I'm not too familiar with this archetype but I'll do my best. Given your deck has a focus on your commander which has built in ward and you are in blue, some additional draw can't hurt. I like Mystic Remora for a cheap and easy draw source. Perhaps even a Cloud Key or Semblance Anvil for artifact ramp? Speaking of artifacts, I would put in the Academy Ruins in the maybeboard over vault of the archangel. Vault requires a lot of mana and isn't necessary while academy requires less mana and can recur 1/3rd of your deck.

Sword of Vengeance > Wand of Orcus - You aren't a token or zombie based strategy. I do understand the appeal of having a wide token base which can help against edict effects. That being said, you already have a fair amount of hexproof/shroud so boardwipes are your biggest issues. I would suggest something similar to flicker as a means to reutilize ETB effects and protect from wipes but given it would remove auras and equipments, it isn't as helpful. As such Sword of vengeance is keyword soup which is also easier to cast at the same CMC.

Inspiring Statuary - Idk if this is good for your build but I imagine u can tap your (used) equipment to help pay for other stuff.

Stoneforge Mystic > Brotherhood Regalia - Ward is nice, can't be blocked is better. Do you need the redundancy for ward? I feel you might be better served with Stoneforge which replaces itself and can help cheat equipment into play.

How has Blade of Shared Souls been playing for you? Seems cool but not needed. Perhaps a Codsworth, Handy Helper might be more helpful as a ramp piece.

Same question with Assassin Gauntlet and Anduril, Narsil Reforged, how have they been?

Overall it's a solid deck. I think my favorite card in here is the conqueror's flail! Triple boost while requiring them to use instants prior to battle, gotta love it all for 2 mana! I like how you have a balance of removal, defense and artifacts. Your creature count is slightly low for my tastes but given your commander is the lynchpin of the deck, it makes sense to prioritize artifacts > creature count.

I would run it. It’s got the bottom effect of Forge Anew, which is nice since our commander doesn’t help with the initial equip and only passes the equipment around for free. Codsworth is still Reanimate-able. I like that it ramps out our equipment with the second ability. Codsworth helps synergize with our commander by simultaneously protecting it some and speeding up the game plan of equip+kill.

The question really is what would we take out? Probably take out Loyal Warhound or Thousand Moons Smithy  ^Flip for it?

Loyal warhound is the second iteration to Knight of the White Orchid which is both played in this deck understandably for ramp, but Codsworth ramps out equipment every time while the warhound may miss if you have the greatest or tie the greatest land count.

I haven’t given Thousand Moons Smithy  ^Flip a shot yet. Seems like a good alternate win con of going wide and synergizes well with the artifact theme, but has nothing to do with helping our equipments get equipped outside of becoming a land.
