Interesting mechanism. I had considered Sunforger. The Mistveil Plains addition makes it much more appealing as a possible addition to the armory. I'd probably also swap out that Oblivion Ring for a Path to Exile, with Sunforger added. I'd have to look around for other utility spells to add to that tool kit.
One of the issues I've have with the deck (and have attempted to fix with this updated version) is not having enough creatures to put the equipment on. I swapped out a couple ramp spells for creatures with land-search abilities (Burnished Hart, Yavimaya Elder, Solemn Simulacrum). Plus I can get most of them back with the Sun Titan, which is handy. So now early game they fix my land, and late game they can become serious threats with some help from equipment.
Pariah's Shield turned out to be too passive. Useful in some cases, but often not as aggressive as I wanted to be. It has been replaced - for now - with Nim Deathmantle. Evasion plus recovery from creature sweepers.

Yeah, eoraptor144, Rith doesn't seem like the right General for this deck. With Silent Arbiter (cool card, by the way!) and the swords, I'm thinking maybe Uril, the Miststalker?

Interesting thought with Uril. I can see the hexproof being advantageous, but the aura bonus won't do much in this deck. With all the at least partially white permanents, Rith can connect and drop a small army of equipable token creatures. That token army can chump block for days with the combat-restricting effects like Silent Arbiter.
Rith isn't ideal, but I don't know of any RWG legends that are really more synergistic with the rest of the deck. Keeping my fingers crossed for a bomb RWG legendary angel. :-)

Arcadium Are you counting the sideboard or maybeboard in that figure??

eoraptor144 nope its 34 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 15 + 6 + 8 + 9 = 111. No sideboard included.

Arcadiurn Any repeated cards in there? I'm using custom categories, and some cards fall in more than one.
(I sleeved it with a 100-pack of Dragon Shields.)

I love this take on my favorite gay boys!! I went from these guys to a more competitive bant style control angel edh deck! Using the new bant Chulane guy as a good engine, but now I’m going to revert it back to my gay boys! I’m definitely going to use this deck list as a guide for my own! But instead of equipment, I’m goin to use most of the theros gods I can!! (Since it just seems so themeatic!!)

If you run any equipment in these colors, consider running Sunforger and some cards that it can use, because these colors have some great options. You can also use Tithe with it to get Mistveil Plains and reuse the cards you fetch.
