The reason for the "weak" equipments is to have cheap equipments to drop and equip the Armament Master which usually isn't attacking anyway, it usually puts him into far too much risk. Rest for the Weary is a weak card as you say, but it's mostly a filler card which I thought of replacing anyway, probably with another Kor Creature and another Explorer's Scope which is a cheap, great early-game equipment. Using the non-basic lands you suggested might be good when going with the Behemoth Sledge, but if you skip that one there's little reason to add any non-basic lands since they usually just slow down your game, I've seriously considered skipping Sejiri Steppe for two basic Plains. Honor of the Pure is essentially an equipped Armament Master divided by two, so I don't see the "greatness" in that card and Elspeth is a great card but just too expensive for my taste. Thanks a lot for your comment, I will look into some of the tips and try them out :)
