Oathsworn Knight

Creature — Human Knight

Oathsworn Knight enters the battlefield with four +1/+1 counters on it.

The black Knight technically already exists in Oathsworn Knight but I have an idea for him.

The Black Knight

Legendary Creature- Knight

The Black Knight enters the battlefield when 4 limb counters.

When The Black Knight is dealt damage prevent that damage and remove a limb counter.

When there are no climb counters left on The Black Knight, sacrifice it.

“None shall pass… We’ll call it a tie”

4/4

Create the holy hand grenade of Antioch. Bonus cookie if it includes counting to three, but no more and no less than 3.

Oathsworn Knight is already a pretty good top-down Black Knight.

Legion Angel isn't the best payoff that you can put in this deck. Ill rather pick another explosive big payoff creature like I mentioned above. Immersturm Predator is doing nuts in my version of offspring's revenge in arena. Im just sacrificing my either Acquisitions Expert or Basri's Lieutenant for value later on in offspring's revenge. Also, if you're going to Burning-Rune Demon , will you consider replacing it with Gravebreaker Lamia with lesser mana cost and more survivability yet still the same ability?

As for rankle, I would just go 3 copies of it replacing the lilianas. I can see her more as a sideboard card against dedicated control decks. Rankle can do damage, discard your big payoff card and draw another card. Also, selecting your sideboard depends on your local metagame or decks that you usually encounter in MTG Arena.

...or go Yorion just like everybody else lol...Since you love to self mill cards and Dimir rogues are in the current metagame, it goes into your favor. Just add more boardwipes like Doomskar and Shatter the Sky if you're worried with go wide decks.

If you really want to stick with Harmonious Archon , I will choose creatures that grows like Immersturm Predator , Oathsworn Knight , Fiend Artisan and Victory's Envoy .

Hope these advices help you more refining your deck.

You can always mix and match these creatures I mentioned above without following the companion restrictions. I suggested obosh because your odd creatures can do basically double damage (not double strike) specially Oathsworn Knight . If you put Terror of Mount Velus in the battlefield, you can potentially do 4x the damage with obosh - double damage and double strike...ouch lol. On the other hand, Gyruda can do chain mills and chain summoning creatures like Gyruda into Rankle with offspring's revenge and swing both, gyruda into another gyruda into whatever even creature you milled, or gyruda into your opponent's milled even creature (hello, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider , Kogla, the Titan Ape lol). Its just that Gyruda can do a lot of possible combos when it resolves while obosh is more on dealing more damage to your opponent.

Kenrith, the Returned King is another good payoff but if you want to utilize him fully, you can go 5 color...unless you put 4 copies of The World Tree lol...but seems doable right?

Edit: I like your idea of Valki to either enter as a creature (even reanimated - also very good with Harmonious Archon ) or enters as Tibalt Late game hehe.

I have an offspring's revenge deck on my own in Arena but I am glad to help you out since I love brewing this card.

You can go in two ways - Go Odds or Evens. Why did I say that? because you can abuse these companions to build around offspring's revenge - Obosh, the Preypiercer or Gyruda, Doom of Depths without them being your companion.

Also, you will need to have enablers in this deck. while we agree self mill is good in this deck, I like to control which cards do I actually dump early game for my payoffs from offspring's revenge later on. So I recommend cards like Cathartic Reunion , Thrill of Possibility and Fissure Wizard .

For payoffs if I go odds - you can go for Oathsworn Knight , Skyclave Apparition , obosh, Ox of Agonas (very good card draw and cheap escape cost), Drana, the Last Bloodchief and Terror of Mount Velus

If I go evens (and i recommend this due to more options, combos and your 1/1 tokens become bigger) - Immersturm Predator , Rankle, Master of Pranks (very very good in this deck), Harmonious Archon , gyruda (sell mill but it picks up more payoffs), Moraug, Fury of Akoum (if you combine it with drana, you can have multiple chain combat triggers with offspring's revenges)

...or if you can combine both. Its up to you how you can improve this deck. Hope it helps.

Yeah I wanted to build a shell that could work even without drawing Offspring's Revenge , and could consistently hit even if it's just one of the main shell creatures. I'm torn between filling the deck with toolbox etb effects like with Demon's Disciple and Burning-Rune Demon or beefy hits like Oathsworn Knight and Polukranos, Unchained . I think it's gonna need a bunch of playtesting with a lot of different builds before it feels right.

Don't forget to put CMDR next to your commander's text in the entry box to make him show up as your commander.

As for advice, I would try to lower the number of 3 drops you have (Curve is suffering because of this) and then add more 2 mana ramp like Rampant Growth or Three Visits, while cutting back on your "goodstuff" cards that aren't necessarily adding synergy like Azusa, Lost but Seeking. I would also cut Triskelavus, Oathsworn Knight, Nantuko Husk, and Duneblast. These cards either dont add much to your deck or are far overcosted for what they do (Specifically dune blast's effect being overcosted when you could be running the multitude of 4 mana wraths or just Single Combat)

This deck is like removal tribal. Opponents will concede after the third Angrath's Rampage and the evolution sage /deathsprout combo to ramp into Chandra and burn them away.

Also, I have a great combo deck I would like to post, but somehow, my computer doesn't let me so can you do it?

Here's the combo, and the decklist.

Combo: Cruel Celebrant, Heliod, Sun-crowned, Woe Strider, Basri's Lieutenant.

Board state: Cruel Celebrant, Heliod, Sun-crowned, and Woe Strider on board. Play Basri's Lieutenant T4. Put +1/+1 counter on Woe Strider's Goat token. Sacrifice Goat Token. Cruel Celebrant and Basri's Lieutenant will trigger. You make a 2/2 Knight token and you gain 1 life, and your opponent loses 1. Heliod triggers. Put +1/+1 counter on 2/2 Knight. Activate woe strider and sac the 2/2 knight, and get your opponent's life down to 0!

Decklist:

Creature (25)
4x Basri's Lieutenant 4x Woe Strider
4x Cruel Celebrant 4x Heliod, Sun-Crowned 3x Knight of the Ebon Legion 2x Oathsworn Knight

Land (24)
2x Castle Ardenvale 4x Cauldron Familiar 4x Godless Shrine 4x Scoured Barrens 6x Plains 7x Swamp 1x Indatha Triome

Artifact (3) 3x Witch's Oven

Planeswalker (2) 2x Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis

Instant (2)
2x Light of Hope

Sorcery (4) 4x Basri's Solidarity
