The concept for this one is pretty simple: get creatures out that you can equip and do stuff with. It's a little Voltron-y with the cheap commander and equipment, but it's not all-in on equipping Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. If I get the right draw with the right swords, etc. I will try to sneak in some good hits for commander damage, but most times his role is to sit back and protect others and let them do the damage.

For giggles, I added a few cards that should allow me to kill people on the spot, though I'm not all-in on pulling that combo off. It's just a nice-to-have in case a game needs to end. The way it works is:

• get Mana Vault or Grim Monolith on the battlefield
• get cloudstone curio on the battlefield
• get Phyrexian Altar or Gemstone Array on the battlefield
• float , cast Kor Skyfisher or Aviary Mechanic targeting Mana Vault/Grim Monolith
• cast Mana Vault/Grim Monolith with the rest of the floating mana (assumes you have at least initially available)
• at this point you cast a non-artifact creature, targeting Kor Skyfisher /Aviary Mechanic from the cloudstone curio effect
• float from the Mana Vault/Grim Monolith, re-cast Kor Skyfisher /Aviary Mechanic bouncing Mana Vault/Grim Monolith

and so on. it can go infinite if you have spell reducers out like Cloudstone Key, Foundry Inspector and/or Pearl Medallion. if you can use Stormfront Riders every so often, you'll get a couple tokens which you can use to sacrifice to the Phyrexian Altar to get the to recast the creatures that bounce stuff. there's a handful of lands that give more than 1 mana, which should help get a few casts in even if you're missing the optimal setup and you can use Ichor Wellspring and Prophetic Prism to draw through the deck to find other pieces to make it go infinite or at least become more efficient (hopefully). all the while, Eight-and-a-Half-Tails can sit back ready to protect opponents shenanigans, though it's quite likely using him will stop things pretty quickly (for a turn at least). if you do get to a state where you can generate infinite mana and filter it to be , you should be able to continue the cycle, generally, supplementing Inquisitor Exarch every so often to force an opponent to lose 2 life over and over.
