Fireshrieker is another source of double strike.

The Swords are powerhouses.

Sword of Vengeance is a solid Equipment.

Caged Sun doubles your White mana.

Staff of Nin is a great card draw engine.

Trading Post is a useful artifact recursion engine.

Kor Haven deters dangerous attackers.


Drop Precinct Captain . Too small for Commander.

Drop Riders of Gavony . Protection from a single creature type isn't efficient unless there's a lot of Tribal decks in your meta.

Drop New Benalia . One-shot scry 1 isn't worth it.


Maybeboard:

Angelic Skirmisher is worthwhile if you heavily use tokens.

City of Shadows is okay if you can produce tokens consistently to fuel it.

Karmic Justice is amazing. Makes your opponents' removal hurt.

Rebuff the Wicked is mediocre.

Rout is better suited for control decks.

Scrying Sheets is awesome with snow basics.

Silverblade Paladin is amazing.

Snow-Covered Plains allows you to double your mana with Extraplanar Lens without other White decks getting free mana. Also lets you use Mouth of Ronom .

Thanks for your reply NensouHiebara !

Just uploaded my decks and didn't really take the time to completly fill in all the forms. So some of your suggested cards where already on some sort of shortlist. I've a lot of commander decks, so the things on my wantlist sometimes stay on that list for almost a year.

I think the deck is quite equipment heavy, so if I put in new equipments maybe I also need to take some out.

Your suggestions:Fireshrieker Thought about it but liked Grappling Hook way more. There aren't really that many creatures that i want to give double strike I guess. It's cool of course but it will cost a slot.

The Swords , I really like the swords don't want to put them all in here because I still need to have creatures to equip things to. Sword of Fire and Ice seems great, especially since it draws you a card. Sword of Light and Shadow could be nice to get some extra recursion. The other swords might be powerhouses in a vacuum but don't really fit my idea for this deck.

Sword of Vengeance True, I need to test it, I really have a problem of

Caged Sun I'd rather run Extraplanar Lens with snow basics because it's lower on the curve. When I'm able to pay Caged Sun I already can pay half of the deck.

Staff of Nin It always seemed so underwhelming, but I will give it a try.

Trading Post Was already on my shortlist, forgot to put it on here.

Kor Haven Was already on my shortlist, forgot to put it on here.

Your drops:Precinct Captain This guy is quite a good equipment target because of the first strike, it also serves well as a decoy, people seem to be afraid of it.

Riders of Gavony A lot of my creatures are human, in one of my meta's there are indeed a lot of tribal decks (elves, faeries, goblins, soldiers). Otherwise i choose the creaturetype that i least want to see blocking my stuff. It works quite well in the games i got it on the table.

New Benalia Maybe you're right, but late game when i don't really care about tempo this could filter out a land for me. It's a bit like the cycling lands. Not sure yet.

About the maybeboard:Maybeboard:Angelic Skirmisher seems like a powerhouse, choose vigilance or lifelink when attacking and choose first strike or lifelink when blocking. it's quite hard to find a card on the curve to take out.

City of Shadows I've enough token producers to make this worthwhile i guess. Don't own this card.

Karmic Justice Yes this needs to be in the deck, don't let them touch my toys

Rebuff the Wicked Don't really know about this card yet either, This deck makes it very obvious which cards are really my biggest threats so most of the time they catch some form of removal, being able to counter that would be great. But again it's a one shot trick.

Rout true, it's off the list, it hurts me way to much most of the times

Scrying Sheets I already have enough of them to put them in this deck, just need to find my another Scrying Sheets before i put them in

Silverblade Paladin waiting for it to rotate out of standard

Extraplanar Lens thinking about this, still don't really feel like this deck needs a lot of ramp. But this doesn't really hurt my curve, is another artifact and would make it possible to cast and equip an equipment in the same turn early game.Mouth of Ronom seems underwhelming in this deck. I playtested it in my Azusa deck, recurring this is really nice.

Thanks again for the suggestions and comments!
