Riders of Gavony in your sb for tribal matches.

Champion of the Parish and Cathedral of War would be nice additions to this. Maybe Coat of Arms . Looks solid.

Riders of Gavony isn't necessary as there aren't many Tribal decks being played and isn't as strong of a beater as Hero of Bladehold .

Champion of the Parish isn't a Knight, is slower than Student of Warfare , is terrible after Turn 1, and promotes overextending in order to pump it.

Cathedral of War is too harsh on my manabase. Not tapping for White and entering the battlefield tapped is a major drawback.

Coat of Arms is too expensive for what will most likely result in a +2/+2 pump on average. I want my curve to top at 4.

i think mutavault would be an excellent addition. it would turn into a hard to kill beater late game that keeps coming back

Knight of Glory /White Knight could fit in the sideboard against black. Maybe a little extra control like Bonds of Faith that would double as a buff if needed.

Kinsbaile Cavalier would provide some serious shenanigans here, though not sure how effective it would be as you already have Silverblade Paladin .

As you have Knight Exemplar I would consider running a board wipe or two, Day of Judgment for instance.

I tried using creatures with protection in my Sideboard before. They don't do well as multicolored decks will have removal or blockers in a different colour and they aren't as efficient as the creatures being maindecked. They also take up too many slots the Sideboard.

Kinsbaile Cavalier is outclassed. It competes with Hero of Bladehold in the 4cmc slot and Silverblade Paladin is much more efficient.

I tried running sweepers before. It didn't work out. An aggro deck running sweepers is counterproductive, even though the creature lord makes them indestructible. Also, Day of Judgment competes for the 4cmc slot, which is already full of needed cards.

Mirran Crusader is a knight, like a boss, has double strike, like a boss, and has pro black and green, like a boss. I think it's fair to say this guy is a boss. One lord effect out and he swings for 6 two makes it 8 and I see 20 things in here to buff his power. Might consider him.

Mirran Crusader was taken out for Silverblade Paladin , as Silverblade gives another creature double strike while having it itself...like a boss.

Not at all sure of what your meta is like, but for your sideboard Celestial Purge is amazing, and if you're running into a lot of red, that plus Kor Firewalker is a great way to prevent them from getting the upper hand on you. Leyline of Sanctity also helps to ruin a lot of burn/discard/forced sacrifice/mill strategies

I think you could do worse than running Mirran Crusader . Besides it's inherent Double strike, it also has protection from two relevant colors. Especially with the prevalence of Jund in Modern right now, despite the BBE banning.

Seeing as you don't have anything that costs more than 4, you could probably afford to drop two lands for 2 Crusaders.

@CrimsonWings3689

My meta is currently undefined as Modern is just catching on at my LGS. I have no idea what to have in my sideboard yet.

@jminute14

I don't want to drop lands. Hitting a land drop every turn is crucial.

Ok, what about Cavern of Souls ?

@jminute14

Tried them. Didn't work out.

Running a full set of them screws over Student of Warfare (Cavern can't pay for level up, ruining a potential Turn Two 3/3 first striker).

Running 2-3 of them made them not appear as often in the early game ruining their overall usefulness.

I could see that I guess. Do you have issues with people throwing whatever removal they have at your Student of Warfare as soon as they see it? The Student gets out of control very quickly from my experience if it's allowed to.

@jminute14

I haven't used this deck much as Modern isn't well played in my area yet. I have no idea how opponents will react to Student of Warfare .

Ah, I see...I've got some comments on my Knights deck regarding Student of Warfare suggesting it's a removal magnet. That being said if people want to throw removal at my 1-drop, all the power to them. I usually wouldn't pump it until I've dropped a Knight Exemplar anyway.

I'm working on my own deck Knights of the Red Table, so I like to find other people's and see what they think of various cards. I've splashed red for a few aggro cards, but I am taking a long look at mono-white. Have a look if you want and let me know what you think.

I like Knight decks... but I see you don't have Kinsbaile Cavalier (it allows you to drop Student of Warfare and even Silverblade Paladin ) in it... what's going on with that? Knight of Meadowgrain is also damn good, along with the former. Leonin Skyhunter and Sigiled Paladin are good cards to consider. Mirran Crusader is sick in the 3 CMC section. +1 upvote for the iniciative... keep it up. Cheers

@Busse

Kinsbaile Cavalier , in my opinion, has been outclassed. Hero of Bladehold is the superior 4-drop Knight. Hero can survive most playable burn spells and is more relevant than Kinsbale on an empty board. I want the top of my curve to stand on it's own.

Dropping Student of Warfare is insanity. A Turn 1 Student is the deck's fastest play, leading to a Turn 2 attacking 3/3 with first strike. Student is also still relevant later in the game, as it can act as a 3-drop and further mana can be dumped into it to make it a major threat. Student of Warfare is one of the best White Weenie creatures ever printed.

Silverblade Paladin is another reason Kinsbaile is outclassed: Silverblade is one mana cheaper. Following up a Turn 2 leveled Student or 2-drop with Silverblade puts the pressure on.

The only 2-drop Knight I'd consider is Knight of Meadowgrain . The others I've tried before and didn't like. But I'm still on the fence on Meadowgrain, as I would only drop Accorder Paladin for them and Accorder has been very good.

Mirran Crusader was dropped the instant Silverblade Paladin was printed. Double strike is nice, but giving double strike to an earlier Knight along with it is better and the faster play. Mirran will most likely end up in the sideboard once I put together one.

Add Kinsbaile Cavalier to devasate your opponents. I would also suggest adding a Loxodon Warhammer to give them trample to get the damage through.

Drop the Mutavault for Emeria, The Sky Ruin .

@bigc137

Kinsbaile Cavalier isn't that great. For offering double strike, Silverblade Paladin is more efficient, as I wouldn't have that many creatures on the battlefield to begin with. At 4cmc, Hero of Bladehold is better, as it survives the most played red burn spells, has a mini Anthem effect, and is a much stronger creature by itself.

Loxodon Warhammer is too slow for Modern. On Turn 3 I'd much rather play Student of Warfare , Knight Exemplar , or Silverblade Paladin to give myself board presence. I have no room for Equipment in this deck anyway.

Emeria, The Sky Ruin is an incredibly slow card that will not work in Modern. I need 7 Plains for it to do anything, which can't happen before Turn 8. The game will be over by then. It entering the battlefield tapped also negatively affects my tempo. Mutavault is a great card. It's a creature that avoids most sorcery-speed removal and gets pumped by Knight Exemplar . It's a far better card than Emeria.

Nice deck! +1 I't seems Mirran Crusader would fit nicely in this deck. Perhaps as a sideboard to switch with Student of Warfare against any deck running black or green.

No desire to run Phyrexian Metamorph as a way to get Knight Exemplar 5-8? it doubles as a way to copy problematic creatures like those with say flying which your deck can't deal with outside of hard removal, and considering that you're not running fetch lands, the 2 life should be payable to get indestructible for your creatures faster.Just a thought.
