First time posting here, casual Magic player for years. I’m building a Tribal Knights deck (legacy ban/restricted list, 1/3rd of deck has to have the same creature type). I was hoping for some advice/suggestions. This is what I have so far:
As for the deck, I don't think the counterspells work well with knights since you're looking to tap out as an aggro deck. Knights don't really work well as a tempo deck since they aren't disrupting anything on their own, but if you really want to play cheap counters look into something like Spell Pierce. You are also playing too much non-creature spells in a creature deck, and knights have ton of two drop creatures you're not running.

Hello,

3 Riders of Gavony
2 Valiant Knight
2 Pentarch Paladin
Spells:16
2 Mana Tithe
3 Swords to Plowshares
3 Boomerang
3 Counterspell
2 Isochron Scepter
3 Call to the Kindred
Lands:24
4 Irrigated Farmland
2 Island
4 Nimbus Maze
6 Plains
4 Port Town
4 Prairie Stream
Sideboard:15
1 Brave the Sands
1 Always Watching
3 Radiant Purge
2 Felidar Umbra
2 Kinsbaile Cavalier
2 Sunscour
