The most crucial thing is:
You overdosed on shadow! It means you cannot block at all. Moreover, you run some cards that are almost useless like Spirit En-Dal (the forecast part is pointless in a deck that is shadow-dudes only) or fully useless (Temporal Isolation - otherwise a good card because it eitehr makes you guy virtually unblockable or deprives one of your opponents guys of the ability to block. However, in this deck all your guys have shadow already and if you play it on an opponents creature, you will grant him the ability to block your stuff!).
Furthermore, you don't really need vanilla shadows like the Foot Soldier and I think red is the wrong colour to splash. Guerillas are great but it's the only red card. Blue has many very good shadow guys to offer.
Finally, the mix of equipment. You cannot block, so you should emphasize on equipments that keep you alive like that Loxodon Warhammer. But something like Swords of Feast and Famine aren't that helpful here.

Soooo :

* Foot Soldier could go. It's only useful in a very fast aggressive deck that wants an unblockable in turn one followed up with pump spells on turn two. The only nice thing about him is that, as a one-drop, it smoothes out your mana curve. But you are probably better off having some utility in that slot like Path to Exile.

* Spirit En-Dal is, as I said, almost pointless. If you consider to also ditch the Guerillas and splash blue instead, have a look at Looter il-Kor which will help you finding the right cards and the excellent Thalakos Seer. However, it will stop being a Soltari deck, I don' know how important that is.

* Temporal Isolation is completely useless, so you have 3 open slots now. Could be used for many things of course, here some suggestions:
- Things to fetch the right equipment: Quest for the Holy Relic or Steelshaper's Gift
- Flexible utility: Collective Effort, Austere Command, Righteous Confluence
- Card draw: Inheritance (as a one-drop, this could also replace the Foot Soldier!)
- Cards to recover from a disaster: Frantic Salvage, Marshal's Anthem
- Cards that are important in your meta

* I consider the following equipments suboptimal for this deck: Moonsilver Spear (that First Strike is useless), Sword of Feast and Famine (both abilities don't help you survive), Sword of Body and Mind (milling is useless at best and dangerous at worst). Possible replacements:
- More Warhammers (unless you got equipment fetchers in the step before)
- Swiftfoot Boots (haste and protection. Note that it grants hexproof, now shroud, so you can still keep on attaching equipments)
- Bloodforged Battle-Axe (from Commander 2017, check it out, it's disgusting)

Phyrexia is defunct for many years now. You can still read but you can't login and therefore not post. Unfortunately, search also doesn't work, so finding something worthwhile to read is a pain in the metal ass.

I have very limited time now because of a occupational re-training (and because I am father of a little boy now), but I will have a look at your stuff and comment bit by bit.
You full nick was Nathan, right?

I was also considering Angel's Trumpet.

You are from Phyrexia? Didn't know we are more than 2, though, I only know of WickedDarkman, who else is here?

Really? I always thought its an abandoned mechanic they wanted to get rid of.

Hey, I grew up with Mox Monkeys, Orim's Prayer, Inheritance and Karmic Justice :)
No, what I meant is that I search for utility cards that somehow fit the theme (either thematically in flavour like Sunhome or mechanic wise, something about players not wanting or being forced to block). But Inheritance is close enough and I guess it will put a smile on the faces of my buddies, they haven't seen one for a decade now :)
Thx, mate.

Yeah, Hunt is cheaper, but my creature count is kindof low, so I prefer Fumiko mainly because it's also a warm body. Yes, this also means it's easier to remove, but remember: Multiplayer politics. I shouldn't be too annoying. Ghostly Possession? Nah, I would use the excellent Unquestioned Authority instead.

Hey, thanks for all the input!

I thought about Deftblade Elite, however, it's ability only protects it from combt damage. So he would survive the hit but still die from Fight to the Death ... that's why I consider Grappling Hook as the only equipment for this deck (it basically grants provoke).

Yeah, ok, I'll add a Boros Charm to the sideboard/wishlist thingy. Still have to figure what to cut for the final version.

