Theme song (click me first)

This is the theme, because it fits the "medieval/fairy tale" theme of Eldraine

This deck is pretty simple, you just have to follow these three steps:

•STEP 1: Play a knight

•STEP 2:

•STEP 3: PROFIT

Basic game plan:

Play creatures and some other stuff, and win.

No, seriously:

A Player's Guide to Winning

•Turn 1: Play a red source of mana. Play Fervent Champion
•Turn 2: Play a black source of mana. Play both Fervent Champion and Knight of the Ebon Legion
•Turn 3: Play another red source of mana. Swing with all three knights, with both of the Champions targeting the Knight of the Ebon Legion. Before damage, flash out Embercleave onto Knight of the Ebon Legion
Win!

Reasons for Cards

It uses cheap cards like Fervent Champion and Knight of the Ebon Legion to get in some early damage, and then pumps it's creatures with Inspiring Veteran . Embercleave is just absolutely bonkers, so there's that. If Steelclaw Lance can be either just attached to a normal creature, or attached with Embercleave for even more fun. Murderous Rider is there for some removal. Wintermoor Commander can make our best knights indestructible, and Rimrock Knight (specifically the adventure) lets our knights do more damage. Shock is there for some burn, along with Risk Factor which gives us card draw if we need it (generally not tho).
