MTG Combo: Captain's Claws + Weapons Trainer

After play-testing a bit, I have come to appreciate the combination of Captain's Claws + Weapons Trainer and Stone Haven Outfitter, Relic Seeker and Stoneforge Masterwork are all great cards in this build.

However I do have some doubts about some of the other cards. Spidersilk Net and Bone Saw are both cheap and easy to play, but do not really effect the game, so having 3 to 4 of them seems pushing it. 2 to 3 Bone Saw might work well in an aggro shell though, which I believe is what you should be aiming at. Ghostfire Blade is too expensive for what it does when you don't have any colorless creatures imo and though I get that you want Makindi Aeronaut for it's evasiveness, I think you already have too many 2-cost creatures and he's somewhat slow. And I think you don't really have enough late game potential in this deck to be able to use Stoneforge Acolyte well.

I do however have some suggestions a well. First of I want to suggest playing an aggressive one-shot like Monastery Swiftspear and a good aggro 3-cost creature like Iroas's Champion to top off your mana curve. Also I would do away with Ghostfire Blade and Spidersilk Net for Sigil of Valor which is a superior equipment in my eyes. You could also splash green for Veteran Warleader, who can better use the power granted from equipments by getting trample and vigilance, and Collected Company who can help you go wide. On the other hand Gideon, Ally of Zendikar could also be very powerful in this albeit a bit expensive.

Anyway good luck with the deck,I also have my own design for an equipment-build if you're interested
