How Godo decks play in EDH

Godo, Bandit Warlord is a mono-red commander costing 5R, and its legendary creature - human barbarian line shapes the whole deck around it. It wants to be suited up, so cheap protection and equipment that grants evasion take priority over expensive gear. It tutors, which makes a small number of high-impact targets more valuable than a broad toolbox. The cards below are the ones Godo, Bandit Warlord decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
