Equipment/Artifact

Hello, everybody! I just made an equipment deck and would like your opinions to tweak and improve my deck or you can thank me for posting this deck if it inspired you to make one. :D

I also run equipment but i find that you need to be more focused than what you have done. mine is pure :manaw: and the major cards are 4 Puresteal, 4 Kemba and 4 Strata Scythe. i also have a few other creatures such as Ardent Recruit and Auruk Sunchaser but most of the rest are equipment, although I've only played casually with it, it wins about 90% of the time. This is mostly due to awesome combos such as Puresteal/Accorder's Shield and Kemba/Whispersilk Cloak/strata scythe. Also most of my equipment has low cmc and high equip cost to be compatible with Puresteal and Brass Squire.

so my advice to you is:

Remove Stoic Rebuttal, Memnite, at least some Signal Pests, at least some Blade Splicers, Unwinding Clock and Flayer Husk.

add a Tempered Steel, 2 Puresteel Paladins, some Kitesail/Bladed Pinions/Cobbled Wings, Accorder's Shield, 4 Kemba, Kha Regent, whatever other equipment you feel necessary and for gods sake DONT ADD IN RAZOR BOOMERANG!!! like the last equipment deck i saw.:eek:

Add Seachrome Coast, Inkmoth Nexus x3, and drop 1 Blade Splicer, add another Paladin, drop Unwinding Clock and add another SFAF. The rest seems fine.
Now, honestly, I wouldn't play Blade Splicer at all. I would run Glint Hawk and/or Glint Hawk Idol to make play smoother. Golem is nice, but the Splicer is easy prey, so you lose the first strike ability often. Or I would run at least 2 Hero of Bladehold and 2 Mirran Crusader. Great back up creatures for a TS deck.

I don't know what you are going for with this deck. It isn't an Equipment deck at all. More like an Artifact deck with some Equipment in it. Pick one or the other before I help you, because the support needed for a Metalcraft deck is totally different from the support needed for an Equipment deck. Even though Puresteel Paladin also has Metalcraft, it should not go into any old Artifact deck. It's a card you have to build around.
