Duplicant - creature removal + creature.
Elesh Norn - gives your cat army +2/+2
Felidar Sovereign - The Win Cat if it doesn't get killed.
Indomitable Archangel + Leonin Abunas - protect your artifacts
Mentor of the Meek - great draw engine once Kemba gets going making cats.
Mother of Runes - Protects you creatures from spot removal.
Silverblade Paladin - giving kemba double strike is awesome
Steelshaper's Apprentice - tutor's for equipment slowly
Sun Titan - gets your equipment back.

Endless Horizons - thins your deck and gives you 1 land per turn provided it doesn't get nuked.
Land Tax - combo's with scroll rack and prevents you from getting land screwed.
Marshal's Anthem - pumps your cats and gets creatures back.
True Conviction - total blow out giving all your cats double strike with a fair amount of cats out.

Equipment
Argentum Armor - expensive but its an answer to most things.
Batterskull - life gain
Darksteel Plate - indestructable
Grappling Hook - double strike is pretty awesome
Helm of Kaldra - first strike trample
Lightning Greaves - shroud
Loxodon Warhammer - life gain
Skull Clamp - card draw
Shield of Kaldra - indestructable
Swiftfoot Boots - shroud
Sword of Feast and Famine - best sword
Sword of Fire and Ice - card draw

Sword of War and Peace - kills people fast.

Instants
Enlightened Tutor - tutors for equipment
Path to Exile - gets rid of a creature
Swords to Plowshares - gets rid of a creature
Oblation - gets rid of a permanent
White Sun's Zenith - Cats!!

Other Artifacts
Mimic Vat - just good in multiplayer where lots of creatures die.
Mind's Eye - card draw
Oblivion Stone - reset button and the answer to Iona on white.
Scroll Rack - combos with Land Tax
Sensei's Divining Top - card quality
Trading Post - good with skull clamp, gets artifacts back, makes goats to hold equipment.

Planeswalkers
Ajani Caller of the Pride - giving kemba flying + double strike is awesome.
Elspeth Knight Errant - giving kemba flying +3/+3 is good + really awesome with Skullclamp. Makes soldiers to pick up equipment.

Sorceries
Austere Command - artifact, enchantment or creature kill
Divine Reckoning - kills almost all the creatures and you get to keep
kemba but your opponents each keep a creature so maybe this should be a regular wrath. It does have Flashback.
Hallowed Burial - tucks creatures
Steelshaper's Gift - gets an equipment

Lands
Ancient Tomb - mana acceleration
Buried Ruin - artifact recursion
Dust Bowl - destroys problem lands
Emeria, the Sky Ruin - creature recursion
Kor Haven - Maze but it produces mana
Scrying Sheets - card advantage with Snow Covered Plains
Springjack Pasture - makes goats to carry equipment or combos with
skull clamp to draw cards.
Stripe Mine - destroys problem lands.
Thawing Glaciers - slow but gets you land to thin your deck.
Windbrisk Heights - hide away is pretty good

Considerations
Staff of Nin - I feel I need more card draw but Staff costs alot at 6 mana and what should I cut? Thinking Ajani.
Taj-Nar Swordsmith - tutors for equipment but is kinda expensive
Wrath of God - good old wrath.

Not included
Iona - Bribery and if they name white this just shuts you down not worth the risk.

After playing this a bunch made the following changes:

-1 Felidar Sovereign
Not gaining enough life for Felidar Sovereign to matter the few times I drew it

+1 Sublime Archangel
managed to get one at a low price.

-1 Endless Horizons
This sounded good in theory but in practice it tends to get destroyed with a stack of lands under it and I am land starved and lose if someone casts Armagedon.

+1 Umezawa's Jitte
need more equipment.


-1 Dvinite Reckoning
Sounded good in theory but was bad when i need all the creatures dead killing my own Kemba was the least of my worries.

+1 Terminus
need another board wipe and this is the best one being able to cost 1 and tucking everything.

Considering cutting Ajani for Staff of Nin. Double strike is nice but he only works once and the +1/+1 counter is slightly underwelming. I feel I need more card draw.

[FTW]

Consider these cards:


Leonin Shikari
//(allows you to not tap out and overcommit... can equip Kemba at EOT or save mana for tricks)

Auriok Steelshaper
//(reduces equip costs!!)

Kor Outfitter
//(good tempo. one free equip to Kemba while giving you a body)

Auriok Windwalker
//(maybe. again, allows you to EOT equip for 0 mana, committing fewer resources to Kemba)

Steelshaper Apprentice
//another tutor

Taj-Nar Swordsmith
//another tutor

Auriok Survivors
//recursion


With all those ETB equipment-friendly effects, including Stoneforge Mystic and Duplicant such, you could also run blink effects as both protection for Kemba and extra triggers. Or something like Mimic Vat, which works great with your ETB effects and your white mass removal spells.

Good luck!

@FTW
Thank you for the suggestions.

I haven't had too much issues with equip costs other then Batterskull and Argentum armor. Deck space tight so not sure I want to run any of those other then additional tutors.

Steelshaper Apprentice I found was kinda slow abeit being repeatable every other turn.

I been considering Taj-Nar Swrodsmith but he is expensive.

Totally forgot about Mimic Vat. Mimic Vat is pretty good I have it in other EDH decks have to find Space for it but whwat to cut?

also thinking I want to find room for Staff of Nin for more card advantage.

The hard choice is always what to cut :(.
