Straightforward voltron build with little focus on creatures. Included are auras and equipment that provide a large array of answers. Tutors help you find the equipment answer you need (Sword of Feast and Famine for ramp and pro green/black; Sword of Fire and Ice for card draw, targeted removal, pro red/blue, etc...). With the variety of voltron equipment and auras, Stonehewer Giant or Sovereigns of Lost Alara can nearly be considered win-cons. A few auras give evasion, as at a 2/2 Geist of Saint Traft can feel frail. If Geist is too frail but one needs to get damage across or create more angels, cards like Maze of Ith can give psuedo-evasion while still allowing Geist's token generator to trigger. Since Sigarda, Host of Herons is not an option in these colors, Orbs of Warding can protect against sacrifice effects, but Geist's low cost makes this less of a concern; this is a fast and aggressive deck that must be played more politically in games with three or more players.
I'm still missing some of the best equipment like Batterskull and haste enablers are entirely limited to Lightning Greaves and Hall of the Bandit Lord. In the case of the equipment, I could see Argentum Armor getting swapped out for Batterskull. As far as haste goes, I will playtest this list around and see how often big plays depend on giving my general haste.
