I'm seeing a lot of budget and Standard choices, so I would suggest Temple of Silence in place of the Guildgate. After that, Knights are a common tribe, so keeping in mind cheapness - Arvad the Cursed , Benalish Honor Guard , Benalish Knight , Benalish Marshal , Blood-Cursed Knight , Danitha Capashen, Paragon , Dauntless Bodyguard , Knights of the Black Rose (maybe) and Valiant Knight .

DMFF thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna try replacing Pitiless Horde and Blood-Cursed Knight with Ammit Eternal and Bloodgift Demon . If you see this deck change permanently, then you are the one to thank.

Blood-Cursed Knight Drana's Emissary Tithe Drinker Could allow some real nice combos or maybe just a basic Vizkopa Vampire could cut some cost and allow more aggro/life link.

You're very heavy on the 4-drop slot. I would recommend cutting the Approach of the Second Sun, since you should be trying to win by bringing your opponent's life to zero. Anointed Procession is cool, and can be powerful, but it relies on you following it up with other cards. THough pricey, this should be History of Benalia as this card does not depend on being followed up by another card and produces more Knights on its own.

Instead of Murder, Fatal Push or Path to Exile are better choices. For more budget options, Declaration in Stone, Go for the Throat, Cast Down, Anguished Unmaking, and Oblivion Ring are good options.

You should be running 4 of the Dauntless Bodyguards in the maindeck, they should not be in the sideboard. You're going to be wanting to swarm the enemy in a flood of chivalry as fast as possible, and a few amazing 1 drops can help you out that way. Accorder Paladin, Knight of Glory, and Sigiled Paladin are all great 2 drop knights that help you out in attacking strong and early. Knight of the White Orchid can act as ramp, but is also a decent beater.

Always Watching is an amazing anthem effect! Plus if you run this, History of Benalia, and removal like Oblivion Ring, or Banishing Light, you could run Blood-Cursed Knight!

Mirran Crusader is extremely powerful and you should definitely be running 4 of this one.

Vona, Butcher of Magan is really cool and can give you an answer to nearly anything, and she helps pay for herself with that lifelink.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor may not make a knight, but that uptick can be a crushing blow for you enemy. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar makes knights and can drop an emblem to give your team a permanent buff.

You'll also want to use some of black's card draw capabilities, since card advantage is definitely white's biggest weakness. Don't be afraid to spend a little bit of life to draw some cards with Dark Bargain, Read the Bones, Night's Whisper, Sign in Blood, or Damnable Pact just to name a few.

You should also definitely be running lands like Isolated Chapel, Concealed Courtyard, and Godless Shrine

For your sideboard, cards like Duress are very important if you're running black, I would recommend running 3-4 of these in your sideboard, since you have no other hand disruption. Celestial Purge is pretty popular, as is Timely Reinforcements. Vraska's Contempt and Anguished Unmaking can help you deal with opposing planeswalkers, and Unmaking hits any troublesome non-land, Rest in Peace, Stony Silence, and Zealous Persecution are very strong sideboard options as well.

Let me know if this was helpful or would like to know some of the reasoning's behind the suggestions!

First of all, thanks for commenting, ZolvaNation.

About Blood-Cursed Knight: although I only have 2 enchantments in the deck, I usually get to play them, so it could be a good addition! Probably I would take out Inspiring Cleric...I just play them because a friend has a white enchantment/heroic deck and always gets protection against B, so I use them to have a way of blocking his creatures.

Now about Harsh Sustenance: I need to try it, but I believe it would work better in a vampire token deck, which naturally will have more creatures in the field.

Is Blood-Cursed Knight good for your deck

ZorrosRage My friend who I play with (MetaphysicalxProdigy) has a Knights deck that I've been playing against for years so I already have a good understanding of what makes them tick and work.

I'll be the first to say Kinsbaile Cavalier is purely for testing, if I change the deck it'll be the first thing I cut, followed by Blood-Cursed Knight and Edge of Divinity. The best deck possible for Knights is Mono W with MAYBE a splash of black for Aryel, Knight of Windgrace. I just wanted my deck to be different enough from his so that it felt like we weren't playing the same deck. Danitha Capashen, Paragon would be cool, but if I did I would want to try to Frankenstein a Arvad the Cursed knights deck instead, which actually sounds really fun.

Journey to Nowhere will definitely be in consideration in the future for the deck, especially if I keep Blood-Cursed Knight in the deck, thanks for the suggestion.

I almost never have sideboards for my decks because I play with so few people and I don't attend constructed tournaments, but Mirran Crusader is 100% sideboard material if I ever attend. Hero of Bladehold is a good card but I'm not a huge fan of her in Knights. My friend used it for a while and there was always something better to play. He uses Brimaz, King of Oreskos instead.

I am not sure about Kinsbaile Cavalier let me know how it tests. Just doesn't seem to have enough impact on its own for 4 cost to me.

if you going to use Blood-Cursed Knight you can also use Danitha Capashen, Paragon if you want to go more enchantment heavy.

Seal Away or Journey to Nowhere could work also if you are using Blood-Cursed Knight. you'll have a better chance to trigger. Same with possibly more buffs

Mirran Crusader would be great main or side

Hero of Bladehold I think is underrated dodges bolt and brings friends and buffs
