Thats brilliant, I already play Murmuring Bosk time to time, but never realized Inversion is a Treefolk. Silly me! I believe that Knight of the Reliquary is the best knight. It hives mana, grow very big, protects with Sejiri Steppe, helps with throwing Haakon in bin with Sanitarium, can exile GY with Bojuka Bog. I tried playing without it, but I didnt like it.
I was thinking about Mutavault as well, throwing away Gavony Township and Vault of the Archangel, but I feel like those two lands are so great with first strike creatures..
I will give you update on my Knight Abzan deck. Its not particularly competitive deck, but its fun. Graveyard hate is big weakness tho and people play it even maindeck nowdays...
But I change the list a lot, especially lands. Basically I need enough mana to cast Haakon + Inversion combo and also ways to put things in graveyard. I like playing 4 Haakons, but then you also get very awkward hands. You need throw-away creatures, Student of Warfare was terrible! Yet you need 1 drops for Vial ans such. Bodyguard is good, you can recast it with Haakon for W to target relevant creature.
Vial is nice because it lets you put Haakon straight in play, play instant Exemplar and such. There is just no fun in Knight without Vial.
You can kill things with Haakon or Aryel, get life with Meadowgrain and Bloodline tokens, draw cards (to your graveyard) with Grisly Salvage. That one also helps with land drops. Both Knight of the Reliquary and Stevard of Valeron produce (in a way) mana so you can play those inversions enough.
Anyone have some idea how to improve this strategy?
