A quick draft for Khemba using some of the spoilers from Scars - including prototype portal, which gets *really* mean when coupled with some of the cheap equips you have available. Lots of tutors and creatures - swarm with your heavily-equiped creatures and let khemba spam kitties.
You enchantments will allow them to grow into mini-titans of meowing doom.

What do you think about Quest for the Holy Relic? I think the potential Tutor could be useful - but i'm unsure.
Not sure if it's necessary, since you need to cast 5 guys... and like all quests, it's a horrible late-game topdeck. You can go with better.
Perhaps sub in Temple Bell to give White some Card draw (Personal perference... it's your call, really.)
Edit: Miraculous Recovery is always a welcome addition in any White EDH. Reveillark seems great for your cause, too.
I'll be making my own Khemba deck, but as a more voltron style.
I think you run too much dud equipment. Just only run the good ones, people don't run enough artifact hate as it is, so just run the best and recursion to get back the ones you want. Cut it down by at least five equipment, I can't imagine the general surviving or you want to equip too many on her.
I appreciate the need to have a lot of plains, but maybe cut the artifact land for Emeria and add Expedition Map to find it. There are a lot of creatures you want back. Thawing Glaciers may also be an option, I like it for filtering mono-colour decks personally.
Cut Sisay's Ring too. It has been way outclassed. Even Everflowing Chalice is strictly better since it does same thing and has options, although Worn Powerstone does same thing.
I also play Weiss Schwarz, Chaos, Vanguard and Wixoss.
Weiss Schwarz Sets
Accel World, Angel Beats, Familiar of Zero, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Guilty Crown, Kill La Kill, Robotics;Notes, Sword Art Online.
Chaos Partners
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Iona, Kirishima, Kongou.
Dangan Ronpa: Asahina, Togami.
Freezing: Vibration: Chiffon, Satelizer.
Vanguard Clans Favoured
Angel Feather, Dark Irregulars, Genesis, Neonecter, Pale Moon, Shadow Paladins, Tachikaze.
I like Hour of Reckoning a lot better than Mass Calcify. Too many good creatures are white. Not to mention all those kitties make it so much easier to cast.
What, no Argentum Armor? This thing is retarded. Armor + Kemba + attack = awesome. I myself run Skullclamp and Nim Deathmantle. Perhaps they could find a way into your deck?
Some other cards to consider:
Mystifying Maze/Maze of Ith
Strip Mine
Mistveil Plains
Eight-an-a-Half-Tails
Mirror Entity-really fun with lots of kitties
Eternal Dragon-should go in most every Mono-W deck IMO
Aura of Silence
True Conviction
Empyrial Plate
Predator, Flagship

Now Playing:
Standard
RogueDeckWins (mono-B aggro)
AngelDusk G/W/U control)
Land of Confusion (B/R/u Blightning Beatdown
Shore/Bind (G/U aggro w/ mistbind clique)
Casual
Hostile Takeover (U/B Tutor)
Stompy (Mono-G super aggro)
I came up with this list the minute I saw Kemba spoiled. I've had to make some very slight changes to include some new Scars cards, but this is still the initial list. It's (obviously) very equipment based with lots of buffs and a little token production. It runs pretty aggresively, but is also effective in multiplayer games due to the token production.
Indomitable Archangel is amazing in this deck and Akroma's Memorial is an absolute must. There's very little a Kemba deck can do to deal with evasive generals. Spot removal/sweepers and Argentum Armor are your only real options. Most of the Flying equipment is terrible (Bladed Pinions might be playable).
This list could definitely use some more sweepers (Austere Command) and I'm undecided whether or not I want my Empyrial Plate in here without any reliable card draw. I should fit Marshal's Anthem in there (probably in the Leyline of the Meek slot). Spirit of the Hearth could easily be Leyline of Sanctity, but the beefy flying body is a little better and I needed the Leyline for another deck.
I'm thinking about writing up a Primer for Kemba, would anyone be interested in that sort of thing? It could address each choice of Equipment, various pumps, token sub-themes, etc.
Needs moar Worldslayer. I'm just about finished mine, I'll post a DL soon. Worldslayer in this deck is just pure fun. Oh, and Quest for the Holy Relic is a natural fit.

I disagree about Quest. It's just really unreliable without including a critical mass of unnecessary creatures. The card completely forces you to overextend which is not good in really any deck, but especially not a deck like this. Also, not a terribly huge fan of Worldslayer. Maybe if you had Eldrazi Monument and some fashion of consistently getting it in play (and then keeping it in play), but it just seems too expensive when you could be running Austere Command and too counter productive when you want to be keeping your permanents for as long as possible.
I did pick up a Spirit Mirror for this deck. I actually really like it, it always ensures that after Wraths or whatever, you have a dude that can pick up equipment. Today I used it to kill a Mutavault that someone activated without reading the card. Oh, and Worldslayer isn't on the banned list that I can see. I am playing Elspeth Tirel in the deck and it's pretty nifty. I'm almost never unhappy to see her in my hand.

Worldslayer isn't banned, are you thinking of Worldgorger Dragon? But for a deck that is built around board presence, it seems kind of counterproductive, and also very likely to make a target out of you.
It might just be because I love the card in general, but I'd really want to put True Conviction in this deck. It's pretty great with any amount of creatures, and Equipment makes things even more ridiculous. Also, you're not running Sol Ring! Isn't this EDH blasphemy?
Spellbinder is a nifty idea, but this version doesnt run as many instants as i think it'd be useful for... but yeah, that's a great thought.
I probably was thinking of the dragon. I see "world" and stop there.
True Conviction is nuts. You'll never lose to another aggro deck once it lands.
And, sol ring... ...i completely forgot why i didnt include it, it was awhile ago, sheesh. I'll add it now.
Spirit mirror is an interesting idea. There is a reaper king player here who enjoys using shapeshifters, that could be a killspell for them, provided the king doesnt land first...
Elspeth also never struck me as a useful planeswalker. Sure, you can gain massive amounts of life, but what for? Also, using her ultimate will end up backfiring on you, and the - just seems pointless if you're making so many tokens anyways....
If you do run artifact wipes... Roar of Reclamation might be a nice addition.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
seeing alot of Kemba decks starting to pop up and I would love to make my own, but I was wondering why no one has suggested trying to work the "Cleric" angle.
Clerics have a lot of synergy and could make for a fun deck. battletide alchmist for instance?
There are a LOT better Legendary Clerics you could be playing.....*coughAtalya, Samite Mastercough* for your cleric idea, Houzu.
Good idea for Kemba, is DEFINATELY some creatures. You will think that the amount of cats you produce will be enough, but you will see SOO much hate on your general, your better off just equipping awesome, non-killable creatures with the equipment while you wait for Lightning Greaves or Wispersilk Cloak.....something like Jareth, or Etched Champion would be awesome! or even the one guy that has protection from Mono Color would be really good, depending on the decks in your area.

Stonehewer Giant seems really freaking good for this legendary creature.
You might more mass removal Rout, Catastrophe (which can win you the game by blowing up lands), and Mass Calcify
Enlightened Tutor, you'll want this
A couple more mass wipes (particularly lands) wouldnt hurt, true.

Armed Response seems underwhelming since you may only get atleast 4 equips out on average, and completely useless when someone nukes the field.
Shared Triumph?

Though he's a bit expensive, Raksha Golden Cub is pretty bangin' in a deck full of cats and equipment.
Looks like a fun deck!
Raksha is pretty amazing, i have to agree. Makes all the kittens you'll get big, angry lions.

I see few answers to Eldrazi, so maybe you could consider Duplicant, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Final Judgement and Archon of Justice.
