not that i'm a great player, but this deck's got no chance in legacy

This is a really fun idea well done! However be careful around things that spit out -1/-1 counters. Someone can proliferate your field to death in a few turns! Still great plan I like it!

I definitely respect your use of Adaptive Automaton in this deck, and was glad to see that you included it.

My principal criticism lies in the fact that you have far too many three-cost creatures and spells. In order to have a more balanced curve, I would move Hero of Bladehold from the Maybe to the mainboard, and increase her numbers to about three or four from two. There are a whole host of excellent white knight two-drops that certainly outshine Leonin Skyhunter . I'm sure you can find appropriate substitutions and additions.

Dante12590 Thanks!

Dimpfoid Thanks for the suggestions. I have the Leonin Skyhunter in here as a response to flying creatures, though I guess it doesn't matter if I'm trying to board wipe with Worldslayer anyway. I'd like to get a couple of Elspeth, Knight-Errant for this deck, but until I get some trade fodder in the twenty dollar range, that will have to stay a pipe dream.

Mean deck and awesome name... just for that I'll give you a +1. Also, no spot removal like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares ? Cheers!

Busse, thanks! Yeah, I use the Oblivion Ring for spot removal. I don't feel like it needs much more than that when the whole purpose of the deck is to board wipe your opponent. If there are cases I may be missing feel free to specify.

Well in that case, maybe you would want to consider Planar Cleansing , expanding the targets from just creatures to... almost everything, besides your knights. :3

Really nice deck! The mana curve is off, though. If your goal is Knight Exemplar, then having so many other 3-drops leads to a lot of dead weight, while if there were more 2-drops you could play them before it...

abstractApathist Do you think it would be worth side boarding the Fiendslayer Paladin and putting Knight of Meadowgrain back in to fix the mana curve? I'm also considering dropping 2x Kinsbaile Cavalier and adding in 2x Silverblade Paladin . What do you think?

October 13, 2013 1:28 p.m.

Yeah I think that putting Knight of Meadowgrain in over Fiendslayer Paladin while keeping him in the sideboard will smooth your curve. I would also drop Oblivion Ring for Path to Exile since it is instant speed, less mana, and heavily synergizes with Knight of the White Orchid .

The name alone was worth the vote. But I also upvote anything Worldslayer so it is a double whammy.

Not too shabby, I like the idea.. :) It actually makes me want to throw a Quest for the Holy Relic in my own Knight deck Techno_Knights..

+1 I like the inclusion of Adaptive Automaton

This build looks a lot like my Knights of the World Slayer. You should throw in a few copys of Hyena Umbra .

War Falcon is a good one drop maybe try Attended Knight itll help recover from a board wipe and Kinsbaile Cavalier gives your guys double strike

shadow63 Thanks for the comment. I pulled Kinsbaile Cavalier in favor of Silverblade Paladin for the lower casting cost. War Falcon doesn't fit very well since it would not be protected with Knight Exemplar when I drop any of the board wipes. I have considered Attended Knight as well, but again, the soldiers don't last against the continuous board wipes.

Jantz Yes, 2x Path to Exile will be replacing 2x Oblivion Ring when I get them.

Dreconius, you've got a good point. I was considering the value of the flashback capability on the Divine Reckoning , but so far I haven't been able to use it before the game is over, so I think Day of Judgement?!?!?!! will take its place.

i see i miss understood the strategy at first but id reconsider kinsbaile hes one more mana to give evrything double strike vs 2 creatures with silver blade
