Deck Help forum

Yep. You heard me. Its certainly weird, and I have little experience with Voltron, let alone in a color that doesn't synergize with Artfacts (did I mention it's Equipment Voltron?). The general is Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief , so she seems to work well with the strategy. Also, there's a ton of mana rocks/ramp so that I can play Drana early, then win shortly after from her mana ability. I like how it has done in playtesting, but I have 8 empty slots, as well as about 7 or 8 more that are just being filled by your general Black goodstuff (Visara the Dreadful , Sepulchral Primordial , etc). I don't have the typical Black Sacrifice package (Grave Pact , Skullclamp , Bloodghast , Gravecrawler , you get it) since this deck doesn't often have excess creatures to throw away.
So my question is what to add? Do I need more Equipment? More mana rocks? More spot removal or card draw? Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Whoa. That was poor wording on my part. I know that's the case (otherwise Illusionist's Bracers would be useless), but thanks for catching that.

Note that Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief does not have a mana ability.
A mana ability is defined as follows:
605.1a. An activated ability is a mana ability if it meets three criteria: it doesn't have a target, it could put mana into a player's mana pool when it resolves, and it's not a loyalty ability.
