I was thinking of building a gwyn deck as well. Here are some cards I think could be cool to run in this deck. Obviously a lot of options.

equipment

• Colossus Hammer - this was built for syr gwyn in mind
• Explorer's Scope - ramp, always important
• Heartseeker - with gwyn, tap to kill target creature
• Surestrike Trident - if you have this and Colossus Hammer it reads, each creature taps to deal 10+ damage to an opponent.
• Ogre's Cleaver - cheap artifact and now free equip
• Haunted Cloak
• Infiltration Lens
• Vorrac Battlehorns - if you want to be mean, put this on syr gwyn
• Loxodon Warhammer
• Chariot of Victory
• Fleetfeather Sandals
• Fireshrieker
• Moonsilver Spear - doesn't fit the theme but flying angels are always fun
• Scythe of the Wretched - this plus Grappling Hook means steal any creature you can kill that isn't tapped
• Strata Scythe - pick the best color of the three. keep in mind this includes lands opponents control

enchantments

• Authority of the Consuls - slow everyone and gain life
• Blind Obedience - slow everyone down while draining them and gaining life
• Brave the Sands - never worry about swinging each turn and make chump blockers able to block two huge creatures
• Sigarda's Aid - just amazing

removal

• Fumigate
• Winds of Abandon
• Despark
• Merciless Eviction
• True Love's Kiss
• Shenanigans

creatures

• Leonin Shikari - not a knight but now you can switch equipment for free in combat before damage is dealt
• Midnight Reaper
• Syr Alin, the Lion's Claw
• Knight of Grace
• Josu Vess, Lich Knight - late game win condition
• Mirran Crusader
• Vona, Butcher of Magan
• Fiendslayer Paladin
• Silverblade Paladin

combo

Required are Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale and Surestrike Trident . Then you can just go down the line of creatures attaching all of your power increasing equipment and tapping them for tons of damage. If you have Leonin Shikari and Brave the Sands out, then you can all out attack and then do the tapping out on the endstep before your turn. If you don't have Surestrike Trident but instead have Heartseeker then you can just kill a creature for each one you control.

Along with untap shenanigans you could run some vigilance so that your vehicles can be animated on other turns as blockers. Things like Brave the Sands (on point for flavor), Heliod, God of the Sun and Angelic Field Marshal . Also Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is a great defensive creature to crew your vehicles with.

Thank you chadsansing for the suggestions! I always love having another point of view when I craft decks!

• Always Watching : it's true that the card would fit in the deck but I am afraid it might not be as efficient since we spawn a lot of tokens.

• Intangible Virtue : I have been thinking of this card for a while and people from my LGS also have been suggesting it as well. I think you are right, it would help my tokens get bigger earlier in the game, making them very threatening.

• High Ground : I was running Brave the Sands before in the deck with the same idea, that it adds value when Brimaz blocks. The thing is, opponents usually make sure that Brimaz can't block, mainly because they do not want to spawn even more tokens for you, making those enchantments dead cards.

• Spear of Heliod : I am already running it but since tappedout puts it in artifact as its first type, I did the same in the description. But definitely, it reinforces the idea that the card truly belongs in the deck!

• Comeuppance : I never saw the card before and I must say that I really like it. It's a surprise wrath and since I sometimes play in duel commander as well, I think I need to make room for it. It can also get someone's blast back to his face, I like it. Thanks!

• Settle the Wreckage : I love the card in standard and must say, it's a good card to have when another aggro deck is more aggressive than yours. I think I should run it, just in case.

• Teferi's Protection : that's the card I am dreaming of. But unfortunately, I would not be able to afford it, especially because I like to always create new decks rather than have only one to play with. It allows for greater flexibility when playing with a new group.

Thank you again for the new ideas that you added up, it truly helps!

Outstanding deck Sjorpha! I don't know if you're still trying to keep it up to date, but I'll still make a few suggestion for the sake of discussion and getting your opinion. My deck is also a bit more budget minded so my suggestions might also reflect that...

You are right that Behind the Scenes and skulk gives these Doran decks and alike a whole new dimension. I also thought that Vigilance could be equally powerful. Imagine being able to attack, block and then use convoke? Maybe something like Brave the Sands ?

How about Forbidding Watchtower for some land tech?

Did you notice Arboreal Grazer could be a potentially advantageous replacement or doubling for Birds of Paradise ? Bigger body and his ramp, although lost if you skip a land drop, 1) doesn't precludes you to attack, 2) survives the body and 3) he counts double to Chord of Calling .

Also would you consider Jeskai Barricade a good option to avoid a spot removal? It lets you replay Treefolk Harbinger or an eventual Arboreal Grazer . Unlike Selfless Spirit or Spellskite you can keep it in hand. And since you have 2 Assault Formation it might attack if its needed.

And what do you think of Tangle Angler ? This ugly thing could be a two turn clock alternative win con and a repeatable removal.

I enjoy this list. +1

Aminatou, the Fateshifter would be great in here. Brave the Sands seems like an easy cut.

Dear lord I love the flavour of this so much. My only possible suggestion is maybe Brave the Sands but the deck is already so good that I understand if it cannot be squeezed in.
