This is my Knight Deck please help me refine it and improve it, thanks in advance for the feedback.
Dauntless Bodyguard is a good a 1 drop that really helps mid and late to project your Force Multipliers (Marshall etc)
Knight of Malice/Grace are very effective 2 drops that really synergizes with one another never mind the rest of the deck!
Benalish Marshal is solid value on its own but in particular a force multiplier (+1/+1) with all creatures not just Knights. Caveat! The Marshall is a three white mana so he may not be available early
Danita Capashen, Paragon she is a SOLID three mana 2/2 Knight with First Strike, Vigilance and Lifelink but also has the benefit of reducing auras and equipment costs by one.
Kwende, Pride of Femeref is a bit pricey for a 2/2 but it does have Double Strike but more importantly grants Double Strike to all creatures with First Strike which in this deck adds value and Strikes Double fear into the opposition, when he comes out he is a priority to remove thus 3 in the deck.
Shalai, Voice of Plenty is a 3/4 flyer for 4 cmc that defends your Knights w Hex-proof but also if you make it deep into a game has the ability to add +1/+1 counters to each creature. This is why I added two green lands and two survivors encampments. I only have one of this card but the deck will eventually have 2.
The creature part of this deck is relatively straight forward but the tricky part, and the part for which I most need your assistance is to choose wisely the complimentary cards and sideboard. I’ll show you what I have come up but very much value your input.
I have played three Saturday Dominaria Showdowns so far with this deck. First week 3 losses (0-6), second week 3 losses (2-6), this week 2W/1L (5-2) all against VERY competitive standard lists at the disposal of VERY capable players. Having said that my record is partially due to not drawing a single History of Benalia in first 6 matches. It is a tough but good environment to test a deck. It struggles against control and removal decks, has success against aggro mainly due to the power of first strike and vigilance. It is a relatively fast deck but against fast out of the gate decks it also flounders.
History of Benalia I have thre so they are auto include cards as is the fourth when I get it.
Radiant Destiny I found to be very useful. More so than Pride of Conquerors due to its continuous effects and vigilance when the City’s Blessing is acquired but playing the PoConq strategically as an instant has its value.
Ixalan’s Binding
as you all know is a very potent removal and limits opponents options.
On Serra's Wings give great tactical flexibility with a heavy hitting flyer.
Those cards have consistently been in the deck, I have also used Seal Away Cast Down and Settle the Wreckage
I have tinkered with Cartouche of Solidarity and Trial of Ambition shenanigans but the clearly defined removal and the card limitation of Ixalan’s Binding is too effective to continue with their use.
Divest and Duress have their place but I just haven’t found room for them.
Land wise is used Unclaimed Territory Shefet Dunes Isolated Chapel and the afore mentioned Survivors' Encampment as well as the usual Plains and swamps with a splash of green.
Please comment and share your thoughts and constructive input, thank you!
