I have a Darien deck and my favorite card for this deck is Jade Monolith. One generic mana, redirect damage from one creature to myself at instant speed and I can do that on my enemies' creatures and at instant speed. What's better than building my board during my turn? BUILDING IT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S TURN. Also, it's super political too.

Regarding the Cathars' Crusade, what you want to do is put all your creatures in one area, with one+1/+1 counter above that area. When the next batch of creatures come in, add a counter to the first area, put the second batch in a different area, and put a single +1/+1 counter on the new area. And so on for the third, fourth, and fifth. Suck it, Moses.

I am now convinced your group's meta is way different than mine. Some of the cards you cut like Blood of the Martyr, are all stars in the deck. At least with my group. Our decks are very similar. I opted for Aetherflux Reservoir and Test of Endurance for wincons. Storm Herd is also in mine for a wincon. I wish I could afford a Mana Crypt for mine. I went opposite with lands. I kept pain lands but more plains so Emeria triggers. I have also taken the Dingus Staff/Ashnod's Altar combo out because I had Dingus Staff backfire way too many times. It's a neat trick, but just a trick.
