Isamaru, the Super Shibe! (critique welcomed)

Commander / EDH* Mono-White Voltron

~~ WOW, MUCH EDH! SUCH COMMANDER! ~~

Here's an EDH deck that I built for a friendly, casual 2v2 tournament my friends are holding.

I wanted to make it a challenge insofar that there is only ONE creature in the deck, and that is Isamaru. The deck is geared around (pun intended) equipping as many artifacts to Isamaru (whilst protecting him from harm) as possible, swinging AFAP for the 21 commander-damage win.

I have roughly 31 cards for buffing, 26 cards for safety, 4 cards for tutoring/drawing (White doesn't offer many tutors, and Enlightened Tutor costs sooo much!), 37 lands, and 2 others.

PLEASE tell me if there's anything I can do better (without changing commander, of course).

~~ FIRST EDIT ~~

I took out Helm of Kaldra and Basilisk Collar, because the keyword buffs provided are outweighed by the safety I can get by using different cards, and made up by the other buffs in the deck anyway.

I took out Charge Across the Araba because sweep cards are silly (though maybe useful in this deck), and because the CMC is massively increased so I can use it for more than one creature (which I don't have).

Took out Spiritual Asylum because I wanna be swinging every turn, and can use a different card for safety/buffs anyway.

Added Mass Calcify, Hyena Umbra, Trailblazer's Boots, and Endless Horizons for fairly obvious reasons.
