This deck is built around Bruenor Battlehammer . My initial inspiration for the deck was that I recieved Bruenor in a pack and I'd never made an equipment-based EDH deck yet. Bruenor seemed to me like the perfect commander for this type of deck. And so the research began.

The deck is meant to work such that equipments will have maximum potential by having creatures that have bonuses for equipments, a bonus they will get in addition to the bonus they recieve by Bruenor. Therefore, there are not many artifacts that provide power-bonus as that sort of bonus will be given by Bruenor. The creatures hence recieve bonuses and most of them have abilities that will trigger based on how many equipments they have, or whether they are equipped or not. In addition, some creatures, sorceries and enchantments provide the ability of searching for specific equipments, where Colossus Hammer and Kaldra Compleat are certain favourites to be searched for, and if they are already on the battlefield, Masterwork of Ingenuity is a must have.

Most artifacts have low mana casting-cost, and a higher equip-cost. This is because Bruenor dispatches this equip-cost for the first equip each turn. In addition, there are several creatures, which as Brass Squire that further allow us to weave away from the equip-cost. Some creatures also make it cheaper to cast equipments, which help when it comes to higher cost equipments, such as Kaldra Compleat . There is the possibility that your opponent have a lot of cards that destroy artifacts. For this, I have also added some cards that let you search your graveyard for artifacts, and cast them anew, such as Reconstruct History and Triumphant Reckoning .

However, I want feedback on what you all think about this deck, it's overall synergy, type-distribution etc. Should I have more instant cards? What obvious weaknesses should I cover? What cards could improve the deck? All help is appreciated!
