I started to build my very own EDH-Deck in early 2012 with the release of Avacyn Restored. Eight-and-a-Half-Tails has been my Commander of choice ever since, because people try to blow up my stuff all the time.

My playgroup is pretty competetive, which makes it very challenging to actually win games with a Mono-Deck.

1st testing period is over. — Aug. 6, 2015
Edit

Another 4 weeks passed by. Following is a list of tested/recommended Cards which were just not good enough. With time this list will be moved to the Description.

Please do NOT suggest the following cards. I don't play them for a reason.

Eternal Dragon - It's just too slow and mana heavy. If you don't take a mulligan when you have this card in your starting hand you are flat out stupid, if you draw into it on the first 7 turns you basically just lost a turn. If its in your graveyard and you "reanimate" it it costs 12 mana to have a 5/5 flyer. With 12 mana I could hard cast Avacyn, Angel of Hope and still have mana for counterbackup (8 mana for avacyn + 3 mana for Lapse of Certainty). Its actually better to play a basic land in this slot.

Leonin Abunas - Yes, it does protect my Equipment from spot removal. So does my Commander. And my Commander can still protect himself.

Argentum Armor - Again, too slow and too mana heavy. Yes, i could cheat it into play with a Stoneforge Mystic and Equip for 0 when i also have my Puresteel Paladin out with metal craft active. But 90% of the time that isn't the case. Basically what i am trying to say is, stop suggesting me Equipment that costs an amount of mana equal or near to the casting cost of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

Champion's Helm - this actually is a good equipment for a Voltron Deck. Sadly I don't play a pure Voltron Deck. There are a bunch of Creatures in there, for example Mirran Crusader, that aren't legendary. In addition to that I could play a sword in that slot and spend 1 mana more and suddenly have an equipment that draws me cards and shoots stuff with the same P/T boost.

Darksteel Plate - Yay indestructible. For 5 mana. The things you could do for 5 mana...

Fireshrieker - There is no need for that Equipment. I've got 3 Doublestrike dudes and a Silverblade Paladin.

Loxodon Warhammer - This is not a budget deck. Batterskull is just better. It can bounce itself and it can beat people up without equipping it to some dude.

Sword of Vengeance - 6 mana for +2/+0? No thanks, this is not a budget deck.

Trading Post - It was in there at some point, but i don't really like it in that deck anymore.

Terminus - I don't want to mess up my own board. I have enough recursion to get things back from my graveyard, but digging them up from beneath my library? Not really worth it.

Oblation - Yes it can catch anything but letting people draw 2 cards at the cost of 3 mana is just not reasonable in a mono-white deck.

Mikokoro, Center of the Sea - >EACH< player draws a card. Each being the word we should focus on. My opponents draw cards too. Why should i fuel the Control decks around me?

Thespian's Stage/Vesuva - Yes copying utility lands is great but it does not really have a target in my deck. A possible target sure is Emeria, the Sky Ruin but if it is destroyed i still can get it back with Crucible of Worlds

All is Dust - Yes it does Purge the board and spares my Equipment. 8.5 can also turn lands and artifacts white so that they are hit by it. but 7 mana is just too much to pay, if you calculate in that you need 8.5 and 1 mana per permanent thats not white to turn it white and actually get rid of it.

Angelic Field Marshal - Heliod, God of the Sun might be better if i would play it for the mass vigilance, if i would play it just to have a flying dude, i rely too much on my commander to be out there and give the angel a P/T boost.

Citadel Siege - After some intense card reading it turns out that it says "..., put two +1/+1 counters on >target< creature you control". Most of the time i have got only 1 creature out there on the battlefield and that creature has got swords equipped to it which grant the creature protection from white, so i can't target that creature. And paying 4 mana for an Enchantment that does absolutely nothing is not really my playstyle.

Debt of Loyalty - According to the Oracle text, you only get the creature if it regenerates from Debt of Loyalty's effect.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - Acutally not really good in a somewhat colorless deck.

Leonin Shikari - Is just good in combination with Puresteel Paladin + Metalcraft. Otherwise it's just a 2/2.

----There will be more additions to that list in due time.
