So a while ago I created a commander deck, and I like it a lot, however, I just recently made a new deck and I don't know which one to buy.
My deck:
Mono white equipment deck
Commander / EDH
1 VIEW
My deck:
Defending budget commander deck
Commander / EDH

I think both are solid budget options but I need to pick one.

Mono white equipment deck seems like it would be more fun to play

I vote for the equipment deck. It has more potential if you ever decide to increase your budget and most of the pieces can easily slot into a different commander deck you could build in the future. Arcades, by comparison, is a much stronger deck, but you'll be locked into Arcades since it's such a specific strategy. If you're willing to stick with a single commander and never change it, Arcades would be fun. If you find yourself switching between commanders or possibly being intrigued by a future voltron one, then I'd go for mono-white equipment.

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I think that I am going to go with the arcades deck because I want the strongest deck possible, however, I might still go with the equipment deck because I think it would be more fun to play

i'd go with arcades, but the equipment deck could be a lot stronger than it currently is, by adding more colors. there are other equipment themed commanders that imo are much stronger than balan, plus there are also colored equipment you could take advantage of.

IMO equipment. You can expand to in the future with that. Arcades tends to be really linear, making for a similar gameplay experience every time. I have a buddy that built the walls deck & that is his experience, he rarely plays it anymore. However, if you don't mind playing the same commander with a similar wincon repeatedly then the wallman may be for you.

Arcades will draw more cards, and Bant colours ramp well. If you want more raw power and consistency, card draw and ramp are of supreme importance, the only issue is that Arcades has more of a reputation for power and might attract attention.
