Imagine if you will playing Dark Souls. You're a knight who dies, but keeps coming back, not to mention the monsters you previously encountered...

On a steady line to make a primarily Knight-based tribal, I've looked to take advantage of Haakon's ability to summon knights back out of the graveyard, and thus chose to use knights with added abilities attached to them. This allows for some heavy confusion on the board, since you have so many creatures who have protections against colors, 1/1 counter addons and subtractions, and the like. Opponents will have to choose wisely when attacking what you have.

The deck holds decent survivability with lifelink and gaining other sources of life to keep Haakon on the field who will take the aggro hits since he's your main source of resurrection.

Things to be wary of are the weak nature of the knights, often being around the 2/2 area, and exiles. Something to keep in mind is you should be careful with when you pull out Haakon, ideally when you have knights in your graveyard and creatures like Knight Exemplar are ready to go as both a method to keep him alive, and a failsafe in case he gets removed from the game.

NOTE: Still WIP
