Gans on Boros Knights of Rowan

3 years ago

Hi! I'm glad that my comment helped u :) I think that u can cut Rimrock Knight, 1 land (since u have Knight of the White Orchid) and maybe 1 or 2 copies of Maul of the Skyclaves.

Another card that u may like is Valiant Knight, another lord for Knights, not as good as Knight Exemplar but a lot cheaper. Also, be careful with Benalish Marshal, since it specifically requires 3 White, it would not be rare that u can't drop him on turn 3 because u had, for example, 2 White and 1 Red (personal experience haha). U can fix that by adding dual lands that doesn't enter tapped to the battlefield, like Sacred Foundry or Clifftop Retreat, the second one being more accesible due to its cost.

Have a great day!

Sword of War and Peace is tek lol. Knight Exemplar Kinsbaile Cavalier Valiant Knight Vanquisher's Banner

The new guy Armored Skyhunter is pretty deece.

Sigiled Sword of Valeron is one of my favorite equipments in this deck, because you can swing out and replace your knights with new ones every time if they get blocked. Changeling Outcast is also pretty good since hes an unblockable knight.

Emearq on Syr Gwyn - charging back into commander

Updated deck with the cards I have so far - swapped out Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Khorvath Brightflame, Order of Midnight, Silverwing Squadron, Valiant Knight, Wintermoor Commander, Nahiri, the Lithomancer, Cathars' Crusade, True Conviction, Blackblade Reforged and Loxodon Warhammer.

Swapped in Solemn Simulacrum, Open the Armory, Sign in Blood, Read the Bones, Divine Reckoning, Utter End, Mortify, Crush Contraband, Despark, Altar's Reap, Talisman of Hierarchy and Embercleave.

Although it moves some way towards the suggestions of more ramp, more removal and more card draw given up a lot of creatures & specifically the bigger ones in return. Might make keeping up in the mid and later stages of a game pretty tough. Feel a bit unsure on changes but will need to see how it plays out.

I haven't adjusted this deck ever since 2012, but i might update it in the future.. I still have most of the pieces left, so it will depend on schedule and budget when i decide to bring this deck back.. But thanks to all that commented and upvoted this deck!

@dogBITE17 - that can possibly replace a few o-rings.. I'll test it when i get the chance.. Thanks!

@emiliofire - That's a great card! I might add a couple.. Thanks!

@trappedbywit - My problem with Valiant Knight is that the CMC is on the edge of weenie creatures and his ability is expensive to use.. I might activate that ability maybe once per game.. If only it has first strike ability instead of it's activated ability.. but thanks for the suggestion!

@DragonzBane - True.. It might add just the right amount of attacker/s or blocker/s to win the game.. I'll test it for sure.. Thanks!

Valiant Knight can replace Honor of the Pure, with just adding 2 mana for 3/4 body.

Honestly, I think that I would go with Adriana, Captain of the Guard . The reason being that knights already have multiple lords that grant double strike, creatures that natively have double strike, and Khorvath and Sylvia have new-school Partner, so drawing either is equivalent to drawing both. In fact, if you're putting enough draw and filtering into your EDH decks, you'll probably find Kwende, Kinsbale Cavalier, or Valiant Knight before you even get to 6 mana to cast Khorvold. You'd rather just give all of your creatures +2/+2 or +3/+3 every turn than keep a 3rd layer of redundancy in the command zone.

As a result, you could just go full knight tribal. Since the de-facto Knight commander is Mardu, it's still a unique deck. You could put in Acclaimed Contender , Gideon, Ally of Zendikar , Sigiled Sword of Valeron , Righteous Confluence , History of Benalia , Inspiring Veteran , The Circle of Loyalty , Worthy Knight , Gallant Cavalry , Fireborn Knight , Rimrock Knight , Zhalfirin Commander , Militant Angel , Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor , Mirran Crusader , Bloodsworn Steward , Cavalier of Flame , Cavalier of Dawn , Skyhunter Skirmisher , Crimson Honor Guard , Marton Stromgald , Accorder Paladin , Embereth Skyblazer , Ardenvale Tactician , Daring Skyjek , Raging Redcap , Skyknight Legionnaire , and Truefire Paladin . That's all specific to knights, and all the usual tribal stuff is open, as well.

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 .

Hey man! I got a few suggestions. Feel free to ignore any/all of them:

1. I kinda agree with PhaylogenX: Valiant Knight seems pretty good here (I see you've included it). Another pair of cards to consider for this type of role are Knight Exemplar and Kinsbaile Cavalier . They're like... good.

2. I think Wear / Tear is likely better than your Crush Contraband . It costs less to cast if you're only targeting one or the other, and it still costs less than Crush Contraband if you're using both halves. However, it IS destroy rather than exile; this is frequently not an issue, but if it is a meta call please do ignore me.

3. Since you're in black, you have access to the best tutors. Unfortunately, many of them are expensive: Things like Demonic Tutor , Vampiric Tutor and Imperial Seal are gonna set you back a lot. Consider running things like Dark Petition , Diabolic Tutor and Mastermind's Acquisition are all good cards.

4. Your rocks could use some work. I like the signets, but I like the talismans more. Talisman of Hierarchy , Talisman of Conviction and Talisman of Indulgence are all better than their respective signets.

5. You may want to consider some of the death and taxes staples. Mother of Runes and Giver of Runes are good ways to protect 'ya bois. Rest in Peace can hose a lot of decks, especially the ones I play. More generally, Stax and Hatebears can blow chunks on OPs. Winter Orb can slow down opponents from responding to your on-board pressure; Trinisphere is similar but expensive. Price of Glory can disincentivize counter-magic; Aura of Silence taxes one-sidedly in your favor.

6. You're running a lot of basic lands. Consider Blood Moon and/or Magus of the Moon to punish more expensive decks.

7. I think Cataclysm is probably better than Tragic Arrogance .

Right. That's all I got. Good luck!
