And Men Say He Shall Come Again

Commander / EDH* Knights Theme/Gimmick

TrumpetsforKings


Maybeboard


This deck is based upon the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas Malory, and is attempting to tell the story of King Arthur in the format of an EDH deck.

This deck is a work in progress, and I would love suggestions for upgrades (either other important characters, or cards that better suit a certain idea).

To be short, this is a Kenrith, the Returned King Deck with no budget attempting to tell the story of the Knights of the Round Table. It will mostly be knight-ish tribal, but that is purely for flavor reasons.

If you have questions about who/what any of the characters, places, objects, or events are, feel free to ask and I'll answer, as that will help you help me!
