This is, essentially, the third iteration of this deck. At the moment it's just a straight midrange-ish token deck. It is missing a handful of cards I just can't seem to get my hands on, like Auriok Champion. While it isn't super competitive, partly because I don't like playing very mean cards, it's a blast to play. Any comments and suggestions are welcome!
From what I can tell, your curve looks a bit low, but then again I've not looked at too many EDH tribal decks where one's wanting a bunch of
I suggest Brass Herald. A bit costly compared to the rest of your curve, but it's a Soldier lord that could draw you a couple cards for only 6.
Dunno how you could skip out on Mobilization as well. Vigilance and a mana dump location
I've always loved Eternal Dragon for a recurable flier or something to help build mana up with. On that same note, Gleam of Resistance is a nice surprise that can also help smooth out your opening.
As long as you have some one-drops in there, Ranger of Eos definitely makes both Soul-warden and Soul's Attendant happy to come out sooner.
If you can find one, Land Tax is wonderful, especially seeing this being not so mana-intensive for an EDH deck. Cenn's Enlistment pairs up to give you a nice flood of tokens.
Lastly, Beacon of Immortality. Your general loves you taking damage, but there's no reason not to go up along the way. Possibly Pulse of the Fields as well since W is lacking in tutors.
Darien triggers off of damage you deal to yourself, right? Why not include lands like Tarnished Citadel and City of Brass (and I'm sure there are many other similar lands and cards) to make it so that you don't have to rely on getting attacked or damaged by your opponents? When you rely on your opponent to do something, they will usually choose what's best for them, and worst for you, so it's good to have some way to control things through your own means.
Ohh I also have a Darien EDH Deck. I like your deck, so i only have things you would add but i don't know what you would want to take out. I suggest; coat of arms, Helm of Possession, Mobilization, Militia's Pride, and Auriok Champion, Also i'v found that small creatures that don't do much other than attack can be replaced with better things.
It's been months since I originally posted the decklist and it's changed quite a lot since then! I've updated it, and as you can see, it's gained in power quite a bit I've acquired a few EDH staples that really amp up the deck. EDH has also become loads more popular in our area, to the point where it's pretty much the only Constructed format I play (our FNM being a draft). I'd still say it's a work in progress, though.
I've dumped most of the vanilla and french vanilla soldiers in favor of making lots of big tokens quickly. If I don't get bad draws and the game goes long, these guys can get just stupidly huge. My favorite little combo is Kor Skyfisher + Door of Destinies. The Skyfisher keeps bouncing itself and the Door keeps gaining counters. Not a bad return for two mana.
I originally was using the equipment sub-theme to just to give my deck some direction and to give myself something to kind of mentally build around, but it turned out to be a very good choice on my part. Tokens are great at holding onto equipment, especially things like Jitte. Strata Scythe surprised me. Even in games where I'm playing the only White deck, it gets pretty scary pretty fast.
I'm also aware that it needs ways to deal with generals and some targeted removal for artifacts and enchantments. I think those are the only things the deck is really hurting for.
Any comments and suggestions are definitely still welcome

I recently took out all of the soldier tribal stuff. I'd rather play individually strong cards than try to support an inferior team. As I took out weak soldiers like Frontline Strategist, Brass Herald kept whiffing and Field Marshal became less and less relevant. The deck functions MUCH better now.

Daru Warchief, Decree of Justice, Enlistment Officer would be things to look for as well if I was trying to maximize the soldier output.
Lastly, Beacon of Immortality. Your general loves you taking damage, but there's no reason not to go up along the way. Possibly Pulse of the Fields as well since W is lacking in tutors.

I recommend Ranger of Eos as a good soldier and a way to fetch Serra Ascendant and Soul Warden / Soul's Attendant.
