It tests pretty well. The only two decks I have a real issue with are Affinity and Shadow--so far. The lands serve a few purposes: first, as you stated, they thin the deck--between the fetches and flagstone I can run through the deck pretty quickly, especially since I don't have any card draw, second they work as a bluff against people who don't know the deck, they think I'm running green when I'm really not, finally it gives me a bit of variety of flavor. The last reason isn't so much for competitive reasons, but it is important to me haha.

I'm also going to be looking into putting some more green cards in the sideboard to utilize the land base more; I'm just trying to work out which ones.

If you're going to run green, have you thought about Collected Company and Knight of the Reliquary?

I have! For now I'm keeping it--mostly--mono white for preference, but I do have KOTR in the sideboard for sneaking in during particularly difficult matches. I've never been quite sure about CoCo since, I've found, that my Vials have been enough to get my knights on the board fast enough to put the pressure on and I usually top out around 4(ish) lands a game. I've been really tempted to test it out though.

I only wish I could build this deck, it actually seems very competitive, I never would've thought of Knight Tribal

Seek greater decks... seek the Tron, for that is the only way, lest this format swallow you whole as it has so many others.

Lmao jk. It's a very cool and I love the darksouls reference and gif :D

Swapping Honor of the Pure with Metallic Mimic seems like it could be good. They do pretty much the same thing. Mimic gives a more permanent +1/+1 to creatures, and is a 2/1 knight to boot, however he doesn't work for things already on the board when it comes down making it worse late game and can be killed by creature removal which is main boarded a lot more the artifact/enchantment removal. He also doesn't increase your devotion for shrine. Honor will be removed less (game one at least) adds devotion and isn't dead late game, however it can't attack and if it is removed your creatures lose the bonus. Mimic can also be thrown down with an Aether Vial.

Whatever you choose I would keep the choice between those two. Leonin Skyhunter is too important because of the evasion.

Hopes my opinion helps and Praise the Sun! [T]/

Agree with above poster.

I play knights and like your build.

Leonin is too important.

hi, thanks for upvoting my deck, here are some suggestions, Serra Ascendant for early game play or if you dont want to spend that much money just Sacred Cat. Cartouche of Solidarity would be a good addition to your deck, by giving you humads boosts and first strike (the first strike may not help much tho). also giving you tokens all for one mana. Always Watching might be a good replacement for Honor of the Pure, even if it is one mana more, it will give your humads vigilance alowing the to also block if you need it. so that is all I got, I like your deck alot tho.anyone else that may be reading this, if you upvote one of my deck, i will help with some suggestions on one of yours, and if i like it, upvote it too.

maybe you'd also like to include Light from Within, History of Benalia and for the sideboard Brave the Elements.
