Wondering how strong Knight of the Reliquary is right now with decks aiming to graveyard hate on Treasure Cruise?
If anything, the prevalence of cruise makes people not want to invest on yard hate as much as before, thereby making her stronger than before. How she fairs against the delver, ascendancy, and accession that's flying around is something I'm not familiar with, however. G&W happen to be the two colors I couldn't care less about.

If anything, slightly better atm... the only card that is seeing play that could potentially pose a graveyard threat against it is Scavenging Ooze, which still is only a 1 or 2 of... But overall, he just isn't a busted card... Tarmogoyf fills his role in most decks for 1 less mana...

That deck is sweet. It may not be the strongest, but it seems fun as hell

I was playing Haakon, Stromgald Scourge and Knight of the Reliquary in my Gifts Ungiven deck for a while. Was one of the coolest decks I've ever played. Unfortunately, my meta has a ton of Affinity, Elves, Goblins, Zoo, RDW, etc. for it to be viable.
I think it'd fare better in a slower, environment with more tempo, control, and combo around.
The ability to go "End of turn, Gifts Ungiven for Knight of the Reliquary, Nameless Inversion, Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, Life from the Loam" with an active Liliana of the Veil out was awesome lol.

I could see Knight of the Reliquary being really bad if Rest in Peace becomes more prevalent. But since knight doesn't count all ggraveyards I don't see it as being much weaker than it already is.
