Headers13 on Doran, power of the nature

Skeleton Key and Slagwurm Armor are always useful and stay around with being equipment.

griffstick on Equipment with higher toughness boost …

Robe of Stars, Mask of Avacyn, Kite Shield, Slagwurm Armor, Accorder's Shield, Mirror Shield, Vanguard's Shield, Cathar's Shield, Magebane Armor, Healer's Headdress, Screaming Shield, Mirror Shield, Ensouled Scimitar, and Spidersilk Net.

I think that's all of the ones that care about toughness

Accorder's Shield, Slagwurm Armor, Kite Shield, Screaming Shield, Healer's Headdress, Manriki-Gusari

You could also look at some anthems like Builder's Blessing and Lumithread Field if you want a wide-state toughness boost.

Decisive Denial works based on power, not effective power, so you're only really using the counterspell mode. In that case, I'd suggest Dovin's Veto or Disdainful Stroke or Bant Charm.

Archetype of Courage and Archetype of Endurance aren't super good value for the mana you put in. If you want increased combat effectiveness, there are toughness buffs, and if you want protection, that are counterspells or targeted protections like Ephemerate or Dive Down or Simic Charm or Resolute Watchdog

Turn to Frog is not a very exciting removal effect if you're in white and could just be running Swords to Plowshares. Same for the tapdown of Winterthorn Blessing, or the delayed value of Fall of the Impostor. Beast Within or Generous Gift are also premier removal.

You have a few off-theme creatures I think you won't much like: Disciplined Duelist works off power, Horizon Chimera gains a little life which is pretty low value overall, same for Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip. Rootcoil Creeper and Llanowar Scout aren't too bad, but I think there are probably better ramp effects for you.

Into the Wilds is kind of a slow and unreliable card advantage effect. I would usually prefer something like Shamanic Revelation or Collective Unconscious or Lifecrafter's Bestiary.

Aqueous Form and Staggering Insight are best on little creatures that attack a lot. You will often struggle to let your creatures attack at all, so I don't recommend them.

Cathar's Shield and Spidersilk Net are pretty low impact buffs. If you really want this effect, there's Slagwurm Armor.

Traveler's Amulet or Dromoka Monument aren't too exciting when you're in green and could have Vine Trellis or Wall of Roots or Rampant Growth.

Pledge of Unity and Brave the Sands are okish team buffs, but you can do better. Bar the Door and Solidarity are a little more on synergistic for your deck.

Slaughter the Strong is crazy strong in your deck!

ClockworkSwordfish on Rasaad Likes Big Butts

Looks like a great start! I like the idea of combining Rasaad with Raised by Giants to potentially attack for 20... not to mention the mess the rest of your critters will do. I sympathize with having to make cuts. I'm seeing a few cards that I think you could safely cut without missing them too much, though!

For one thing, I think you're a little too heavy on the auras... and of the ones you have, most are kind of subpar. The real problem with auras is that if the creature they're on is killed by anything, you're suddenly down two cards to their one, just like that. I'd say Carapace, Chosen by Heliod, Ritual of Steel and Web are all just very piddly effects. You should aim for enchantments that really make a difference (like Stoneskin!) if you're going to run them... 2 or 3 more toughness isn't really worth a card.

Likewise, I don't really think Animate Wall is worth running. You have seven possible targets which isn't bad, but the problem is that you need to draw a wall and a way to make it able to attack and a way to let it use its toughness for damage. That's kind of a lot of steps. For that reason, probably you could cut most or all of your walls while you're at it. Meanwhile, Treefolk Seedlings will probably never get that big in a two-color deck, and Shield Mate and Snubhorn Sentry don't feel like they'll do enough by the time Rasaad's out and they're usable.

As far as instants go, I'd venture you probably have too many pump spells. Tower Defense is probably strong enough to warrant using, but Solidarity, Iron Will and Bar the Door are mostly overpriced. Your deck's curve isn't so bad, so Great Defender will usually be weaker than you might think, too. If anything, you'd probably prefer having more removal and ways to deal with stuff rather than combat tricks!

Lastly, a lot of your equipment just feels too underwhelming. Slagwurm Armor seems respectable, but Kite Shield, Endoskeleton, Paladin's Shield and Warmonger's Chariot don't do much considering how much mana they ask for.

Overall, the theme is solid and the commander choice is a neat one! I hope these cuts help make your deck the best it can be.

LeeBoon on Kazuul's Monster Magnet

hello i'm taking a cue from your deck with kazuul in the middle, actually i've completely changed your deck, using as euip only Accorder's Shield and Slagwurm Armor combining it with Temur Battle Rage and About Face , i've also added creatures that guarantee a solid start but also that allow you to draw cards ... the theorized deck is white/red with only 14 lands and less equip, if you want more information please contact me

It wasn't an useless suggestion. If someone else ever decides to build this deck, that's one more option to consider.

About Slagwurm Armor, I didn't even remember this card existed. I don't what to cut for it, but I'll be thinking about what to cut for it.

Whoa! I must be behind the times, because uh... I had no idea they were commanding that kind of price tag these days. Well that's understandable!

I guess to prevent myself from giving no useful suggestions, maybe I'll also throw Slagwurm Armor in the pile! Another one-drop is always nice, and even after paying the equip cost, it's dirt-cheap for +6 power.
