[EDH] Mono W Equipment deck Eight-and-a-Half-Tails [Development]

[Aiyakido]

Hi,
I'm new to these forums but this looked like the ideal place to post my decklist.
It's equipmend themed. It's still a rather big list and i think i still need to cut like 13 cards from it.

I also dont know what a good mana base would be for a mono color deck. I was thinking along the lines of 38 lands or something.

anyway, the list:

Auriok Windwalker

Steelshaper apprentice
Stonehewer Giant
Taj-Nar Swordsmith

Lands:

Plains


With some sample hands (that were not really working good cuss the amount of lands and cards aren't correct yet) I was drawing to many spells and not enough creatures so i think it's best to cut some of the equipment and spells first before cutting into the creature base.

Man, I really wish I still had my 8 1/2 Tails deck together. I tend to think up stupid themes and build decks that way. This was my "can I build a deck where my only creature is my general and make it good." The answer to that was yes, my lord yes. I ran something in the neighborhood of 30 pieces of equipment. The way the deck wins late game is COP White and Story Circle. Make their stuff white, take no damage. White tutors and plenty of want to shuffle the graveyard in are key. I also played 13 wrath effects. Board wipes don't really matter when you only have one critter. Also, stuff that makes tokens. Elspeth, Kjeldoran Outpost, things like that. I don't usually play land destruction but that's probably a good way to go if you want to be jerky. Land Tax is also a auto in. Thinning your deck so you're only drawing gas is important. Luckily there are MANY ways to tutor up an enchantment in white. I'll attempt to recreate my list and post it here in the next few days.
