First draft of Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith.

I did a bunch of goldfishing and here are my thoughts so far:Bloodforged Battle-Axe - This card is way better than I initially thought it would be. It can get out of hand very quickly, especially with things that cheat equip costs like Puresteel Paladin, Balan, Wandering Knight, Hammer of Nazahn, Sigarda's Aid, and Armory Automaton. The card draw with Puresteel Paladin and free equipping was extra good.

Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith plus Hammer of Nazahn - This was also better than I initially anticipated. I thought the free equip ability on the hammer was good but more of an afterthought, but it is actually the strongest part of having Nazahn as the commander. He essentially reads 4WG 7/4 Indestructible, Whenever an equipment enters the battlefield under your control you may equip it to a creature you control. This is really solid for 6 mana.

Blade of Selves - Does very good work with Nazahn. It equips for free when the Hammer is in play so you're essentially paying 2 for it. With it attached to Nazahn, you get 2 equipment to your hand on attack, which again will equip for free when you cast them.

If left unchecked the deck reaches critical mass very quickly, topping things off with Darksteel Forge or Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Traverse the Outlands, Rishkar's Expertise, Mirari's Wake, Zendikar Resurgent, and Garruk, Primal Hunter will just blow things open. It can be pretty mana hungry, but if you have the mana you can just start going bonkers.

Oreskos Explorer - I was goldfishing so hard to tell for sure, but every time I had this guy I had already ramped quite a bit. I'm guessing there wouldn't have been more than one opponent who had more lands than me if that. Will probably be the one of the first cards on the chopping block.

Alms Collector - I just get the feeling this is a really good card for white. People are constantly drawing extra in EDH and this shuts them down a bit while also drawing cards for you.

I had a really hard time fitting in all the ramp, card draw, and removal I'd normally want in an EDH deck, just for the amount of dedication it requires to have enough equipment and creatures needed. I was able to get in the ramp, enough card draw that it feels pretty good, but feel like I am probably too low on removal. Will need to play some real games with people to know for sure, but I think that's what I am going to have to focus on with changes to the deck.
