I don't think you have enough land. I'm more inclined to have at least 20, but probably 24. Elspeth, Knight-Errant is powerful, but I don't know if she fits. I'd maybe drop the Pacifism and Elspeth for 5 more Plains . Maybe swap Righteousness for Rebuff the Wicked . That way, you're not likely to be spot removed by kill spells. It can also protect your artifacts.

There is also the Brass Squire . He can hook on your equipment for free.

I would definitely grab 4-5 more land, Elspeth, Knight-Errant and Leonin Shikari would be my first choices to drop. Brass Squire is awesome for equipment decks, I would try to bring in a few copies of that.

I agree with Doctor about switching Righteousness for Rebuff the Wicked , spot removal would be really bad for you.

I would probably drop one each of Oblivion Ring and Pacifism , just personal preference.

Do you really think I need that much mana?With Puresteel Paladin and Auriok Steelshaper equip cost is no problem.With Lightning Greaves + Puresteel Paladin + Leonin Shikari = All my creatures are protected.

you gotta think what if someone destroys your Lightning Greaves , Rebuff the Wicked would be really good to put into your deck

Should I change some of my creatures for one-mana creatures?

Switch Leonin Skyhunter for Serra Avenger and Rebuff the Wicked for Brave the Elements . Endless Horizons is always good for mono white too. you don't need ghostly prison or pacifism either. What are you having trouble against?

@Aznalexguy I'm having troubles against elves and tokens (too many creatures, that's why i put Ghostly Prison ) And of course against Affinity and Counterspells.That angel you say will not get the bonus of my Steelshaper

its the vigilance flying that makes that angel potent. Especially with equips. free attacks every turn. but thats just my opinion. Journey to Nowhere is a better removal than Pacifism and they cost the same. it hurts elves and affinity a lot more too. Emeria, The Sky Ruin is a nice late game land to have too.

I like Rebuff the Wicked because it can counter spells that target any of your permanents, not just creatures. If you're having a lot of trouble with counter spell, there is Grand Abolisher , and he's cheap to cast.

The only trouble with Serra Avenger is that you have to wait to cast her.

May I suggest Knight of Glory , Basilisk Collar , Deathrender and Sword of Vengeance .

I built a cat/equipment edh for a friend recently and these equips seemed too good to pass up. Especially the sword for only 3 mana. The knights though, are just great sideboard if you're versing a black deck since you're not running exalt.

As for hard to find cards, either go on ebay, or check with your local shop.

Just food for thought.

And an after thought, Court Street Denizen for a bit of control where needed.

As well, look into the card's from Gatecrash with the Battalion mechanic as you might get some level of usefulness from it in places, especially in combination with Hero of Bladehold (if you're willing to splash red, look at this little guy Legion Loyalist ).

I'll consider Knight of Glory and Basilisk Collar , thx:)

I don't see Deathrender useful here, as i don't have high-cost creatures.I tried Sword of Vengeance for a while and it didn't make it. The equipments I've chosen do it better, but thanks:)

About gatecrash, it would make my deck chage too much. I'll see what they've got and maybe I'll stat another Deck:)

Excellent, and no worries. :)

True, it just seemed useful trading a token for an actual creature. :P

Really? That surprises me, I'd of thought it would be an upgrade from Loxodon Warhammer , or does the life gain help more than first strike/vigilance/haste?.

Fair enough. haha :)

I would consider Elite Inquisitor or maybe Champion of the Parish if you have money to spend.

if your going for indestructible may i suggest Knight Exemplar to go with your Hero of Bladehold

i just ordered cards for my knight's deck in progress and it seems like a good way to ruin someones day
