I flavoured Mana Acceleration as Unearthly Stealth, because you can cast her before one would expect, gaining the element of surprise. Shut up -_-
So yeah, this is Livonya Silone voltron EDH. It is geared towards multiplayer even though it relies on the general to do damage. The main idea is to set up for the general to do any of the following:
(A) Start swinging early, before everyone is set up.
(B) Become a total monster with equipment and pumping
(C) 'Cheat' pumping quickly with low equip costs, ETB pump, etc.
Also, there's the hidden (D), which is to recover quickly from being killed and swing out again the next turn! There's a lot of focus on giving haste, and enhancing Livonya without paying mana.
This deck is going to be made on Cockatrice to play at school, as I don't own many of these cards. I'll update this as I find what works and what doesn't.
Notes:
Grafted Exoskeleton is a cheap way to speed up the clock, and is perfect with the First Striking general.
The many legendary lands combine with Gauntlets of Chaos to donate 'walkable' lands to the opponent. (Thanks Magnus Magicus!)
Some equipment and cards may seem sub-optimal, but most are geared towards boosting swing speed and power right of the bat, ex: Graft cards, Grafted Wargear, Ronin Warclub, etc.
Most equipment can go on a utility creature in a pinch, works well with Grafted Exoskeleton
I forgot about the Kaldra cards, and Asceticism. Thanks for that! I took out some of the weaker/clunky equipment for them (including Asceticism. I wanted to keep the troll for boosting the general and being another body to throw equipment on.)
20 Equips is insane man. Do you ever find yourself with more equips than you care to actually equip? You could cut 5 to 10 of the marginal ones and just add Godo, Bandit Warlord to tutor for the one you want. Also, many of the Kamigawa equips you have are outclassed by the pro swords. I'll leave it to you to decide how much you like Mage Slayer when you could be shocking guys and drawing cards instead
Edit: Also, Deathrender if you like cheating in guys and Nim Deathmantle if you like keeping them after wraths.
Anyway, you've got most of your bases covered and a Commander that gets MAD style points from me at least. Very nice.

That is genius! I'm so doing this
This is also good! First strike deathtouch is itself frightening.
For both of these, I'll try to find some room for cuts, at school later today.
