Hey brandon :)

I like your deck!

I would take a look at Revoke Existence instead of disentchant! Same mana cost, but you can exile indestructible entchantments and artifacts :)

Another suggestion would be:

Replacing the Dryad Militant , because he is no knight..

I woud try to play another knight one drop instead.Maybe the full playset of Student of Warfare ?

March 11, 2014 5:49 a.m.

Dryad Militant Elite Vanguard Savannah Lions All do the same thing. Student of Warfare is great to pump up but the 2/1 one drops are for cheap early damage and expendable blockers.

Revoke Existence is not instant. Good ideas though!

Yes no instant speed...may not the best sugestion

If you just need the 2/1 one drop i would go with Soldier of the Pantheon
Best one drop in standard atm

I refuse to ever pay more than a dollar. I got Path to Exiles in trades. And won my Mirran Crusaders in matches with friends.

Cool stuff. Knights is quickly becoming my favorite Tribal.

Two possible options could be White Shield Crusader (flyer with what might be described as a firebreathing sword) and Knight of the White Orchid (mana ramper with a neat trick that can make you have 4 lands on turn 3 / 5 lands on turn 4 if you have less lands than your opponent on turn 3 before you play him or your land for the turn).

+1. Feel free to look at the deck I'm trying to put together if you feel like offering some constructive criticism.

This deck is a good archetype for your typical Knight deck. If you want, you could possibly take out one of the Elf Knights and one of the Hobbit Knights (Kithkin are bloody Hobbitses, lel) for Hero of Bladehold . And I too enjoy running on a lean mana curve, but 20 lands may be cutting it a liiiiittle bit short, 21 might be the magic number if you find yourself mana screwed more than you'd like.

I added White Orchid for that and haven't actually played since. I had 21x before and thank you for reinforcing the need. Oh, believe me Hero of Bladehold will get rid of the Stupid Hobbitses. I don't have 12 bucks for a deck like this though. If I decide to use him in R/W landfall burn hybrid, definitely.

Probably one of the best Knight decks I've seen; I really like low curve aggro decks -- makes it much more consistent and aggressive. But yeah, if you could fit 1-2 Hero of Bladehold that would be awesome. I've also seen a number of people trying to push AEther Vial , but that changes a lot.

July 16, 2014 5:22 p.m.

You know, it's funny, I actually had 3x Hero of Bladehold in here. It slowed me down. I am not denying the skills. But I felt having the additional Gods Willing to back up Brave the Elements was more valuable. If the queen Knight Exemplar isn't protected, the deck gets hurt. I also went for Soldier of the Pantheon over Student of Warfare because there is nothing more useless than a 1/1 when you draw too many.

July 16, 2014 5:42 p.m.

And thank you for the kind words.

tchau204 says... #15

That's fine logic. Hero of Bladehold is often times a "win more" card anyway. I agree with something more immediate like Soldier of the Pantheon as well, over Student of Warfare since you probably don't want to waste time leveling it up (you probably should lose if you find yourself sinking your mana into that instead of casting more creatures). I kind of feel like Dryad Militant is probably better though, since it's quite good against a lot of decks in the meta.

Preeminent Captain is good but all my creatures are Human Knight mostly not soldiers. Thanks though

July 20, 2014 8:52 a.m.

Preeminent Captain is great for soldiers. My deck mainly consists of Human Knights. Thank you though!

won't Riders of Gavony more of a sideboard card if you're playing more of a tribal deck?

July 26, 2014 5:11 p.m.

It has actually been moved out. I don't like it. But you are correct sir

if it's a tribal white knight deck, Kinsbaile Cavalier is pretty good.

bro this is tight, nykthos?

June 18, 2015 12:34 a.m.

Never got around to it. Tribals get destroyed.

But this was my first real deck since 1999. Near and dear thanks man!

June 18, 2015 12:40 a.m.

maybe swap Path to Exile for Swords to Plowshares?in my opinion it fits the thema better.

besides that i rather give an opponent life than fix his mana base.

November 27, 2015 9 a.m.

If it was Legacy, I would absolutely do that.

Swords is not modern.

I want Silver Knight too.
