Commander: Darien, King of Kjeldor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Built around Darien, King of Kjeldor, this mono-white deck converts self-inflicted damage into a flood of Soldier tokens and layers several lifegain payoffs on top. The primary plan is to land Darien, activate self-damage permanents such as Jinxed Idol and Blasting Station, then win with a mass-pump attack. The secondary path is an infinite ping combo with Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista, with Archangel of Thune acting as a third combo bridge. There is no double-faced commander; Heliod effectively acts as the hidden command-zone-quality engine. As a token swarm, the deck can also win without Darien through Adeline and mass pump, but at noticeably lower speed.
