My "team" and I have been developing a deck to utilize Puresteel Paladin in an equipment centered build. We think we're onto something Here's a rough list we have so far:
The Light Brigade
12 Plains
4 Wasteland
4 Flagstones of Trokair
4 Kor Duelist
4 Puresteel Paladin
4 Stoneforge Mystic
3 Serra Avenger
3 Mother of Runes
3 Swords to Plowshares
3 Armageddon
4 Aether Vial
4 Paradise Mantle
2 Accorder's Shield
3 Umezawa's Jitte
1 Lightning Greaves
1 Argentum Armor
1 Sword of Fire and Ice
Explanation of strategy:
The deck is able to play a strong aggro game with it's solid number of creatures.
It has several paths to victory:
1. Death by a million cuts from raw aggro + equipment
2. Armageddon + Accorder Paladin to win with card advantage and creature advantage.
3. Mana denial from wastelands + armageddon for more mana denial.
Matchups
Aggro:
We have strong board presence and mana denial ability
Control:
Aether vial + mana denial to try to ride to victory.
Combo:
Mana denial and dedicated sideboard slots.
---
Matchups, analysis, and everything else will be mproved. This is just a rough draft of the primer.
My thoughts:
-We could use more mana denial
-I want to fit Basilisk collar in there somewhere.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Please help us improve the deck!

I just noticed that there's another thread floating around that uses puresteel paladin. However, I believe our approach to the card and our lists are different enough to warrant a different thread.
