This is a mono-white equipment deck focusing on getting your artifacts, creatures, and equipment out early, and attacking for a massive amount of early damage while keeping fairly threat resistant setup.
The ideal goal is to get out your
Kor Duelist
, then Puresteel Paladin and toss out enough 0 mana artifacts to cause metalcraft and on turn two attack with generally a 3/4 or so double strike vigilance Duelist, while also not losing card advantage due to Paladin's draw card effect. Then add in a sword on the next turn to create a huge threat with the duelist, with double strike causing two triggers while the sword is also buffing and giving protection.
Leonin Shikari is in here to create instant speed equips which are hopefully free due to the puresteel, which is amazing with protection cards as well as Lightning Greaves which you don't even need Puresteel Paladin for which is really just shroud for any creature at any time which comes in handy 99% of games.
Eldritch Moon gave us an awesome addition to the deck, Sigarda's Aid which is beyond useful, flash equipment with no attach cost when it enters. Not only is this giving me a Puresteel Paladin metalcraft (basically) but it's also letting me save the Accorder's Shield in my hand until they waste a blocker or a spell such as Lightning Bolt. What more could you ask for?
All the equipment is in the deck for buffing creatures and drawing cards quickly and easily.
Mox Opal is a quick accelerated start which can cause an explosive turn one or two that is hard for the opponent to answer.
I hope you all enjoy the deck as much as I do, I love equipment and how I can interact them with creatures in an efficient and deadly way.
