Which swords and which equipment would you suggest?
I think the {sword of war and peace} or / and the {sword of fire and ice} because of the protection from W, R and U...

JoeHall

{Whispersilk Cloak}? {Tricks of the Trade} maybe? It seems like Giest is kind of a "Volton" kind of Commander: enchant/equip the crap out of him and hope he gets through.

Gorzo

I highly recommend {sovereigns of lost alara} and {eldrazi conscription}. {indestructibility} is nice too to save it from board wipes (though not as good as steel of the godhead). {luxodon warhammer} once you make Geist unblockable or too tough to be killed by blockers and you should be good to go.

Don't forget that protection from a color means you can't enchant him with that color, so choose your sword colors and enchant colors wisely. If you have a lot of white spells to cast on Geist, {sword of War and Peace} will stop you from using them. Same with {Sword of Mind and body} and Blue. You're safe to equip {sword of feast and famine} for pro-{B}/{G} either way though.

Assuming you want to use auras in the first place, that is.

Dudecore

{Spirit Mantle} and every piece of equipment you can get your hands on.

{sundial of the infinite} might be cool as it would let you keep your tokens i think...i don't know for sure though.

You activate the sundial in response to the delayed trigger activating. For istance
You swing with geist and angel
Combat ends, angel's exile trigger goes off
You end the turn in response

The angel sticks around and the delayed trigger won't activate anymore

Correct. You lose your 2nd main phase though. If that matters to you.

I'm aware that this won't help you right now, but I think that looking at white Selesnya cards with populate coming out next month mightbe beneficial to Traft's angel

Sure I will; was also thinking at the righteous authority coming out next week.

Phat Max

Why all the suggestions for the voltron strategy? I always found that to be the lazy way to make a good EDH deck... Although I almost always have {Darksteel Plate} :P

I like the idea of abusing the Angel tokens Geist makes.

Wally

Use {puresteel paladin} if you go the lots of equipment route.
However you go, make sure you have a {silverblade paladin} in there to make the angel double strike when he attacks :)
