So I looked a Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale and thought to myself.
"i want to build knight tribal"
Then i continue looking at the spoilers and my smile grew wider.

i have been wanting to do knights for a while and originally i was planning to just run Aryel, knight of windgrace as the commander, but this does offer an addition but of fun. Equipment. I would not make it a voltron deck by any means, but having knight tribal with some fun stuff (like the swords of X and Y) could be very beneficial with a 0 cost to equip. (And Knights' charge can counteract the loss of life, but i plan to to have a bit more life gain in there.)

Then i decided to get to the bulk of the deck. 2 mana 2/2s. I believe they are called hate bears, but since they are all going to be knights, i decided to call them hate knights. So basically a huge bulk of 2 mana 2/2s is the goal here. maybe about but i will also be playing others.

so i want a bit of help with construction. I have the basic idea of what i want and might not need much help, but i still like to ask for help before even deciding if i really do need it. (That way i can get people to bounce ideas around and help brew.)

Limiting it to 2 mana 2/2s really puts a damper on things for me. Puresteel Paladin, obviously, but after that...*shrugs*?

On the bright side, if you want them to be all 2 mana, you can get tremendous value out of Immortal Servitude!

I stated the bulk of the deck will be 2/2s for 2. that however is not the only thing i am going with. I mean Aryel is going in the deck. I am gonna run other creatures. I am just saying when it comes to creature i am still gonna focus on hate bears. I am not even only running knights. Leonin Shikari is gonna be in the deck. (Only cause instant speed equip is great, and with 10-15 cards being equipment, i may as well run her) (7 swords (Of X and Y), a (+10/+10) hammer...)

Immortal Servitude is pretty good. i will probably run that. As while i will not get all my knights back, i will get a bulk of them back.


also Bludgeon Brawl is in Zurgo.


I should also mention that Black knight, White Knight and their brothers Blood Knight and Silver knight are all being run.

"Hate bear" usually connotes a stax-type effect, like leonin arbiter. Having protection is stretching the criteria imo, and it only gets thinner from there. Personally I wouldn't worry that much about hate knights as a concept, just run whichever knights are best.

All this talk about knights and not one mention of Knight of Dawn...

For shame, guys. For shame.

Really wish those Cavaliers were elemental knights rather than just elementals.

Eldraine alone gives me a lot of knights to work with that synergize. And then i have my other knights. So this is gonna be a tribal/swarm/aggro deck.
