Living Weapon

In the new set, Mirrodin Besieged, the living weapon mechanic is very interesting to me and i want to find a way to build a deck around it. Here is what I have so far: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=144422
With the living weapon, there are two ways u can go, use the equipment part of it or use the token part of it. I want to hear some feedback from you guys so please reply! :D:D

umm I hate to be a pessimist here... but I dont fully understand your use of Living Weapon in these decks at all... You could replace the Living Weapon equipments with really any other kind of Equipments and they would generally have the same feel... I feel that Living Weapon isn't something you just kinda throw in a deck that benefits from Equipment... You have to utilize the fact that you're getting free little creatures that can be useful if you make them so... Just my opinion though... :/

I like the Abyssal Gatekeeper - Bonehoard synergy. Your doubling season plan is pretty weak though.

I wish there was something other than Badmoon to use as a solid way to keep those damn germs around. If they were just 0/1's this whole design would be so much simpler....

I'm sure there are more ways, besides, they do stick around on their own just fine don't they? Besides auto dying creatures aren't a bad thing, there's more then just grave pact abusing such tactics.

I'm curious about your inclusion of Doubling Season. You don't have much token regeneration to make use of it besides Myr Sire and Tukatongue Thalid, and they're weak generators at that.

If you intend to use it for 0/0 germ tokens that die instantly, in conjunction with Grave Pact, that will not work. Whenever a token would leave the battlefield, it is immediately exiled. The token would never hit the graveyard, and therefore never trigger Grave Pact.

Also Parapet, Lumithread Field, Leyline of Vitality, Angelic Shield, Spidersilk Armor. Each of which grant +0/+1. Still, way too much crap to try and build a deck around.

that's incorrect, tokens go to the graveyard like any other creature would.

they stop existing after hitting the graveyard so they still trigger any 'enter the graveyard' effects

Add white for stoneforge mystic. You get any living weapon for :mana1::manaw:. It's worth it.
