This is my 8th Commander deck. I guess I realized too late how much I liked the Knights theme where it came out highly supported in Throne of Eldraine. A couple of decks in Standard, a Historic Brawl deck, and now an EDH deck that I'm eager to complete.

There isn't much surprise to what this deck intends to do. Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale is all about Equipment sharing among Knights we control, and here there are plenty of them. Embercleave, Blackblade Reforged and Sword of the Animist are among the most notorious. Swiftfoot Boots brings protection to our creatures and Diamond Pick-Axe ramps us with treasure whenever we attack. But of all the Equipment present, our commander’s ability to reduce equipping costs to zero makes Colossus Hammer and Argentum Armor the usual major threats, highly boosting combat damage.

As for spells, there's a mix of board control (Single Combat, Lightning Helix), Equipment tutoring (Fighter Class, Open the Armory) and card-draw (Read the Bones, Painful Truths). I think there's a good and balanced mix here.

And as for creatures, tons of Knights are present, like Worthy Knight, Inspiring Veteran and Acclaimed Contender, creatures with potential card-draw like Midnight Reaper and Stormfist Crusader, and other must-haves in a deck that tries to go aggro. As for the legends, we have a non-Knight Halvar, God of Battle   that enhances Equipment-sharing, Danitha Capashen, Paragon who reduces the cost of our Equipment, and Aryel, Knight of Windgrace that can be very efficient in removing some kind of threats.

The main idea is to have as many attacking equipped knights as we can, so we can dig in our library for those pieces missing in-board, like Knights' Charge for example.

I'm trying to stay budget-friendly to afford all the pieces, but I still think it's consistent.
