This deck is all about the knights and what they're wearing. The stars of the build are Knight Exemplar + Knight Exemplar to cover each other and Argentum Armor + Puresteel Paladin to cause real damage in my opponent's strategy. Using Haakon Stormgald Scourge + Crib Swap or Nameless Inversion for virtually infinite targeted removal and Serra's Blessing allows you to stay on the offensive, shutting down most creature-heavy decks.

Lots of other flavor pieces like Adaptive Automaton for extra buff, and War Report if things get ugly, Demonmail Hauberk and Heartseeker are both fun because of the Puresteel's metalcraft ability, and Elbrus, the Binding Blade + Whispersilk Cloak is just fun regardless of the deck.

I tried to keep the mana curve on the low end so it really shows its teeth midgame. Recursion and evasion keep the deck running through late game strategies. It's a go-wide base that can build into a go-tall if it needs to. Either way the deck plays out, your creatures will be pretty big, very hard to kill, and they should keep getting back up when they do fall.

Edit: this deck will be getting a facelift with the release of Dominaria.
