I've used Leonin Shikari before. I never found instant-speed equipping to be useful.

I could understand excluding him because he's BS in EDH, but I'd consider running Serra Ascendant if you haven't. That guy is nuts when he drops turn 1.

I run a slightly altered version of this deck and my playgroup HATEs Serra Ascendant. I love it.
On a sidenote, NensouHiebara
You said you ran a similar deck with Kemba, Kha Regent, would you be willing to show how you built that?

I didn't keep any decklists of when this deck was led by Kemba, Kha Regent. It pretty much performed just like this deck, except I also had a legion of Cat tokens. I never focused the deck around her tokens, only Commander Damage kills, which is why Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is the Commander now.
If I were to rebuild Kemba, Kha Regent, I would treat it like a Voltron/Token Aggro hybrid, with the Voltron aspect as back-up plan. Kemba's way more efficient as a token generator than a Voltron Commander.

Interesting, I'm trying to work out what I'd switch out in order to get Kemba, Kha Regent and have a little more synergy. Cards I'd obviously want to have would be White Sun's Zenith, Cathars' Crusade, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Gauntlet of Power, and maybe Konda's Banner and Dragon Throne of Tarkir. What would you suggest?

Mentor of the Meek - As long as there are no passive anthem effects on the field, this guy keeps you hand full with Kemba, Kha Regent active.
Mirror Entity - Makes your army huge.
Caged Sun - Prefer this over Gauntlet of Power. One additional mana is worth it to have the effects one-sided and to get extra mana off of nonbasics.
Leonin Sun Standard - Mana sink anthem.
True Conviction - Mass double strike and lifelink is amazing.

Sorry about my previous comment. Must have missed it in the decklist somehow.

The Kaldra Set may be of use to you :

@NensouHiebara Just noticed that in the updates after I posted, very nice deck though +1
June 16, 2015 12:51 p.m.
It looks like Relic Hunter will be great in this deck.

I like it:
It's cheap, so it can be played early if in the opening hand or drawn early.
It's recurable with Sun Titan and Reveillark.
Getting a creature to bash an opponent's face is child's play in a Voltron deck, especially with a Commander that throws protection around like candy.

Im not sure if someones mentioned it before but what about Mass Calcify? Too expensive to cast to be worth it?
June 22, 2015 7:12 p.m.
NensouHiebara says... #18
Mass Calcify doesn't do enough for 7 mana and it's bad against the other White players at the table.

Archangel of Tithes will likely replace Windborn Muse for me.
June 25, 2015 4:58 p.m.
NensouHiebara says... #20
I'm sticking with Windborn Muse. Muse's ability is more costly for the opponent, it's recurrable with Reveillark, and can attack (if needed) without deactivating itself.
June 25, 2015 5:57 p.m.
I did have another question, to save some money, I know its a great card, but whats an alternative for Mana Crypt?
June 26, 2015 6:23 p.m.
NensouHiebara says... #22
There is no proper substitute for Mana Crypt. Although, it's essentially Sol Ring #2. If you can't acquire one, you're not missing out.
Other options:
- Mana Vault the closest to an 'alternative', but it acts more like a colourless Dark Ritual than a mana rock.
- Everflowing Chalice is a flexible mana rock that scales with the game.
- Mind Stone can pop for a card later in the game and is a card draw engine with Sun Titan.

How about a Karmic Guide I havent seen it mentioned so I dont think its been brought up. Its recoverable by Reveillark and then can get your Reveillark back so you can return more later. Dont pay its echo and its nice and safe in your graveyard just for Reveillark in recur it again.

NensouHiebara says... #24
I used to run Karmic Guide. I dropped it a while back as I was running a bit too much creature-only recursion.

@wiciu5
Kor Haven, Maze of Ith, Ghostly Prison, Windborn Muse, and strait-up removal provide ample protection against creatures.
The only damage prevention Enchantment I would ever consider using would be Righteous Aura. Doesn't need 8.5 to function, only needs a single mana total to use, and losing 2 life is negligible.
