This is undoubtably going to be a hard 'fix'. It's the best rated equip deck I've seen in a while, actually. I'll start by mentioning the ratio; only 35% mons. I won't directly fix this but more so pay attention to it as I change the deck.

First of all, even if Taunts thinks it may be a bad idea or not, Magic Drains are better than Magic Jammers. They just are; card advantage is vital. I'll shift up this focus a little and keep to the awesome attnetion paid to negation:

-2 Magic Jammer
+2 Magic Drain
I'll keep a magic jammer for the sheer reliability however.

There's a few point I'd like to make about this deck before I continue; some will be wondering why Magic Cylinder, Rush Recklessly or other seemingly staples in this deck are not included. The fact of the matter is that they both rely on you having low ATK power; which is uncommon in this deck.

I do feel, however, that a RR will benifet the deck a lot more than an AoD:

-1 Axe Of Despair
+1 Rush Recklessly

If you didn't know, the advantage over AoD is that it's quick-play. If your opponent attacks, spring this and that 700 ATK can make a massive difference, destroying their monster and their combo.

Since we're low on tributes and high on ATK power, I feel that CoH is slightly less useful in this deck. The graverobber I like and I feel it should stay. The heavy storm... I'm very close to keeping this guy but with the equip style he should go; too situational. Also, the seven tools kind of work against Jinzo; I think 3 may be too many. Working to get Jinzo out may be more beneficial.

-1 Change of Heart
-1 Seven Tools of the Bandit
-1 Heavy Storm

To fill this gap I'm chucking in WOtBF; she can search any monster in the entire deck, which is, of course, a plus. Cyber Jar and Morphing Jar help the unreliability of the equip combos by rocketing the deck's speed upwards. With the amount of traps and field control a Magician of Faith couldn't hurt either.

+1 Witch of the Black Forest
+1 Cyber Jar
+1 Morphing Jar
+1 Magician of Faith

I was trying to think of something attibute-specific to add, but nothing jumps to mind, due to the variety here. I'll finally take out the most situational card here (Apart from 4-starred, who is too lovable and annoyed to your opponent):

-1 Dark Hole

That leaves us at:
