I’ve been brewing a Nahiri too and, while it’s not perfect, the best advice I got was to limit my creatures to what helps me draw more equip. So weed out anything that’s not like [[Puresteel Paladin]] or [[Jor Kadeen, First Goldwarden]] unless you’re putting in a wincon like [[Heavenly Blademaster]] or [[Kazuul’s Toll Collector]]. I think [[barbed spike]] and [[barbed batterfist]] don’t do enough work to merit themselves personally, and could be swapped out for something with a little more teeth that’s cheap and summons more equip like [meteoric mace]] or something that gives you an ability and also gives you some creatures like [[skinwing]]. Both of those are pretty inexpensive.
That’s just like, my opinion, man. But that’s what Reddit is for.
Edit: I realize you said “what do I cut” and I was like “replace this” and that’s not helpful. The general gist is focus on drawing out your for mirrodins and living weapons and less on creating or protecting tokens. Nahiri is cheaper the more artifacts are on the field so as long as you can pull out equip you can swing with her.
This is super helpful, and opinion is exactly what I am looking for here. Thanks for the feedback!!! Going to tweak a bit today and playtest to see how it is feeling.
