FAIRxPOTAMUS on Band of Kjeldor

DreadKhan what are your thoughts on Kjeldoran Phalanx, Lost Order of Jarkeld, Seraph or Sworn Defender? To me I love running playsets of 4 for the most chance of drawing a card. I think these would be great but I’m not sure what I would pick. Seraph is pretty cool for taking over creatures, Sworn defender sounds great for defense, and lost order of jarkeld and kjeldoran phalanx seem somewhere in the middle of good offense and defense. kjeldoran phalanx seems pretty good because banding but LOoJ has higher potential being a 1+X/1+X. I partly like Kjeldoran Escort for being a 2/3 with banding so I can divide damage equally amongst them, making them a little beefy as defenders. Hell I just run them like a 2 cost card for that so I can have a better 4 cost. I’ll pop out Scars of the Veteran and make them or something else that much tougher, resulting in a greater band.

Dropping in to suggest Sworn Defender. A cheap and easily available Knight that almost always flies under the radar due to Reserve that has an amazing ability. Any additional buffs and it becomes an instant juggernaut. Easily the most powerful Knight in my deck, especially if I come in with First/Double Strike.

I love this deck. it's probably possible to make a fairly budget version, which I love even more :p . With the number of 'anthem' type effects and aggro approach you could probably do with some cheaper creatures regardless - Tasseled Dromedary and the like. There are loads of 1 white mana 0/4s that would make for a very interesting and more consistent turn 3 attack. other nice buffs like Shield Wall would also work well with this. some other plain old walls would also work well with an 'early game' approach if you threw in a little more 'defender' removing stuff. Things like Abzan Beastmaster could help you keep some cards in hand. If you're liking the life gain, Angelic Chorus and maybe even Genju of the Fields could be interesting. Colfenor's Urn seems like it would be worth having. Diamond Valley in an emergency, Proper Burial, maybe with Fruit of the First Tree. If you need tokens, Korozda Guildmage's your gal. Scourge of Skola Vale, Sight of the Scalelords, Sentinel, Sworn Defender, Traproot Kami, and Tree of Redemption could also be fun :)
