The Rafiq everyone loves to hate in tribal Knight form. Knights help take the glass out of the cannon that is voltron by being very low cost and packed full of keywords. Any Knight can take the lead, Rafiq doesn't need to be on the battlefield (but he helps) to keep the party moving. Being low cost also helps the deck recover easily from wipes and general "ZOMG RAFIQ" hate without needing massive resources to do so.

This deck goes the extra mile and attempts to be as "knightly" as possible with artwork and flavor text focusing on knights, including things like swords and armor, and choosing lands (where possible) with castles or spires. More power could be coaxed out without this restriction, but its what makes the deck enjoyable.

Also, foil. Because they aren't knights in dull armor...
