Looking for any helpful critique! I'm attempting a hybrid equipment/enchantment build around Gargos, so any help with this strategy would be great, even though I know it may be trying to accomplish too much at once. Feel free to mention them, but I'm not interested in cards much over $10-15 a pop

This deck began as a purely tribal hydra deck once I saw that Gargos was a thing, but the more I played it the more I realized how powerful Gargos was solely with his fights and 6cmc base stats. I've always been absolutely enamored with green and Sylesnia enchantment decks, so I figured I'd give it a shot here. Many thanks to the other top Gargos decks for inspiration and help with card choices.

I suppose I've stubbornly broken off into equipment as well. While I realize they don't proc Gargos's ability, they surely make him quite formidable. If you get a Shield of Kaldra or Darksteel Plate on him, good luck. And similarly, I'm just now trying to see if Inventors' Fair is even worth attempting with only 10-12 artifacts in the deck. I may just want to rely on the burst draw effects, and maybe add Hunter's Insight

Obviously the enchantments are heavy in the deck, with enchantment drawing mechanics, but the real draw comes from burst draw, hence the Spellbook and Reliquary Tower to help keep them in hand.

Of note, the Maybeboard is simply a collection of cards I toyed with while building older versions. Sideboard contains more viable options in my mind.
