Hello happiest of folks and happiest of days today! I was reviewing the Final Fantasy spoilers and saw someone in Mono-Red that I adore for leading a nasty little Equipment brew. Here it is:

This 6-drop Mono-Red 6/6 Human Samurai has an Enters or attack trigger to dig six cards into your library and then drop all Equipment you found for free and then equip him or another Samurai. I think he's neat, and I'm sure you will too, but he hasn't appeared on EDHREC.com as of the writing of this article.

Ready?

Mana, Ramp, Rocks and Lands

Now let's turn to this trio. The 2-drop 3/1 can tap for Red mana, and can sac for three mana to shoot a dork for six damage. Then the 1-drop 1/1 dork has flying on your turn and then also taps for but can only be used for equipment - easily done here. Then the 4-drop planeswalker with four loyalty can +2 to put a basic Mountain into our hand and then -3 to shoot a dork equal to your mountain count.

Now, let's turn to this trio of cheap Equipment that gives us treasure when the equipped creature down damage to a player! Beamtown Beatstick costs one, equips for two, gives evasion in menace and then pumps its power by one. Goldvein Pick costs two, equips for one, and then gives a +1/+1 buff but no evasion. Diamond Pick-Axe costs one and is indestructible and then equips for two, and then also gives a +1/+1 buff.

Mind Stone taps for colorless or you can spend one to sac it and draw a card. I also tossed in Commander's Sphere since we can bring these back and keep getting cards. Sword of the Animist pumps a creature by +1/+1 and equips for and then when it swings you get to ramp a basic tapped. World Map can tap and sac for one to Lay of the Land a basic to your hand, or it can get any land instead for three mana. Love that last one a lot!

Now let's finish with artifact caring lands. This legendary one arrives untapped, taps for colorless you'll gain a life in your upkeep and can spend four to sac it and Tutor an Artifact into your hand!!! Nasty here but only if you have metalcraft. Then the colorless tapping uncommon can tap with two to sac and then Raise Dead your best artifact to your hand - brilliant here! If you've got the World Map, get it back!

Good Equipment and Stuff

Now let's turn to some more fun Equipment! Two-Handed Axe is a Voltron classic. The instant half will give your Voltron creature double strike! The Equipment half turns doubles the power of the equipped creature when it attacks. If you combine both you can easily kill a player with regular or Commander damage. Hammer of Nazahn gives +2 power and indestructible, and lets you equip any equipment for free when it enters!

Buster Sword equips for two and then gives a +3/+2 boost and then when it smashes face, draw and then cast a free spell equal to or less than the damage dealt. Lizard Blades has reconfigure 2 and gives double strike, so it's great early or later.

Let's finish with this trio! Tenza, Godo's Maul equips for one, gives +1/+1 or +3/+3 if the creature is legendary, and trample if the creature is Red. Embercleave has a cost reduction based on the number of attacking creatures you control and equips on arrival. It gives double strike, trample and +1/+1 size, all at instant speed! Bloodforged Battle-Axe gives +2 power and then if the equipped creature deals combat damage it creates a copy of itself. It costs one to drop and then equips for two. Great mana sink, too!

Synergies and Winning Conditions

Now let's turn to synergies and win conditions, like this pair! Yuffie, Materia Hunter has Ninjutu and then when she arrives, you'll steal an opposing artifact and get a free equip on her. Stealing another equipment and then a free equip on her is great, and everyone runs Swiftfoot Boots or Skullclamp and such even outside of Equipment brews, and then grabbing their One Ring or Sol Ring is great too and then getting a free equip. Brotherhood Regalia is next. It cannot be blocked, has ward 2 and then is an Assassin too. I also tossed in Trailblazer's Boots but not Whispersilk Cloak to get it through but not stop equipping. Raubahn, Bull of Ala Mhigo costs two for a 2/2 Bear size legendary with ward equal to its power and then when it swings you can get a free equip!

Now let's turn to this win-con two-cost Equipment duo. Thran Power Suit gives a power boost equal to your Auras and Equipment. Blackblade Reforged equips your leader for three or other legendaries too, and then non-legendary creatures for seven mana and gives a size boost equal to your land count.

Commander's Plate equips your Commander for three or others for five and will give them +3/+3 size and then protection from every color your Commander isn't! That's nasty for protection and then getting through hits. Excalibur, Sword of Eden can only attach to legendary creatures and gives a huge +10/+10 size and vigilance. I also tossed in win-con Colossus Hammer.

Now let's turn back to synergies. Goblin Welder taps for no mana to sac an artifact and then recur one to the battlefield from your graveyard. He's beloved! Sac a Treasure for a World Map or an artifact for the best Equipment in your graveyard that was killed. It's also brilliant with our discard to draw stuff too. Daretti, Scrap Savant can +2 to discard up to two and then draw that many, so if you only want to discard one you can. Or you can -2 him to get a tapped Goblin Welder. Nice pair here.

Aggravated Assault can untap your stuff and then get in another attack, like a Relentless Assault, which is great here. Then Sword of Feast and Famine gives +2/+2 and then gives it pro Black and Green, then has a great combat damage trigger to make them discard and then untap your lands. Just use them to use the Assault over and over again for infinite attacks!

Let's finish with Full Throttle and Godo, Bandit Warlord. The sorcery gives you two Relentless Assaults this turn! Then you can drop legendary Godo to Tutor for an Equipment to get dropped to the battlefield for free. Then when it swings, you can untap your Samurai and then it and then get in another attack! Great with a Samurai Commander, right? And a free Equipment is great too.

Answers

Now let's turn to answers! Mithril Coat will equip when it arrives for free if it's a legendary then they both have indestructible. Silver Shroud Costume equips for three and then equip when it arrives and then gives it shroud for the turn and then it cannot be blocked forever!!

Now let's turn to targeted removal like Chaos Warp, Abrade, and Untimely Malfunction. Abrade will Lightning Bolt a dork, and I also tossed in Lightning Bolt too. Then the latter can Redirect a spell or ability that comes your way or card draw spell to you, or stop something from blocking your attack.

Now let's turn to this five-cost sorcery duo! Waltz of Rage shoots all other dorks equal to the power of your dork. Then when that's dealt you can exile and then cast the top card of your library for each of your creatures that died this turn, until next turn! That's brilliant with your Treasures and mana rocks and such. Chandra's Ignition will also shoot all other dorks, but foes too so it's a bit of a win-con, but no card flow there.

Now let's finish with these two overload mass sweepers. Mizzium Mortars will shoot all opposing creatures for four and then Vandalblast will destroy all of their artifacts. Nasty duo.

Card Draw

Now let's finish with Card Flow! Big Score discards one, draws two and then makes two Treasures, I also tossed in the other three Treasure makers. Then the two-cost one above will discard one to draw two or sac an artifact instead from Treasures to fuel for Goblin Welder above.

Let's finish with this two-set Equipment duo that turns combat damage into a card drawn - see also Mask of Memory. The uncommon 2-cost two equip just does that, but the three mana one with two equip too double pumps it, gives it two protections in Red and Blue to protect and get it hits and also Shocks for removal too. I also tossed in things like Faithless Looting.

Now let's turn to my brew!!!

There we go! Enjoy this brew all up and down the coast! You'll see Treasure Vault there to grab with the World Map or Artifact tutors and then bring back with the Welder. I am not running Urza's Saga since it's pricey, but you may want to. Have an amazingly awesome day and week!
