This deck is based around Knights. The goal is to win by causing loss of life to my opponent for summoning Knights, attacking with Knights, and having Knights die. The majority of damage to my opponent will be from effects that cause life loss, not direct attack to life points. There is also a lot of life gain for me to help stall if needed.

This deck includes creatures such as Knight of the Ebon Legion and Twinblade Paladin who will become powerful from life gain and life loss.

Knights' Charge with enough active Knights is the most common win condition.

Key Synergies

• Worthy Knight + Corpse Knight can cause up to two damage: one for a token when casting the Knight creature spell and one for the Knight entering the battlefield.

• Syr Konrad, the Grim + Knights' Charge . I have yet to activate the mana ability of Knights' Charge , but it would deal damage to my opponent for each Knight to be summoned this way.

• I have some ability to bring back things my opponent kills as an insurance policy. Witch's Cottage , Order of Midnight , Cavalier of Dawn , and Cavalier of Night can help me retrieve things that are in my graveyard. Syr Konrad, the Grim damages my opponent in the process if I'm getting a creature.

I am going to bring this deck to my first FNM soon, and see how I do.

Planned Changes (when I get the cards)

• Swap one Twinblade Paladin for another Knight of the Ebon Legion .

• Swap in Kaya's Wrath in the sidedeck. (Possibly replacing Doom Foretold , I haven't decided yet).
