It's a sideboard consideration. I can see it taking the place of Extirpate if Punishing Fires decks don't show up in force. I was also thinking Basilisk Collar belongs somewhere in the 75. ...
With the recently announced bannings to Modern, the format is wide open. Not that the newly minted format was ever limited to begin with. There's an incredible amount of deck diversity as players...
1. We play Crib Swap because it synergizes well with Haakon.
2. As you yourself stated, one of the greatest weaknesses of Knights is its frailty to burn. Stillmoon Cavalier doesn’t solve that...
I think at that point you have a whole different deck. They deck really doesn't have the slots to devote to a toolbox.
It's an interesting idea. You dilute your deck of non-knights and I think there are more broken things you can do with Fauna Shaman. Still the deck is difficult to beat with Haakon in the yard. ...
Seems rather lackluster in that case. The Zombie deck is not lacking for 3-drops. The real problem is at the 2-drop position. Beyond Tidehollow Sculler I feel that we need one more great zombie at...
Ideally you cheat Haakon into play with Aether Vial. Barring that you target yourself with Thoughtseize/Inquisition to discard Haakon in the graveyard. The latter is less ideal, hence the move...
I think you forgot to include the creature's casting cost... if there is one. The drawback seems pretty steep, on the level Myr Superion, which see's no play. Tombstalker this ain't.
I think most tribal decks are itching for a "ringleader effect," not just knights. Luckily you do have some card advantage in the form of Dark Confidant and Haakon.
I would love to see another...

By strict definition its aggro-control, but it feels much more controllish because I don't think you can out aggro ~80% of the decks in the format. Not that that's a bad thing.

@ 4eak
My list is rough. Path may be the better choice, but I don't think the gap between Path and Dismember in a black deck is as wide as you think it is. When I drafted the list I wanted it to...
With the release of Innistrad, might we not have a few good zombies?
Diregraf Ghoul :b:
Creature – Zombie

As long as we're brainstorming ideas here, I suppose you could construct a Knights deck with a strong equipment package. Perhaps something like:
Creatures: 24
4 Puresteel Paladin
4 Auriok...
@ daugarten
Ah... good old Mono White Control. It seems that your deck is a bit top heavy on three drops. I'm not sold Oblivion Ring. It seems like you're better off playing Leonin Relic-Warder...
@ apprentice
My experience with Kinsbaile Cavalier is that the card is underwhelming. The Cavalier occupies a space at the top of the 4cc pyramid. Playing a Cavalier on an empty board doesn't...
Auxiliary Knights
These knights didn't make the first cut, but they may a find a place in your deck depending on playstyle.
2-drops
Accorder Paladin
Aggressively costed for a knight,...

History
Long before Wizards sought to make every creature type a tribe, knights were a favored class in Magic. Black...
Thanks Wizards. Archive Trap is exactly the card I was looking for. I just hope this doesn't become a money rare like Glimpse the Unthinkable.
I'm glad to hear that. With this being the "lands block" could we also get Mark to reprint Allied fetchlands in Worldwake? :laugh:
Reflecting Pool is a big hit in standard and Allied fetchlands...
Weren't the Ravinca lands released over the course of the block? With the introduction of each guild? I agree, Wizards should print the entire cycle in one set. Better yet they should reprint all...
I'm glad Wizards is printing new fetchlands. The new lands will provide a good point of entry to players who don't currently own fetchlands. It'll also end the practice of using a fetchland for...
I believe this card will be played and Goblin decks will see a resurgence.
When you can go:
Instigator -> Goblin Matron -> Siege Gang Commander
Instigator -> Goblin Ringleader ->...
I wrote my own letter to Wizards today reflecting on the changes in M10. A decade from now I too hope to look back at my words and realize how wrong I was and how much Wizards was in the right.
I agree with Team-Hero. What does Legacy give to competitive mill really? Gilded Drake? Fog Bank? Every deck already runs 4 Force of Will in Legacy.
You could port this deck to Extended and...
What a great idea! I love it!
I've had some success with Competitive Mill. However, this was in a standard environment and was more of a side event than tournament play. Here's what I can...
