I'm about 30 over. The general goal is to get Nahiri out asap by flooding with equips and or stacking creatures with equips. It's not supposed to be a power level 10 but i'm having a hard time deciding what to cut. Any advice is welcome

I think the sorceries, enchantments, and other non-creature/equipments look reasonable so I would probably start dropping creatures and artifacts. Cut a creature, then cut an artifact. Repeat until you’re down to 100. “But FormOverFunction, that will cut way too many creatures and equipment pieces from my creature/equipment deck!” You’re correct! You will eventually (or maybe rapidly) run into creatures and equipment pieces that you would MUCH rather have than one of the planeswalkers or enchantments or sorceries... and that will help you pick even further. The trick is to not run into something like Resolute Strike that makes the decisions even more difficult ;p At it’s core, I would approach this as a 100% creatures and equipment deck and then try to pick which of these other cards really deserve to be in the deck amongst the core cards. Those other cards should be looked at (at least while I’m building non-theme decks) as traps or bait to lure you away from what you’re actually trying to do. There will always be an enchantment that would be PERFECT for the deck... after the deck does what it’s supposed to do. The danger is you’ll get tricked into adding them up to (and past) the point where the core function of the deck begins to fail.
