It's not finished at the moment!
Still searching cards!
To deal damage to myself, i have lands like {Tarnished Citadel}, tutors for it, as well as copy and untap cards.
With a turn 3 Darien ({grim monolith}) it's usually possible to kill a player in turn 5 with {coat of arms} as an example and kill the rest in turn 6.
For the late game i have {Skullclamp} with around 5 tutors and 5 reanimate cards for it!

If you're going to be doing that much intentional damage to yourself, you might want to try to fit in some sort of life gain to balance away from suicide. Maybe like a {Sun Droplet} or an {Angelheart Vial}. Another artifact to consider may be {Norn's Annex} to deter fliers from invading.

Otherwise, it looks interesting, though I'm curious how many opponents it can stand up to. I feel like countermagic, creature/artifact removal, and/or flying creatures could give it a substantial amount of trouble.

{Norn's Annex} does actually nothing, because if you have darien in play, nobody is going to attack you, since you will get that much tokens!
I have 2 of those cards at the moment: {stir the pride} and {healer of the pride}. Don't think i need more of them!

And your right with this! It's very hard to deal with removal, counter, boardwipe, etc.
I'm still searching more cards like {Rootborn Defenses}.
Also i'm considering {Cavern of Souls} against {hinder}

You really need all of the life gain you can get in this deck. All the {Soul Warden} effects, really. {Archangel of Thune}/{Cathar's Crusade} would be really explosive in this deck.

Don't think so!
If i darien doesn't get removed i'll lose around 15 life, but i'll win the game in turn 7-8!
That means i need life only when i don't have darien and soul warden does nothing in this situation!

I considered angel but it will just give +1/+1 per turn starting with turn 6, and play soul warden because of a card which i can't tutor for is not a good idea!

Cathars crusade is already in there!

The life gain is probably a matter of preference. It's probably just win more, but I like to win more in EDH. =P
The tutoring thing I suppose depends on how competitive your meta is.
And you're right, it is, I missed that the time time, sorry.
