White as a color gets a lot of hate in EDH for not being very strong, but Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile will make sure your opponents hate you, especially if they like to attack with creatures.

This deck has two main functions:

The best defense

To make sure your opponents are afraid to attack or block, or surprise them with Sigarda's Aid to have our archer shoot down their attack in a flash.

Is a good offense

To use our kithkin and their weapons to beat down our opponents, using Brigid's threatening presence to prevent them from blocking.

Suiting up Brigid

Brigid's ability is fine on it's own, but it won't take out anything spectacular, thankfully, with the power of equipment, we can give Brigid the tools she needs to rain hellfire on our opponents creatures.

Gorgon's Head, Gorgon Flail, Basilisk Collar, and Quietus Spike all grant deathtouch, making them very powerful when paired with Brigid. These are all great equipments, but there are a few more obscure ones that have some crazy effects when paired with Brigid, and each other.

Scythe of the Wretched allows us to steal our opponents creatures with Brigid, typically with deathtouch, and reanimate them for ourselves.

Kusari-Gama can cause a chain reaction killing all of our opponents creatures, regardless if they blocked or not.

The Power of Kithkin

It's not a secret that Kithkin aren't a well represented tribe. Their lack of support basically since Shadowmoor means the pool of good kithkin is very limited.

To combat this, the deck also has synergies revolving around Soldiers and Clerics, both of which have major support cards that are also Kithkin, these being Preeminent Captain and Battletide Alchemist, which are both fairly strong cards. Battletide can defend us from attacks should Brigid not be there to do it herself, and Preeminent Captain saves us mana cheating in our soldiers.

We also just run generally good equipment fetching cards like Stonehewer Giant and Stoneforge Mystic.

My opponents don't want to attack or block, what can Brigid do?

A lot, actually. We can force them to either attack or block with a number of cards. Odric, Master Tactician lets us choose which creatures block during combat, allowing you to kill any and/or all of them with Brigid.

We can force our opponents to attack with Oracle en-Vec (A card not currently in the list but it will be tested), and anything they refuse to attack with will simply die anyways.

As far as equipments go, Nemesis Mask makes our opponents block with any and all creatures, and since it's equipment, we can easily tutor it to the battlefield

I'm happy to hear any suggestions, and look forward to experimenting with the deck!
