Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white Equipment aggressive strategy led by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest. Ekthi grants every Equipment living weapon while giving all Phyrexian creatures +1/+1. Because the 0/0 Germ tokens enter as 1/1 Phyrexians, every Equipment spell doubles as an on-curve creature spell with its Equipment automatically attached. This completely bypasses expensive equip costs on cards like Colossus Hammer, Argentum Armor, and Excalibur, Sword of Eden. The deck rapidly builds a wide and tall board of equipped Phyrexian Germs, converting cheap artifacts into massive combat threats. Card advantage is maintained through Skullclamp, Puresteel Paladin, and Sram, Senior Edificer, while tutors like Stoneforge Mystic and Steelshaper's Gift ensure quick access to key weapons. Defensive spells like Clever Concealment and Flawless Maneuver protect the board, leading to a decisive finish with Akroma's Will or Coat of Arms around turn 7.