HEAT STROKE! Why didn't I remember this old chap? Well, in this case there is no bluffing game, it just is always on, and while that would be ideal in 1-on-1, it may be inferior in multiplayer in some situations. However, this is a must-include. Damn, I need deckspace ... will probably cut poor Skin Invasion :P

And you are right about Sun Home, when I was considering it, I only thought "meh, I will mostly likely only attack with power 1 dorks, so double strike doesn't do much", but the "Fortress of the Legion" part means it should be there! I also didn't consider that doublestrike can be used defensively. You always think about doing twice as much damage but it also means half of it is now dealt as first strike damage. The guardian for example might now block and survive single attackers.

I do like the Goblin Assault for the haste part and don't forget that it forces ALL gobos to attack, including my enemies, which fits the theme.

Teferi's Protection is no option here. First, if tokens phase out, they killed. Second, it's way too expensive (money wise) to purcahse it for a goofy deck like this.

I run Fumiko and Disrupt Decorum for the reasons you stated (you just can't see Disrupt Decorum because it hasn't been added yet to the Vault database).

Hm, yes, I could do that. A Quietus Spike is even in the mail. However, I already have a red/white equipment deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/puschkin/decks/rendered-dead/ )and wanted to do without this time. I might add Grappling Hook, which I got a foiled one that I never used, though ...

The instants you mentioned are fine and work well with Sunforger but the more instants I run, the less reliable Surreal Memoir will be. Boros Charm is great and fits in well, but what to cut? the utility it provides is more or less what the deck does anyway.

Forgot about the Hundred-Handed One. And while we are at it, I also happen to own a Two-Headed Giant (yes, the Unlimited card that one multiplayer format was named after) which I should play in here :)

If anybody is still reading this:
New deck is up, could need last minute polish before I go shopping for missing cards :)

Anon: I was focussing on the main combo as written in the deck description

It gives the Intruder trample. What is a 11/12 or 21/22 worth if the the opponent can block it with a 1/1? Especially when it's only that big temporarily.

Apparatus is removal as well!? I mean, it does the same as Shock, albeit more expensive, but as an artifact, it syngergizes with Implements and Atog.

Mycoloth instead of Savage Thallid!
And I don't think you really need those Scatter the Seeds. I would run SPidersilk Armor instead because you don't have any flyers (or Tower Defense).

Atog is a gremlin now!?

Okay, so why is there no zero-cost artifact so you could go infinite? I mean, yeah, the opponnet will just pay 3 life to end this, but at least, this way, he is FORCED to pay life! There aren't many options in Standard but I would run Cathar's Shield over Stitcher's Graft because it protects your Atog instead of killing it. On the other hand, you have the feeling that you are missing something and that's flyers, so you might use Ornithopter. Yes, ist's not a gremlin, but I see Ornithopter more like a vehicle.

Another thing you are missing is a way to give the Intruder that all-important trample. Haunted Cloak?

And what's Magnifying Glass for?

Explosive Apparatus instead of of Shock!

Verdant Automaton is very clumsy as a kill card, it can be stopped my creature removal as well as a single 1/1 chump blocker (and it has summoning sickness) ... Why don't you run a Karvek's Torch or something similar to finish? Yes, it needs red mana, but I would run Mana Morphose in this anyway.

That would be super strong if that was the correct wording, unfortunately it can only target creatures ... still worth a consideration, though. Wait, I am running white, I could run Reknit! See, that's why I like brainstorming sessions, I would have forgotten about Reknit :)

Akroan Horse, haha, yes that would work, especially with that Thunderstaff. (it also provides me with chump blockers). I need more like that! :)
About Seedbborn Muse, I only have a single Candelabra and not much else to untap since most cards working well tend to be instants and sorceries. The double-green is also a problem. Any potential green or red card should be splashable (only one coloured mana).

BTW:
1 copy = I am considering this card
4 copies = It's in there fore sure

But in the case of Candelabra and Maze, 1 is all I got.
