wallisface on Boros equipment

Some thoughts:

• Running the full playset of Puresteel Paladin feels pretty important here

• A lot of your creatures feel pretty slow/clumbsy, and not particularly designed to work well with equipmemt. From my experience, equipment decks need to hit hard & fast. I’d recommend the likes of Goblin Gaveleer and Kor Duelist. Other options include Kitesail Apprentice and Armament Master.

• too much of your equipment has too high a mana cost, i’d recommend just playing equipments that cost 0-1 mana to cast, with a few 2cmc equipments as the absolute maximum for mana cost.

• your current land count is imo too low, though will work out fine if you manage to lower the curve as suggested above (your deck as it stands probably wants 22-23 lands).

libraryjoy on Looking for a fun budget …

I build a lot of budget decks. My playgroup plays mostly 60-card casual multiplayer. I'm looking for ideas of interesting build-around cards, especially from sets in the last couple of years (I started 7-8 years ago, and have not paid as close attention to recent sets). Some cards I have used in the past are Angelic Accord, Sephara, Sky's Blade, Armament Master, Hoofprints of the Stag, Blackblade Reforged, Nova Chaser, Faerie Swarm, Enduring Scalelord, Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves, Swans of Bryn Argoll, and Rimefeather Owl among others (especially elf decks). Today I started to build Crested Sunmare, only to find out they're $7 each! I had a similar problem when I started building around Behemoth's Herald and Godsire and then realized how much the price had jumped. I'm looking for cards that average less than $1 and provide an interesting building space. I do not play black but am open to any other color or combination of colors. I lean most heavily to Selesnya generally but also enjoy exploring other spaces. Deck lists are welcome, but mainly looking for card suggestions.

Armament Master, Kitesail Apprentice, and Path to Exile should be full 4-ofs. Maximize your deck's threats and answers.

-

A set of Mutavault looks great here:

• Increases threat density while only taking up land slots.
• They get pumped by Armament Master.
• They're colourless bodies for Ghostfire Blade.

You have plenty of basics. A set of colourless lands won't cause much harm. Going up to 22 lands would be ideal.

-

Shuko seems crazy efficient for this deck. It allows any of your Kor's equipped abilities to be active for no additional costs, and can be freely reequipped as needed.

-

While he's a clunky 4-drop that doesn't aid with the Equipment plan, I feel it's worth mentioning Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants. Your deck's low cost creatures gives his -2 ability plenty of targets to choose from for reestablishing a threat on the table.

Probably not terrible as a 2-of if you're ever looking for late game top-end against the slower decks.

Akiri synergizes well with Armament Master. Unless you have a creature card grab in red or white, I don't know how it plays out in Commander, but I play that combo frequently with casual, modern, and legacy decks.

so Kor Skyfisher does two very important things for this deck, the first being that it is a Kor so it gets buffed by Armament Master. And the second is that is can bounce an equipment so you can draw more cards, something that an ago deck really needs.

bobgar on Kor Equipment Combo (Korios)

Hey Airakk! Thanks for the comments!

I found this deck relied heavily on its tribal synergies, which is why I consider it a tribal deck. The main win condition is to use Armament Master as a Kor lord to pump up your other kor creatures, though it certainly occasionally wins with just the kor-equipment synergies.

You are correct, you don't play your 0-mana equipment until you have a draw engine online in most cases. With a 0 cost equipment, unless you plan on equipping it immediately there is rarely a reason to play it. The deck can put out lethal pretty often turn 3, and ideal draws look like T1 Kor Duelist or Kitesail Apprentice, T2 Puresteel Paladin, T3 dump 5-10 0 mana equipment and play a Armament master, equip most of your stuff to Armament Master for free with Puresteel and swing with one of the two other creatures for 20+ damage. Puresteel gives you a bit of extra mana with Paradise Mantle, so you can often play both Armament Master and a Cranial Plating or Captain's Claws turn 3, or a couple Bonesplitters.

Sorry you find the deck Meh! I think you may not understand it well, or may not have tested it significantly. I don't think it is the most competitive deck in modern, but in my experience it is quite powerful and surprisingly consistent and I think given the synergies it would be strange to not consider it a Kor tribal deck.

That being said if you're looking to make it more tribal, cutting Sram for some more Kor synergy cards will do that, and the deck will still perform quite well I think! As GodTierPancake pointed out Stone Haven Outfitter is a nice fit!
