Originally a straightforward unfolding aggro deck, it's now way more of a Voltron deck with a big focus on graveyard return and general resilience to removal. I rarely have more then two or three creatures up at a time, but i rely on protection via artifacts or other means or graveyard return.

Obviously the stars of the show are the swords of etc., and the Jitte. It actually matters little who gets equipped. Aurelia's second combat stacked with sword effects, especially if there's double strike at play, can lead to game ending effects very quickly.

It's not a subtle deck, and if opponents are determined to focus on artifact crushing or sacrifice effects, I can get shut down pretty permanently.

It's a fun deck, the "network" of artifact protection and graveyard resilience makes for dynamic games.

Over time I've pruned some power cards to make it more fun. In particular Serra Ascendant has been pulled (playgroup hated it, I felt guilty playing it), and I pulled sensei's divining top because honestly it was boring even to me to Maximize.

Most "One Final Push" cards such as Final Fortune have also been pulled, as I prefer to invest in the longer term safety and power of my position instead of putting everything into on desperate surge.
