"Upgrading" my Valduk, Keeper of the Flame deck. Link: Valduk, Valduk, Valduk is on FIRE!

Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders is a pretty cool guy. He's low cost, and has two powerful effects. I'm a fan of Voltron and Aggro strategies, so having "haste" (my favorite evergreen keyword) and "flying" slapped onto every equipment I have sounds tasty. And equally as important: he's a mana rock for artifact spells and abilities. So, he has the more-relevant part of Renowned Weaponsmith and makes all equipment extra spicy.

This deck is focused around equipping creatures and beating face. We have a fair amount of equipment and some good targets to attach that equipment to. Additionally, we have the option of going wide with a token swarm.

Masters-at-Arms - While there are a lot of creatures in the deck, these ones will be the main targets for our equipment.

• Armory Automaton
• Champion of the Flame
• Darksteel Colossus
• Etched Champion
• Godo, Bandit Warlord
• Hellkite Tyrant
• Kazuul's Toll Collector
• Metalwork Colossus
• Myr Battlesphere
• Shimmer Dragon
• Steel Hellkite
• Valduk, Keeper of the Flame

Armory - The equipment we have should cover most bases---protection, additional keywords, stat-boosting, ramp, card draw...some even enter with creatures thanks to "Living Weapon."

• Basilisk Collar
• Batterskull
• Darksteel Plate
• Explorer's Scope
• Flayer Husk
• Grafted Exoskeleton
• Hero's Blade
• Lightning Greaves
• Loxodon Warhammer
• Mask of Memory
• Rogue's Gloves
• Sai of the Shinobi
• Scytheclaw
• Shadowspear
• Shuko
• Skullclamp
• Swiftfoot Boots
• Sword of Sinew and Steel
• Sword of the Animist

Token Swarming - If we can't go tall, we should be able to go wide.

• Myr Battlesphere
• Sai, Master Thopterist
• Thopter Engineer
• Valduk, Keeper of the Flame
• Efficient Construction
• Mirrodin Besieged
• Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
• Saheeli, the Gifted
• Foundry of the Consuls

Win-Cons (Beyond combat damage with big dudes or tokens)

• Mechanized Production - One of the two alt-wincons in the deck. It is slow moving, and is arguably best used on a 1/1 Thopter token. However, it could also be used on any of the Darksteel artifacts in the deck. Without any counterspells in the deck (as of this writing), this will likely not go off.
• Grafted Exoskeleton - Some people don't like Infect in EDH. I don't mind it, and this deck benefits from it. The most obvious target for this is Darksteel Colossus, but any of the bigger creatures in the deck will do.
• Mirrodin Besieged - Mostly present for the Mirran choice, but Phyrexian can be a janky play after getting hit with an overloaded Vandalblast
• Hellkite Tyrant - No one is going to let this dude connect, but he's there to present that threat and I enjoy alternate win-cons.
