and Mana Crypt are even better than usual here!

Staff of Nin xDD to deal damage to you!

Ankh of Mishra would be amazing!

Off of that staff one I though of Blasting Station ... there is some infinite combo there, right?

Jinxed Idol might not be so jinxed after all!

Ancient Tomb is amazing as well.

---

That is all I have for that... now for some finishers once you have the life/token engine going!

Well of Lost Dreams / Mentor of the Meek ? They would do a fair amount of work in terms of drawing.

Felidar Sovereign / Archangel of Thune - normal lifegain shenanigans.

Jazal Goldmane / Cathars' Crusade / Coat of Arms / Mirror Entity / Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - normal token shenanigans.

Anointed Procession for more fun?

Divine Visitation too...

Ashnod's Altar / Phyrexian Altar would be good value

Slate of Ancestry on that note.

That's all I got... other than random anthem effects like Dictate of Heliod , but that would be too weak IMO.

Hey NKNWNtt! Welcome to T/O!

You can consider adding in lands that damage you such as Ancient Tomb , Nomad Stadium , Tarnished Citadel , City of Brass , and Grand Coliseum to proc more triggers when you have Darien active.

To help with card draw you can definitely add in Skullclamp to help you use all your tokens and gain advantage with them. Secure the Wastes is also a good investment at any point of the game to make plenty of tokens.

Hope that helps!

If you want to work with your commander, there are a lot of ways to damage yourself.

Notably on the land side of things: Grand Coliseum and Nomad Stadium are good budget options.

Benalish Marshal from Dominaria would probably be a good addition here as well. You might want to grab a Crusade and Celestial Crusader while you're at it. Kindred Boon is a pretty sweet mono-white card for tribal decks.

If you need help cutting cards, I feel like Sunlance, Soul Parry, Pacifism, Mortal's Ardor, Mighty Leap, and Dauntless Onslaught are the weakest cards here at the moment.

+1 from me. :)

As you are running Darien and First Response I recommend getting for landbase:
Adarkar Wastes, Grand Coliseum, Tarnished Citadel, Nomad Stadium, Shefet Dunes, Ipnu Rivulet, Cephalid Coliseum and City of Brass.
Archangel's Light is extra heavy and dosen't do much. How about Resolute Archangel?.
Sanctified Charge is also an overcosted spell. How about a light and permanent pump with Intangible Virtue? If you like it to be at instant speed, there is Pride of Conquerors.
Hour of Eternity is also an amazing Token creator in blue decks.

Some self damaging lands will be useful! City of Brass, Grand Coliseum, Tarnished Citadel, Nomad Stadium. These will give you tekens just for tapping for mana, better than free!

You'll then want the soul sisters to counteract the damage with lifegain! Every token you get gains you a life, so you end up even on life and now have tokens! Soul's Attendant, Soul Warden, Suture Priest, and maybe Anointer Priest!

Cathars' Crusade will be really good!

Mentor of the Meek is great draw! Oblation is too; you can just hit one of your tokens for cards!

You'll absolutely want Rootborn Defenses and Eldrazi Monument to protect your army.

Steelshaper Apprentice, Steelshaper's Gift, Stonehewer Giant, Taj-Nar Swordsmith, Enlightened Tutor, and Open the Armory can all get your equipment.

Also, crazy combo idea: Blasting Station + Soul's Attendant + Darien, King of Kjeldor + Altar of the Brood = mill win.

Hope some of this helps!
