black/white knight tribal. the basic idea is using the knight's natural combat advantage combined with Haakon and Athreos' abilities to make them even harder to kill. Also, Haakon lets you abuse crib swap as it is technically a knight. The light stax package is a support for the knight's recursive abilities with athreos, haakon, reveillark, and debtors knell since i don't think their tribal synergies themselves push them quite over the edge like other tribes such as goblins and elves do. If I can keep the boardstate relatively small and under control I think the knights can dominate the mid game. considering maybe ravos and tymna as alternative commanders but they fit much better as cleric tribal commanders. I've had a lot of advice from friends and I feel the deck is finely tuned now, and I think I'm finally read to start putting the money down to buy the parts, I don't think I need the pieces in the maybeboard but I'd like to hear some arguments for them if anyone has them and what to replace if so. Sword I know is a strong possibility since stoneforge can tutor it up, but I'm not sure what to cut.

Any advice would be appreciated!
