EDH - Only Swords (Rograkh // Ardenn) (EDH / Commander)

Here are some limits and ideas I had for the deck:

1. It is a sword-theme deck, as I had almost all swords available. Therefore, every card (except for lands) must fulfil one of the following criteria:
   • “Sword” in the card name
   • Any kind of “sword” in the illustration, but no axes, spears, bows, etc.
   • The word “sword” in the text box
   • Cards from the Mirrodin expansion, as the symbol is The Sword of Kaldra (but only, if no similar card with the limitations is available)
2. Alternative illustrations of a card which show a sword are allowed, e.g. Path to Exile(PF20)
3. If a MDF card is used, only one side must fulfil the criteria
4. The deck is more about fun and does not really rely on infinite combos (yet?). I know that throwing all swords into one deck might not be best use for each one of them.
5. The deck should still be somewhat playable and have a certain amount of ramp, card draw and synergies.
6. Budget is not really an issue, but I’m not at a point where I run a $100 or more card in my deck. Somewhere around $50-80 I might consider buying it.

The winning strategy, as for most of equipment decks, I think, is to have small/low CMC creatures which can be equipped and hit my opponents for a ton of damage.

Disclaimers

• I know, Karakas isn’t legal in EDH, but it’s fine within my playgroup.
• Also Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist does not fulfil the criteria, but I make this exception.
• I’m aware that with Sword of Fire and Ice or Sword of Hearth and Home I limit myself running red/white equipments/auras.
