Wow, over all the decks, i have seen, this is in my top 5. The ones above it are early turn combo decks. Although this is a great deck withought a win-condition combo. And it still prevails! Great job!

I'm missing some of the good (and not that expensive) cards and equipment's:
Cranial Plating (~1,3$ /card), Bone Saw (~0,2$ /card), Shuko (0,4$ /card), Swiftfoot Boots (0,5$ /card)
"Dispatch" (~1,3$ /card) can be a real good removal here.

boots are good, if a little slow. but they can be a great budget replacement for the swords. I also agree with dispach.

I think plating just doesn't do enough here and you cant instant speed move it and shuko and bone saw are just worse bone splitters and you only need to be running four bone splitter.

Normal equipment decks are trying to be as fast as hell, because they can be overwhelmed rather easy by big creatures or mass-decks. So the question will be 'how fast do I want to play this deck?'
A good equipment will give you +x/+y for x+y mana (play and equip). For example "Bonesplitter" gives +2/+0 for {1}+ {1}, Shuko gives +1/+0 for {1}+ {0} and "Bone Saw" gives +1/+0 for {0}+ {1}. If you rely on getting a creature equipped (preferably with something offensive) I wouldn't only play 1 good equipment but try to get some more. Personally I would remove "Avacyn's Collar" and sideboard "Basilisk Collar" to get some more aggressive equipment's in. Plating also depends on how many cheap/ fast equipment/ artifacts you got in your deck. Plating equipped on an Ornithopther can easily kill your opponent (even if it might take some time without further support)

Ah so that's your thinking. I totally agree, being fast is good but, but getting to the late game with equipment that just boosts power and doesn't blank removel means that people can often survive and stabilise. I agree cheap equipment and equipment costs are good for speed though.

This is a good start for a modern deck.

On a cheaper note if you want mana ramp your better off using knight of the white orchid rather than the scope, it will almost always ramp you if you play it turn three and the first strike makes it a great target for your equipment. :D

--------The cards I suggest below are expensive and will take time to trade into, or save money to buy.---------

As others have mentioned you would need dispatch and stoneforge. (stoneforge replacing outfitter).

After you get stone forge I would replace the steel shaper with Pure steel Paladin.

Once you have shaper and stoneforge I would go for singles of all the "sword of" series. (eg sword of feat and famine, war and peace, body and mind..ect ect..)

this gives you the ability to tutor up a sword that gives your creature protection at instant speed when you have paladin down.

You might want to consider a single or two of inkmoth nexus after getting these cards, or alternatively getting two mox opel would be a great idea!

Unfortunately, Stoneforge Mystic is banned in Modern. :(

Ah...then I guess the gift and outfitter will have to do in that slot. The rest of my suggestions stand though.

After looking around I realised the only real replacement is stonehewer giant. he is far too slow foe this deck.

Puresteel does not give you equipping at instant speed. That's what Leonin Shikari is for.

First of all, VERY solid SB choices! As far as equipment are concerned, there's no shortage of budget options, so it's really a matter of judgment/preference. I do have to say that Avacyn's Collar is tasking me, for the simple fact that it loses value in a nonhuman deck (no tokens). Another equipment you might consider that gives vigilance is Ring of Thune, which serves to continuously buff your creatures, as well. A few other budget equipment that continue to add value are Armory of Iroas (buffs creature), Banshee's Blade (buffs itself), Strata Scythe (gets stronger the more lands you have in play), & Nim Deathmantle (provides an option for getting a key creature back). But again, it's really a matter of preference, & Kor tribal is an excellent choice as a budget-build option. +1.

With a deck very similar, I can second the Puresteel Paladin notion.

It won't fit the "kor" theme but etched champion is a must in any equipment deck. Along with puresteel paladin
