The knights as a force on the ground.

One of the most interesting tribals around are the knights. What makes it especially interesting is the power that comes from Knight Exemplar. Giving all your knights indestructible is quite fun. However, is does not prevent your knight to dying from Path to Exile and Dismember. Moreover, it takes quite some time before you can get her on the field. Though Aether Vials can accelerate the amount of bodies produced at later stages of the game, it can also hinder the tempo that could possibly lead you to victory. Therefore, I am not yet certain whether to include them or replace them for the likes of Honor of the Pure. To come back on the fragility for Path to Exile and Dismember, white has access to protection from colors via Brave the Elements for example, so you are not defenseless against their destruction.

A very nice interaction in this deck is indestructibility with Pariah. If you manage to get the indestructibility on the board, pariah makes sure that your knights will protect you from all harm.

I would love this deck to be viable, although it misses some cards that yet have to be printed for the knights to survive the battlefield!

Please let me know your thoughts.
