Best color to splash
Modern forum

Im looking at building a Knights deck, and the most common build I've seen is mono white. I'm looking at Boros or Selesnya as possible splashes to run Rally the Peasants and Boros Charm or Rancor and Knotvine Paladin . What do you guys think?

Even just for Lightning Bolt it's probably worth it. But but but...Rancor lol

Was he bullying you? Do we need to get someone to talk to his parents?

Ok...devils advocate though...if I played green I could drop Avacyn's Pilgrim turn one, and start dropping three drop knights turn two provided the pilgrim lives...then I could play Rancor too.
Nayan Knights?

Boros has sooo many fun cards: Lightning Helix , Intimidation Bolt , Aurelia's Fury , Master Warcraft , Fight to the Death and also Skyknight Legionnaire and Truefire Paladin if you're looking for knights.
Then again, a Selesnya Charm could actually spawn you additional knights :P

Selesnya also has some good knights (Knight of the Reliquary , Knight of New Alara , Raven's Run Dragoon , Steward of Valeron , etc.)
I would run Naya if you're thinking multi-color, simply because both RW and GW have great knights.

@ itsover9000...hardy har har...Find me a colorless Knight that's modern worthy and I'll play it.
@ acbooster. Green does have some awesome Knights, and I have a playset of Knight of the Reliquary . I've used Wilt-Leaf Liege a bit in the past too, and it's fun and strong. If I was to go Naya I could play more mid-range with Avacyn's Pilgrim and Birds of Paradise as early drops and be hitting my three and four drops faster...hmmm.....

if you are playing a knights deck best to go mono white or boros as boros packs you the most removal

I vote Red. R/W decks just have access to so much.
Plus I'm biased against green. :)
