As soon as I saw Tetsuko Umezawa spoiled for Dominaria, I saw opportunity for something with the familiarity of Edric, Spymaster of Trest in regards to it's theme, but still very unique in what it can accomplish. With this deck, I went for more of an equipment sub-theme, making sure not to include anything that buffs both the creatures' power and toughness at the same time. Somethings to note about this deck:

• There are a few cards in here that I'm uncertain about at this time. Cards such as Cultural Exchange, Keeper of Keys, and Homarid Spawning Bed, for example. These cards are either unfitting for the theme or could see replacement with any suggestions (although the Monarch mechanic always makes things a bit more frenzied and fun, I've noticed).
• I don't run that many draw instants or sorceries or what have you because most of the deck runs off of looting effects or other creatures and enchantments that provide that effect, so I never felt the need for it.
• As it turns out, artifacts are a huge part of this deck. So while my current build of the deck doesn't run a Darksteel Forge as I think that it would make it too top-heavy for an "aggro" deck, I'll most likely test it out to see if it's worth running to counteract any mass removal such as Vandalblast.

This was a very fun and cheap deck to build and it had me searching for stuff that was a bit outside of my comfort zone. It was able to keep up with my friend's Edric deck just fine (with a lot of luck off of ramping with Explorer's Scope in the beginning, I might add) and it was surprisingly different, with my deck focusing more on equipment rather than just straight-up unblockable creatures. All of that being said, I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions for the deck. Thanks to anyone checking it out!
