Well this was one of my first EDH decks i have built, and it has gone thru many iterations with quite a bit of adding and subtracting but this is the hammered out pile. Strong, resiliant and capible of landing death blows at all times. Soldiers is the Tribal theme here with tokens being the main group of soldiers. I see many darien lists run alot of equipment yet low amount of Anthem's to make use of there army. Thus i have decided to use no equipment and many Anthems to make my creatures that much more lethal when they swing.
More or less you will win thru straight damage with your creatures, I have put plenty of wraths and removal to handle most problems you would run up against. And it can win without darien ever being casted. So leave some thoughts or advice im open to any help.
Martial Coup happens to be listed twice. Also, might wanna think about Gauntlet of Power for another mass pump/mana doubling effect. Sure, it helps your opponents playing white, but that just means that you'll have to kill them first
Tarnished Citadel definitely deserves a place alongside these lands.
I think i might consider adding one of these maybe more. im using Scrying Sheet's but im having a hard time justifying its use in the deck. i almost never tap it to scry my top card to see if its a land. i might just take it out.

Thanks for pointing that out. I havent been able to find a Gauntlet of Power but i would consider it, i need to replace my Old Extraplanar Lens because i lost my old one :/
you needallthepainlands. (the legal ones that you can play that is) I run them all in my Darien deck there really good once you get darien out and usually you can just tap them for a colorless mana and not take any damage when Darien isnt out otherwise its just minmal in a 40 life format
O and this is pretty awesome in this kinds of deck

I will be typing up deck lists as soon as I an be bothered, I really only play EDH:

I actually just added a few pain lands recently to my cardboard version and am glad i did. I find myself wanting to cast Darien more than usual, other than that Ancent Tomb isent a bad card tho i like being able not to kill myself to use it unless darien is out so i really only find myself wanting to Run the Citadel, Stadium, and maybe Coliseum (the come into play tapped kinda kills it for me, but if i had to pick aother it would be that one first)
Also updating this Pile right now with my current build, Thus far this deck is quite good and well tuned.
+ Mother of Runes -Lieutenant Kitar (Lack of owning Kitar plus Mother is another Ranger tutor target)
+ Armillary Sphere - Cryptic Gateway (I find myself in need of CA, in mono whites case i wanna make sure i make my land drops or makes sure Emeria triggers)
- 1 Grand Coliseum & Snow Covered Plains for Strip Mine and Tech Edge (needed an LD package and disliked Coliseum comeing into play tapped)
Mentor of the Meek seems counter-intuitive if you are using anthems to pump all of your creatures. Seems like you would not get to draw much.
I also have a Darien deck and considered Mentor before rejecting it for just that reason.

I see that problem, ive run into it a few times. bad luck with the draw as i dropped an anthem before i drew mentor. if anything its more playing it smartly. if i have too many anthems i dont play him. if i dont and have a way of drawing off him then i do play him. The rewards out weight the risks for me.
