I know it's situational, but I think Sword of Feast and Famine is my preferred favorite, especially given my meta. In addition, Kellan, the Fae-Blooded fetchs you combo pieces. Tiana, Ship's Caretaker allows you to retain equipments against removal. Valduk, Keeper of the Flame makes a pretty good alternate win con.

legendofa I usually run Rhys the Redeemed, and am killed on sight. Only time I'm not killed on sight using that deck is when my mom is doing Krenko.

The other decks I use is my Baird, Steward of Argive pillow fort deck, and sometimes my Valduk, Keeper of the Flame Voltron deck.

I would define magical Christmas land as relying on 3 or more single cards without 2ce the number of ways to find them. Especially if it lacks multiple replacements for the *combo pieces.

In edh it comes up the most due to the singleton nature of the format. If you have enough synergy like your example maybe it could fit. Fetchlands as mentioned is a big one. Or have more reasons to run cards that benefit from multiple artifact on your side or opponents. Dack Fayden steals any perm. Karn, the Great Creator kills 0 cmc permanents. Tldr With enough synergy it can work.

Valduk, Keeper of the Treasury For instance I have a mono red equipment vultron deck based around making a ton of treasures. I run Bludgeon Brawl as a 3 mana do nothing most of the time. This is because there is alot that needs to go right with only some artifact tutors in the deck. Valduk, Keeper of the Flame or one of the 2 other payoffs for having many equipment that do nothing on a creature, multiple treasures to equipt and the least important the Bludgeon Brawl which I have no tutors for. I can guarantee that this has worked out and swung a game before but it's so unlikely that the scenario of it happening and if it does that it actually finishes a game it is magical chrismas land.

I'd love to offer suggestions, but hope I can get a bit more of your experience and insight into what you think isn't coming together?

I've played Voltron in a few different forms via Tuvasa the Sunlit, Mazzy, Truesword Paladin, and Brokkos, Apex of Forever. I noticed that the most successful games that I had were ones where I locked onto a single player, usually whoever was playing the most potentially volatile commander, and I'd only attack them.

If Rog is one of your primary Voltron targets, you could run Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar as a way to hit the whole table. Additionally both Valduk, Keeper of the Flame and Kazuul's Toll Collector could be Voltron targets, since both can hold equipment well.

There are a couple of cards from White Equipment voltron strats that I'm surprised you aren't currently running in Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist and Leonin Shikari.

Lastly, I think you could run a couple more 2 mana rocks

Very solid deck. A couple of my friends I play with have Zurgo decks, and they're more fun to watch when I don't have to sit across from them lol.

Have you considered Valduk, Keeper of the Flame or Kazuul's Toll Collector as "back up Zurgos" in case he eats too much removal? I know creature slots are premium in Voltron decks like these.

I think I'm going to keep play-testing a blink-focused Preston, but Vengeful Dreams seems like really cool tech. If I ever revive my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck, or play some other white-adjacent graveyard deck, I think that could be great tech.

Solitude is solid. I don't currently own a copy at the moment.

Preston is currently just a theoretical brew for me. I've had a desire to build another mono-color deck. I've also recently revisited and updated a Valduk, Keeper of the Flame deck I brewed earlier this year as a potential candidate. In a similar vein, I've considered converting my Saryth, the Viper's Fang deck into Kosei, Penitent Warlord.

There's precendence for this ability in red due to Valduk, Keeper of the Flame, but it really feels like a Selesnya card. Very cool design.

In the works of crafting a simular deck for mtgo using Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders or perhaps Valduk, Keeper of the Flame if I want to go to mono red built around turning treasuresand other token artifacts into equipment with Bludgeon Brawl
