Everdawn Champion and Seraph of the Sword seem like perfect blockers. Other cards like Hundred-Handed One and Watcher in the Web . Also theres cards like High Ground and Brave the Sands help out big time as well. Someone mentioned Stuffy Doll I think that's a great one. Someone mentioned Guardian of the Gateless that card and all the cards that allow you to block multiple creatures go great with Godsend . Theres so many great blockers. Someone mentioned Ophiomancer , that's a fantastic suggestion.

golgarigirl on Kaldra Battle Synergy

Gonna give the above comment the benefit of the doubt of being tongue-in-cheek, but it's not helpful either way...

Now to attempt to be helpful...can I ask what the goal of the deck is? Perhaps even why you chose your commander, or what makes a 'Helm Synergy' etc. Putting that in the comment would help us make recommendations (assuming you want help...maybe you're just posting a decklist for personal use, and that's fine too)! I can see trying to mimic the effects of the Kaldra pieces in your sorting? Godsend can mimic the sword in the colors you're playing, and Viridian Longbow or Marath, Will of the Wild are fun, since the sword doesn't require you to deal combat damage to exile something, just damage.

TheVectornaut on Knight Deck

If you can afford it, I highly recommend Knight Exemplar for almost any knight deck. It makes even the smallest squires obnoxiously difficult to deal with, especially if you can get two copies in play. When I ran it in mono-white knights way back when, I found that I'd sometimes get into big board stalls, but Curry Favor on Smitten Swordmaster is a great way to win from such a position. You could also just try to go even wider with more Worthy Knight , History of Benalia , Call the Bloodline , Hero of Bladehold , Gideon, Ally of Zendikar , Sigiled Sword of Valeron , The Circle of Loyalty , or some combination thereof. With enough knights in the deck, I'd want the full 4 of Tournament Grounds and possibly some Unclaimed Territory / Cavern of Souls if your pockets are deep. If I was cutting something, I think I'd start with the Basri planeswalker deck package. With the possible exception of the Lieutenant, those cards are just not that efficient.

As an aside, I love the cheeky combo with Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale and Colossus Hammer . It's probably too narrow to be effective right now, but I can totally see a world where that dream becomes a reality. Big dumb equipment like Helm of the Host , Moonsilver Spear , and Godsend supported by knights with equip synergy like Danitha Capashen, Paragon , Puresteel Paladin , Armored Skyhunter , Balan, Wandering Knight , and maybe even a Kinsbaile Cavalier for maximum overkill.

Omniscience_is_life- Thanks for the input. I've decided to try a lot of the changes you mentioned. I have added Charging Tuskodon , Fiendish Duo , Halvar, God of Battle  ^Flip, Reyav, Master Smith , Mind Stone , and Teferi's Protection .

I decided to drop Godsend , Toolcraft Exemplar , Tajic, Blade of the Legion , Worn Powerstone , Commander's Sphere , Ajani, Strength of the Pride , and finally Talisman of Conviction .

I have added some cards to my maybeboard that I may try to add in at some point.

My deck's boardwipes already have Austere Command , Blasphemous Act , Divine Reckoning , Single Combat and my personal favorite Tragic Arrogance .

Thanks again for your wonderful suggestions!

If your opponent knows you have an indestructible megablocker, they'll be unlikely to willingly swing into it. To force their hand, I'd like something like Trove of Temptation or Bident of Thassa , with some white alternatives being Gideon Jura and Oracle en-Vec . Hundred-Handed One is another creature with a similar effect to the guards while Godsend is another way to truly punish attacking.

PurePwnage on Hammer Time

cyeRunner, so I own this deck list both on paper and through MTGO prior to adding it to tapped out. Originally, I ran Lurrus as a companion in the sideboard, until being able to actually measure it's effectiveness against other decks. Several things became abundantly clear with this card:

(1). The "updated" companion rule makes it horrendously slow and clunky. Six Mana for 3/2 creature with lifelink with excellent recursive properties is still too expensive for modern. WOTC really messed things up by nerfing the companion rules.

(2). Easy target for removal, discard, or counter magic. Unfortunately, openly revealing your intentions isn't always a good thing. Rarely, have I ever got more than one activation, before it ends up landing in the graveyard or exile.

(3). Meta dependent, where mid-range and control shells rain supreme Lurrus is fucking fantastic, but in an aggro heavy modern it's usually a death sentence because of the resource commitment and low pay off. Normally, when I run Lurrus as a companion, I will also have several Unearth's in the mainboard, because it attracts so much hate.

Finally, I decided to troll with Godsend because I thought it synergizes well with other cards and forces my opponent to make hard decisions about coming at me. This is especially true against mid-range decks.

Remove Godsend in Favour of Lurrus of the Dream-Den, it has more Grinding-Power in longer games.
Also you might consider Manriki-Gusari in your sideboard for the Mirror Match or other Stoneforge Mystic Decks since you can tutor it.

DragonOfTheWest on Card creation challenge

I haven't watched the trailer and couldn't find a transcription, so this might not be perfectly lore-compatible. I'm imagining something like Worldslayer with a bit of Godsend.

Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a creature or planeswalker, exile that permanent.

Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, destroy all nonland permanents.

Note that this still plays well with the double strike granted by Halvar.

Another legendary Norse equipment.
