The general concept around this deck is to capitalize on Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale's ability to equip knights for free. As such, the deck is heavy on equipment as well as cards that bank on artifacts being present and ways to fetch those handy swords, shields, and armor. As with many knight decks that run {B}, there is a subtle reanimation theme with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge.

A good deal of effort was put into protecting my boardstate as a sword and shield can not wield itself and the deck stalls if there are not creatures to equip. Thus, a good deal of effort was put into ensure there is a good balance between offensive/defensive capabilities. Haakon, Stromgald Scourge is a backup plan just in case I do find that the majority of my creatures found their way into a graveyard.
