Welcome

Welcome to my edition of the Knightfall deck. From posting this deck I hope to gain some feedback on the choices I have made, and get advice for the future of this deck. I am always going to be playing around with it until I find a variation that I find perfect for me.

Game Plan

The deck is a beatdown deck first and foremost, but also includes the Knight of the Reliquary and Retreat to Coralhelm combo. The combo if you are not familiar is having both out on the battlefield with the knight not having summoning sickness. The knight then proceeds to sacrifice plains and forests. When she fetches another land she triggers the retreat's ability and allows you to untap her and repeat. You have an option to untap another one of your creatures or tap down an opposing creature when you fetch a fetch-land. One swing and win once your knight is big enough to deal lethal. Kessig wolfrun is included in case there are hexproof creatures in the way, or if you think they will flash in a blocker last second. You can add mana to your mana pool as you use the combo by tapping lands that you fetch before sacrificing them, or untapping mana producers as mentioned above. A tad tedious but a turn 3 win is worth it. We have multiple great threats at the three drop slot and really hope to hit a Noble Hierarch/Birds of Paradise in our opening hand. We do also have some valuable two drops for when we do not hit our mana producers or if they meet and untimely demise. Exalted is a great ability that is showcased here, it is good enough to Collected Company before combat on your turn if you will be swinging with one creature.

Card Choice

A lot of the cards need no explanation in this deck. Spell Queller is a card that I have been having a lot of fun with in standard and figured I would try it out in modern. It is a hit for my Collected Company and essentially counters and give another body to beat down with. Much of modern is 3cmc or less so there are many targets and usually any of them are worth quelling. Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a card that I have as a one of. If he goes unchecked he presents a very quick clock while also playing defense. Creating extra bodies works will with our Gavony Township plan, and the fact that the creature comes down after attackers are declared allows us to get out exalted triggers as well. Qasali Pridemage I have seen often in sideboard for many peoples deck but I have found I usually end up siding him in. Therefor I have added him to the mainboard. Exalted is never a bad thing to have, and that is him at his worst. He is a versatile two drop that fits great in this deck. I am currently testing out the Courser of Kruphix in this deck. She seems to fit really well. Having more access to land is great in a deck that benefits so much from landfall is great. Her ability to gain life for every land that enters, and her 2/4 body, helps in lots of aggro matches. Her 4 toughness also allows her to avoid the Lightning Bolts!, and as most thing in this deck it can be hit with Collected Company Eldritch Evolution is included in the sideboard as a way to find the cards we need in certain matchups as quick as possible. It also allows us to use fewer spots in the SB for specific answers such as Izzet Staticaster, Kitchen Finks, or Eidolon of Rhetoric.

Thank you very much for your help!
