So the idea was initially just mono black control and whatnot but its pretty obvious that Stoneforge/Swords are awesome and an equipped Persecutor just beats hard and if it has a sword you're almost guarenteed an activation every turn with flying/trample and him being an 8/8. Plus with Go for the Throat its another way to get rid of him. I'm aware that you can't do that if he's equipped with FaF but Vapors and having Grave Titan in the deck to move equipment around helps. The main problem I have is mana consistancy. I thought about taking out some Edges but that's just suboptimal I think. Like 80% of the time its perfect and like 15% of the time you have enough card draw to get you where you need to be after a subpar opening hand but that other 5% is frustrating. Obviously it'll never be perfect but please, any suggestions are welcome. And I like having 3-4 equipment mainboard so my SFs are gonna get something almost every time not just having 2 like a lot of decks. That's just me though. Also I split Duress/Inquisition cause I'm just not sure which is better for the deck because you usually grab a lot of the same cards with both. So those are pretty subjective to your style/meta. And the sideboard is litterally just off the top of my head and any help is appreciated.
