Darien, King of Kjeldor by Raven318

Format: Commander

Commander: Darien, King of Kjeldor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Darien, King of Kjeldor turns self-inflicted and combat damage into an army of 1/1 Soldier creature tokens. Backed by soul sisters like Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant, every point of damage you take creates a Soldier and immediately restores or increases your life total. The deck leverages this defensive engine to accumulate massive life totals, converting life gain into direct win conditions via Felidar Sovereign, Test of Endurance, or Aetherflux Reservoir. Alternatively, it can execute an infinite damage loop by sacrificing tokens to Blasting Station with Darien and a life-gain creature on the battlefield.
