Protection for artifacts in Black and red
Commander Deck Help forum

I am make a equipment voltron with Florian, Voldaren Scion I have about like 14 equipment and thought I should add a few card to protect them. Unfortunately equipment is not very well supported in red and black. So are there some things that just protect artifact in General that would be good for equipments?
To get a better idea of what I am working with here is my decklist. Florian Draining Blade

You could run Wild Ricochet and I think there are a few similar things but those won't help against an overloaded Vandalblast. Your best bet is like plakjekaas said reanimation. To add to their list there is also Goblin Engineer and Daretti, Scrap Savant. Darksteel Forge is a decent option. Most folks run destruction effects for artifacts over exile.

Guardian Beast does the job quite well, but it's not the most financially viable option. There's also Welding Jar for one-time protection.
I agree that recursion is good option. Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler could be useful as targets for the sacrifice clause on those spells, allowing you to get an extra equipment back to your hand.

In your colors there are very few options to save your permanents at instant speed. Imp's Mischief can redirect a spell, Tibalt's Trickery can sometimes work Word of Command can pluck an answer from another player. Those are your most flexible options without including Red Elemental Blast and Pyroblast to deal with blue spells. Wild Ricochet is another option as well.

Red is great for digging them back up out of the graveyard with stuff like Goblin Welder, Trash for Treasure, Scrap Mastery. I know it's recursion, not protection, but it does make sure you can keep going after the removal spells all the same.
