All my online decks are pretty cheap ticketwise. This one is no different. It is a soldier theme deck based on Darien. I like how it usually runs, but it rarely seems to go over the top in multiplayer, generally finishing second to another deck :p. Looking for any input that could put it over the top that isn't too expensive ticketwise online:
As per request, I went back and separated stuff out alphabetically and by types within the types. I took out a couple of the inferior weenies for bigger angels. Sorry about the mess of the earlier list. I will do what I can to make the necessary changes. The ideas you suggested are all kinda cheap. I just gotta look into my cards to see what I got :). I already added the Suture Priest and Soul's Attendant, though.
Might help if this were a bit better organized, it's difficult to tell how a deck runs with the card types all jumbled together.
Darien typically runs as many Soul Warden effects as possible. (Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Suture Priest, Auriok Champion, Righteous Cause). This way, when you take damage, you produce tokens equal to the damage and then gain life for each token, making it so any non-lethal swing does effectively nothing to you.
It's also common practice to run mana sources that self-damage, in order to trigger Darien yourself. So cards like Ancient Tomb (might exceed your budget if it even exists on MTGO, which I'm not sure of), City of Brass, Tarnished Citadel, Grand Coliseum, Mana Cypt (haha, naw), Mana Vault (not sure if this one exists), Nomad Stadium. Lich's Tomb is an interesting proposal as well, as as long as you can keep it and Darien alive, you'll always have tokens to sac to the Tomb.
I'm seeing an awful lot of cheap aggressive creatures here, which doesn't translate into a powerful multiplayer EDH deck.
