Hurt yourself to build your army!

Darien rewards you for self-inflicted pain, and so a large part of this deck is using pain lands and other means to damage yourself and create a massive army of tokens. Main combo for this purpose is turning your lands into swamps with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , and then putting Royal Decree and/or Karma into play. To balance this out, there's also a large amount of lifegain, most of which triggers when creatures enter the battlefield, so you'll gain that life right back!

I'm still working on finding more means of self-inflicted damage, so any help would be appreciated!
