This is a deck I've been brewing since shortly after KnT were released. The deck I've found has the power to hang as well as any stax deck could, turning away tough competition like Breya Combo, Arcum, Azami, and other of the meaner decks in the format. The deck aims to start placing lock pieces on turns 2-3 to slow down the game and offer some disruption, then tighten up the lock as the game progresses.

Why Kynaios and Tiro?

KnT gives access to a very unique and diverse color combination. This is the only deck you'll see Gaddock Teeg, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Blood Moon, and Dack Fayden in the same list. In addition to the plethora of powerful prison pieces these colors enable, KnT offer us a way to help break the symmetry of our stax pieces a little further. By giving us the full value of an Explore every turn, we are given a much needed source of card advantage and ramp, offsetting the costs of our stax and keeping our game plan moving. Additionally, this lovely couple doesn't necessarily draw a target. I can't remember the last time I've had someone burn a targeted removal spell on KnT, simply because the advantage we get from them is not obvious over the course of even many turns.

Please make sure to view the custom categories! Leave an upvote if you think the deck was helpful. I'll update the description soon and link to a primer on the deck as well.
