My mono white equipment EDH. With Balan, Wandering Knight being the commander, it's mainly a voltron startegy. This deck was based originally upon the C14 EDH preconstructed, but at this point only a couple of its cards remain in the deck. Infect effects such as Grafted Exoskeleton, Ichorclaw Myr or Plague Myr could be added to add a different flavor to this deck. I chose not to include Infect, as it isn't exactly the easiest strategy to pull off and it generates a lot of threat/hate towards us. Balan can very easily stack enough equipment to oneshot people, which we are aiming for, because the less time she spends on the field, the less chances of being blown out. Assault Suit is a very interesting card in this deck, as with it in play you can start negotiating with other players on who will get your Balan, Wandering Knight to smash faces for the turn, essentially giving you "free" combat steps (accumulating commander damage for example).

Good interactions

• formerlyHammer of Nazahn + Stonehewer Giant + any equipment able to protect creatures= removal denial
• formerlyNahiri, the Lithomancer+ Skullclamp= free 2 cards per turn
• Balan, Wandering Knight pairs very well with effects triggering on combat damage, as he gains double strike fairly quickly (eg. the Sword cycle)
• Balan, Wandering Knight+ Hammer of Nazahn+ Cloudsteel Kirin+ any shroud/ hexproof/ protection= nearly unstoppable platinum angel

Deck weaknessess

Main weakness is of course artifact hate. We can protect our artifacts with cards such as Indomitable Archangel (which unfortunately also shrouds Etched Champion or Gold Myr, if we ever need them) and Leonin Abunas. We can also recur artifacts from the graveyard with the help of Nahiri, the Lithomancer, Remember the Fallen or Sun Titan. Worst case scenario, we can always cast Oblation on a particularly valuable equipment about to be exiled. Then because of a relatively low creature count, any Grave Pact effect is going to hurt us particularly. The only card that would solve that is outside our color identity (Sigarda, Host of Herons), so unfortunately we have to remain vulnerable in that field. Reveillark sort of helps with that, but only for so long.

This deck will work just fine with any other equipment focused commander.
