Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale Knight Aggro

Aggro in EDH Show

Just because this is an aggro deck doesn't mean that it is easy to pilot. There are even more nuances to playing an aggro deck in EDH than there is in 1v1 formats. Aggro in EDH is, to put it nicely, difficult to play successfully. Generally, the lack of consistency, more life, and being a multiplayer format stacks the deck against low to the ground aggro strategy.

Gameplay/Strategy Show

An ideal turn 1 play would be: land, ramp, creature. Since the creatures are usually 2 or 3 power they can usually fly under the radar of targeted removal. The deck should be as aggressive as possible, meaning swing at your biggest threat. Ramp, control, and pillow fort are the most difficult match ups and should be the main focus to beat down as everyone else sets up.

During mid game (turn 4-5 in my meta) the deck is at its weakest. the mind set switches from a rabid dog mentality to a more scavenging rat looking for beneficial attacks and trades with no focused target (if everyone is at parody). Ideally, this is where the equipment comes into play to set up late game. At this point in the game the deck is probably running out of gas. Board and threat assessment are very important from this point forward and balancing out just enough pressure to stay relevant without over extending.

If the match goes on into late game the deck gets a second wind. This is where Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale comes into play. The board state and life totals determine the best strategy to go with: Replenish your hand if you still have knights or buff her up and go for the kill.

Big Weakness Show

The biggest weak point of this deck is the equipment. Artifact hate is very common, and if the equipment gets removed, it can permanently shut the deck down. I found the best thing to keep in mind is to not have more equipment out than the number of creatures you have.

There are only 3 scenarios I can think of to play more equipment than creatures: if you can equip it on the same turn you play it, if you have back up equipment, or if you have ways of protecting it. Now, there are a lot of things that can happen in EDH, so at some point all the rules go out the window.

I am not expecting this deck to be competitive or as strong as most of my decks, but it should be strong enough to hang with low-mid strength decks.

Always appreciate and encourage suggestions!
