Decided to try an attempt at a Mardu Colored Knight deck for once rotation happens. Tell me you’re ideas for edits.

Essentially this is tricolor aggro with some burn, removal, and some slight hand disruption. Use Corpse Knight and Stormfist Crusader to cause Spectacle to trigger for Drill Bit . Both also help keep pace of the deck, one by drawing you an extra card every turn as well as some chip damage. The other by using the creature heaviness to cause further life loss. Fervent Champion Venerable Knight and Knight of the Ebon Legion are all one drops in their respective colors to help keep the pace to your advantage in a different way. Fervent Champion having both First Strike and Haste is a duh for any red deck, even without equipment, also his pseudo Battle Cry effect helps get more damage in. Venerable Knight is a 2/1 that when dies permapumps another guy. Knight of the Ebon Legion is fairly hearty as a 1/2 and has multiple self pump abilities. Inspiring Veteran is in just as a 2 drop lord.

Shock is primarily to fry off little creatures, but also can be used for some quick chip damage to a planeswalker, or for a finishing blow post combat. Bedevil is in to deal with stuff that shock can’t as well as artifacts. Mortify is used to handle creatures and pesky enchantments. Drill Bit and Duress are more to handle removal and counter spells. Knights' Charge is in there to keep up the pressure as well as to bring EVERYTHING back on turn 8.

The sideboard is still kind of an experiment since I’m still not sure what the new meta will hold.
