Sideboard


Stumbled across a list using a Nahiri's Resolve Simulacrum Synthesizer combo to get free constructs every turn. I felt like that could be an interesting synergy for my previous equipment deck. Lots of 3 mana equipment for Resolve blinking. And Cryptic Coat and Assimilation Aegis could also be fun with the combo. The Mightstone and Weakstone   could give more card draw and removal. Steel Seraph could give life gain. Lion Sash could give graveyard hate. Cloudsteel Kirin could give loss protection. Danitha, Benalia's Hope and Astor, Bearer of Blades can give some equipment cheat value. Seems like there's some decent deckbuilding space to tinker with.

Strangely, Astor, Bearer of Blades gives Cryptic Coat an actual Equip ability. Actually useful. Astor and Bladehold War-Whip combine to make some Equip: 0 abilities.

One other detail that might be interesting. Arid Archway is a bit sneaky with how it interacts with different classes of lands. With the channel lands like Otawara, Soaring City, you're more ok with playing it as a land early, because the Archway can get it back to hand later without necessarily losing your curve. With fast lands you get an extra bit of curve if you play Archway on turn 2 or 3 since it keeps your land count low while keeping your mana output on curve. With other deserts you have some extra Surveil options. Slow lands are more a problem but you can handle some of it by being more thoughtful of your turn sequences.

In this deck the Archway could get flipped under the Coat, then unflipped from the Resolve blink, which might be better than a land. And the Conduit Pylons is a way to help mana fix for the three color deck but it's also a Desert.
