Just out of curiosity, do you mind explaining why you chose Darksteel Citadel and not, say more Plains, or Ghost Quarters?

To activate metalcraft faster on Puresteel Paladin.Though Ghost Quarter might be a good idea too. Thanks!

Cranial Plating is great in a deck with so many artifacts

narthan11 I already have Golem-Skin Gauntlets that are as efficient and costs less money. Costs less to cast for (remotly) the same thing, since I'll rarely split my equipments among my creatures. Thanks though!

Needs more creatures. I strongly recommend Kitesail Apprentice. Instead of Emerge Unscathed Apostle's Blessing as it could be able to save you're equipment. Here is my list if you want to check it out, relatively budget and very aggressive.

Grafted Wargear for the Duelist.

Snagdurkle I have yet to see someone target my equips with artifact hate spells, though I guess that could be a thing... I love the rebound mecanic though, so I guess I'll keep Emerge Unscathed for now. As for creatures, you're right, though I don't know what to remove. I like my balance as is for everything else except creatures. I'll figure something out! Appreciated :)

Serra_Sentinel Not sure that's such a great equip. I'm more fond of paying 3 to get Godsend or Loxodon Warhammer. Most of the time I'll switch my equips around and this doesn't let me.

I'm not so good at equip decks in Modern, I'll admit that haha. Nice deck though. Best of luck with it.

Well, that is, I'm not good with budget. Leonin Shikari is a really good card with Puresteel Paladin

Serra_Sentinel No problem man :) I used to run Leonin Shikari but 9/10 times it felt like a useless 2/2 for 2. I need too much cards for that "combo" and my deck is not consistent enough to do that! It's cool when it works, but I rarely could pull it off. And thanks, best of luck to you too :)

Hey how about Leonin Shikari for some flash artifacts. Also a nice combo you can add is Kemba, Kha Regent or Myrsmith coupled up with Mortarpods

temperao I played Leonin Shikari for a while, but it always seemed like a 2/2 for 2, and I would need a god hand to really play it to it's full potential. It had a bolt target drawn on it anyways, not very useful dead. I also often find myself mana starved at 3-4 lands, so I can't really play Myrsmith - Mortarpod combo. Though maybe I can make it work with Kemba, Kha Regent. I'll think about it. Thanks! :)
