Hello hello! This is arguably my best deck for 1v1's, group games, etc. I have been banishing foul beasts back from whence they came since 2019, upon making this beauty.

It can definitely be trimmed, but I usually play with all of the cards that would typically be in the sideboard for the fun factor (Archangel of Thune, Angel of Destiny). I'd argue this deck could be more consistent with certain cards, but I only revise a deck if my friends meta can overcome it, so as lazy as I am, not too many changes have been made. When I have time, I'll revisit this posting and further detail combos and how I typically play this deck. The most important card in this deck is Knight Exemplar, protect her and get a second out and you're typically in good shape. Cards like Brave the Elements allow you to keep your creatures safe, and also punch the opponent when needed. Knight of the White Orchid is a great card, as he allows for a little ramp, especially if you find yourself in a pinch.

The majority of this deck can be played with three lands, though it's obviously nice to have more than that. The heavier cards such as Sun Titan, Angel of Destiny, Austere Command, & Shalai, Voice of Plenty are just cherries on top.

Popping a Collected Company is phenomenal if you're backed into a corner, really enjoy that card. Path to Exile works well with Knight of the White Orchid, though if I'm casting it I typically couldn't care less how many lands the opponent has. Knight of Autumn is fantastic for varying situations. I hope you enjoy checking this thing out, it's tribal so everything benefits one another.

I would like to cut down on the total card count, but I'm unsure what cards to sideboard.

Any recommendations are welcome!

Thank you for your time
