Very unfortunately, this sortof doesn't work ideally with most of the Equipments in the set, specifically the cycle of legendary Amulets.
It's a bit of an anticombo, enough that if I were designing or editing these cards, I'd change them somehow, or push this off to a different set. I don't want to push this off to another set though, because is one of the few gold colour-pairs that isn't over-stuffed with candidates. Do I keep this as it is?
I'd say go ahead and edit the amulets so they grant the discounting to the thing they are equipped to.
So you're suggesting replacing
> As long as Amulet of Kindness is attached, white spells you cast cost less to cast.
with
> Equipped creature has "White spells you cast cost less to cast."
Hmm. It is actually fewer words. (Though it's probably a little more confusing.) It's tempting. I really don't want to gratuitously make functional edits to these cards though, as the idea was to build a set out of Fan's card designs, not to have something 'inspired by' Fan's cards.
Well it's not usually a functional change; just a templating fix that happens to interact nicely with this build-around.
(Though a build-around without much support at common)
There are five common noncreature artifacts, which this will happily turn into 4/4s. And it works on your basic lands too. It's more of a generally reasonable pick that has bonus synergy if you get one of the equipment.
Depending on how much I want to support the rest of the Equipment theme (for Faerie Bootmother, Reserve Rack, Diamond-Gang Haulers and Glamorize) I might add back in a bunch of common and uncommon Equipment I pre-emptively cut. Golden Hammer even works with Piecake Eating. ("Equipped creature gets +3/+0." and "Whenever equipped creature deals damage to a creature, create a Treasure token.")
It's sort of hard to call "Put some land into your deck" a build-around; even if technically it is.
Oh, ugh. This is actually a sneaky removal spell, isn't it.
Is it? It lets you use your creature kill spells on some super-powerful artifact, I guess?
FanOfMostEverything said to go ahead and tweak the Amulets' wordings, so I'm doing that.
