I added a Cavern of Souls I got for x-mas to help be able to cast my commander without him getting countered as well as an Echoing Deeps to help if one of the 8 lands needed for the monument gets milled or nuked and a Power Depot just to add 1 more artifact land because of Cranial Plating

As an example, this list costs well-under half of the money of your current list, but will significantly outperform it by prettymuch every metric:

Hey, nice job. I think you may want to cut a few of your legendary equipment since Arna can't copy them. I do have a few suggestions for you that're budget friendly but have been very impactful for me.

EQUIPMENT:

Blade of Shared Souls can start cloning things like Esper Sentinel or Spark Double (copying Arna).

Plate Armor is free to equip in no time. This card is amazing here.

Champion's Helm is a nice power/toughness boost that protects Arna and other legendaries. This card used to be $10+ for a reason.

Thran Power Suit and Cranial Plating are 2 more Nettlecyst-ish effects.

CARD DRAW:

Shimmer Dragon is another card that used to be expensive. You can tap equipment to draw and being tapped doesn't effect how the equipment works at all.

UTILITY:

Forge Anew has a lot of random utility, but the instant speed equipping on your turn is pretty gross.

Chrome Host Seedshark is a card I haven't seen much, but those incubate tokens are basically creatures on demand and carry equipment like champs post-boardwipe. I've been super impressed in the few games I've seen it.

Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Arna's Kennundrüm: Counters Auraquipment?

Taida on Affinity and what to cut

Maybe you can try Experimental Synthesizer. Gives you some draw until end of turn, and you can sac it with whatever, and the effect triggers again. I also like Etched Champion quite a lot, as it is quite difficult to remove and is both amazing blocking and attacking. A substitute to Cranial Plating could be Nettlecyst, or you can even run both. Something like Skilled Animator, Kenku Artificer or Ensoul Artifact can also be very fun, especially if used on an Ornithopter or any indestructible land such as Silverbluff Bridge or Darksteel Citadel. Another affinity card I have a sweetspot for is Broodstar, but it needs colored mana, so it is not as easy to cast as a Myr Enforcer.

Blackerhawk on Affinity and what to cut

Hey nuperokaso , thanks for the input. Black mana was in the deck for the alternative equip cost of Cranial Plating, but Mistvault Bridge coming into play tapped does slow me down. I do have 4 Memnites and 4 Welding Jars in my collection, and could replace the remaining 2 Myr Enforcers with those. Or maybe instead of the Gingerbrute? Would you go Fling over Shrapnel Blast? As it can do a lot more damage with the Cranial Plating attached to a creature and with the Arcbound Ravager after he eats the rest of the crew...

I greatly appreciate your response and any other input is more than welcome.

You will need to remove 18 card to get to 60: - 2 Mystic Forge and 4 Deadly Dispute - Affinity is an aggro deck; it wants to put additional creatures on board, not just draw cards. You may leave Thoughtcast and Thought Monitor. That will also rid you of black color entirely. - 4 Mistvault Bridge - 22 lands is too much for a 60 card deck that mostly plays free spells. You also don't want to draw multiple tapped lands. - 2 Shrapnel Blast - You don't want multiples in your opening hand, because then you won't have enough artifacts to cast your spells. You are also playing another sacrifice outlet (Arcbound Ravager) and too many sacrifice effect have diminishing returns. - 2 Myr Enforcer - You were playing 12 7 mana spells, that's simply too much. You can't keep opening hand with 4 of them. - 4 Lotus Petal - The only card in your deck that was not Modern legal. Also it's useless in longer game.

After these cuts, your deck has 60 card. However, 10 of them are non-artifacts, which may be more than you would like.

I will also give you a few other tips: - If you are too low on 0 mana cost cards, try Memnite or Welding Jar. Jar does something even in longer game, unlike your original Lotus Petal. - Nettlecyst - Acts similarly to the Cranial Plating, but comes with a body and has a good toughness. If you would play it, I suggest that you replace them for Arcbound Ravager, as they are doing opposite things.

Crow_Umbra I mean, it looks fine to me, but just by looking at it you could swap out Vraska's Fall for something like Abyssal Gatekeeper, I know why Vraskas fall is there though. Most of the cards I would suggest are already in your sideboard, except for some like Cranial Plating.

I have the Necron Dynasties precon that's currently being upgraded, let me know what I should add next or remove to make it more appealing and competitive in the casual pod. This seems to be a really good commander deck full of sacrifices. Here's the list of the cards on the deck:
