It's a cool card, but 3 mana is a lot to ask for. Sure, it helps you not overcommit if 3 mana for 3 dmg is a good exchange. And threat of activation is real, although the benefit is just one damage. I'm pretty low on this card and have no intention of testing it. Curious if it overperforms for those who decide to. TBH I would rather play the new 1/1 deathtouch lifelink creature for B.
Not in a black aggro deck where Ebon Legion would be played.
This card is better compared to Goblin Baneret which did not perform well in my Cube. Both cards are 1 powered 1 drops that make +1/+1 counters and have a pump ability. The advantage that the knight brings is that it can make the counters without the help of another creature or possibly without even attacking. The question is how hard is it to get the counters going. If it just got +1/+1 every turn the card would be completely busted while the floor of zero counters is terrible. I'm intrigued enough to test it over carnophage which is really just not a good card but run out of necessity.
I like this card quite a bit. It's a nearly unblockable one drop with a lot of play to it. I especially like that he can grow bigger even without sinking mana into it.
