Heavenly Blademaster

Creature — Angel

Flying, double strike

When Heavenly Blademaster enters the battlefield, you may attach any number of Auras and Equipment you control to it.

Other creatures you control get +1/+1 for each Aura and Equipment attached to Heavenly Blademaster.

Conventional wisdom is 36-38 lands is where you wanna be. I almost always do 36.

I would cut Reckless Crew, Rune of Sustenance and Rune of Speed.

One thing I thought of, when putting my list together, is that creatures with doublestrike are extra good because of the damage bonus Bruenor gives. Reyav, Master Smith helps with that, but it's only one card. In the maybeboard of my deck I listed a bunch of doublestrikers. I think Mirran Crusader, Aven Sunstriker, Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Blade Historian, Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder, Boros Swiftblade, Heavenly Blademaster, Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas, Skyhunter Skirmisher, and Oketra the True are some stand-outs. It's hard to fit them all in but a few might be good.

I really like your selection of creatures though! Got all the good ones. Nice and cheap, too. Swiftblade Vindicator is an excellent inclusion.

Well I'll be a Bearded Gnome is my deck

Removing
Mirror Entity Not ideal for this deck
Emeria Shepherd Not sure this recursion is worth it here
Aura Shards Not enough creatures come out for it to help much
Glorious Sunrise Might try this one later but for now I want trample through equipment
Heavenly Blademaster Was put in as a backup plan but expensive to bring out

Adding
Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist Equip for free!
Sigarda's Aid Equip for free (and instantly)!
Basilisk Collar Who doesn't like cheap Deathtouch and Lifelink?
Belt of Giant Strength This could give a quick +8/+8 to Catti-brie of Mithral Hall
Bloodforged Battle-Axe Cheap to cast and equip, and makes copies for more equip counters

I really like Sram when you can keep the draw engine going! (that's the main reason I don't use him in my deck, I'm usually cheating in stuff rather than casting and my deck is only equipment). Although, you still might want to peek through a few of the cards in my deck Pure Nahiri for some upgrades. Note: my overall deck strategy is a bit different, but it shares a lot of cards.

The one that instantly stood out to me is using Settle the Wreckage over Winds of Abandon. The main reason to use Settle is that it can hit your own creatures and if you ever pump out a bunch of tokens you can instantly turn that into a ton of lands. You can even combo that in a political move with attack triggers if the board is stalemated.

For example: once I had Argentum Armor I had cheated out on a 1/1 soldier token with a bunch of other tokens I had flooded the field with and some other equipments I didn't have the mana to equip. I also had a Heavenly Blademaster in my hand I wanted to drop but couldn't pay for and keep protected from removal at the same time. I bargained with another player to let me swing at him without reacting so I could use the Armor's attack trigger to blow up another player's commander that was preventing me from winning. I Settled my own soldiers (leaving one behind as a chump blocker) before combat damage and got about 5 plains on the field. The next turn I dropped the Blademaster and attached everything to her and won (hint, Blade of Selves and the Kaldra equipment are particularly nasty on her if you can get them all out at once).

Abandon is really good for wiping the field of things like Indestructible creatures or creatures you really don't want in the graveyard, so I can understand keeping it in. Just thought I'd make the suggestion since White lacks a lot of ways to get explosive ramp. Although Blade of Selves can also be used on a Knight of the White Orchid attacking a green player and as long as you are in a typical 4 person EDH pod you'll get 3 lands that come in untapped from the 3 ETB triggers.

I see you have Sword of the Animist already. Awesome! I also use Terrain Generator and Lotus Field in my Nahiri equipment deck for additional non-artifact ramp. It works really well. I've also been known to Settle the Wreckage several of my own tokens after moving the equipment to another creature like Balan, Armory Automaton , or Heavenly Blademaster . I've gotten 6 lands before on a single turn doing this! Also, I know you said you didn't want to run rocks but so many people don't know that Inspiring Statuary is ridiculously strong in equipment decks. Basically it turns all of your equipment into mana rocks! Windbrisk Heights is also another land-based way of cheating out a high mana cost card.

My deck if you're curious: Pure Nahiri

I highly recommend Heavenly Blademaster for any Ardenn deck, as she can allow for a quick overrun strat in the event your Kobold pal is removed. Golem-Skin Gauntlets also give a cheap and incredibly efficient boost. Single Combat is like Divine Reckoning but with the added benefit that your opponents are hosed and open to your attacks for a full turn (outside of the single creature they can keep).

Valduk, Keeper of the Flame, Heavenly Blademaster, Eidolon of Countless Battles, Brood Keeper. You don't seem to be focusing on auras, so maybe not the last two.

Crown of the Ages could be a sideboard card in case your opponents have enough auras to make it funny. It doesn't change control of the aura but you get access to other colors.

Vow of Duty, Vow of Lightning, Martial Impetus, Shiny Impetus and Bloodthirsty Blade are good defensive cards until you put them all on your guy and wreck shop.

Thanks for your indepth advice, I see you have a similar deck! OK.

CUTS: Angel of Finality_ Heavenly Blademaster_ Pristine Angel_ Sephara, Sky's Blade_ Idyllic Grange_

possible Card Draw additions:

Mazemind Tome_ Sevinne's Reclamation_ Bag of Holding_ Magus of the Wheel_ Arch of Orazca_

Budget is not Unlimited, but there is a budget, so, Land Tax and Scroll Rack are not really economically feasible.
