With Vona, Butcher of Magan , we now have a commander for Black-White Knights, and what better way to build Knights than with Haakon?

This is a straightforward tribal beatdown list, maximizing Haakon's power, and includes as many lifegaining Knights as I could pack into the list to enable Vona shenanigans. Since the deck relies so heavily on Haakon, it includes a full package of tutors to retrieve him, a fallback plan of Pull from Eternity and Mistveil Plains to rescue him (repeatedly) from exile, and a fallback fallback plan of Living Death and Patriarch's Bidding to keep the beats coming no matter what. (Hey, it's still easier than running Haakon as the commander!)

Maybeboard has cards not currently available on Magic Online. Feel free to swap them in if you have them.
