1) Introduction

I always had a soft touch for knights, so when i saw the shards block had so many different knights i went out to collect them all despite knowing they might not see serious play. As such i decided to form a casual Knight deck here.

Knight of Reliquary would be a bomb here, however lets keep this card for the competitive knights thread.

I'm aware Aether Vial is not cheap but every tribal deck should play it. the rest of the creatures should not cost more than $5-6 each. If it does, than it doesnt belong here.

Stoneforge Mystic is too pricey to be considered casual, and i'm not used to playing equipments without her. However i might add in Sword of Vengeance at a later stage after playtesting.

I'm also looking at using the cheaper Planeswalkers but it seems there is only Garruk Wildspeaker or Ajani Goldmane available at the moment.




2) Decklist



For the really budget conscious, we can take out the 4 Vials and replace them with Elvish Pioneer or other mana accelerant.

Knight of Infamy Feels sort of shoehorned into that list. I'd much rather run Student of Warfare Along with a white removal suite. It feels weird dipping into black for one creature and some mediocre removal.

Totally. Knight of Infamy was literally forced down this particular Knight list to be honest...:embarrass:

I can't deny Student of Warfare with the white removal suite is more efficient and effective. I actually had budget in mind when I made this list.

Card (cost of playset using magicinfo medium value)
Student of Warfare (USD12) Vs Knight of Infamy (USD1.20)
Swords to Plowshares (USD14) Vs Go for the Throat (USD5.20)

Duress and Go for the Throat are very budget and effective spells which is worth splashing for black.

It was for budget, exalted mechanic and perferences for M13 card reasons that I made this decklist.

Another budget exalted knights list I thought of - with many cards from recent expansions so it should be easier to form for newer players:

Basically I removed the black from the earlier list, and added in War Falcon in the place of Knight of Infamy. This give the deck more airborne threat, and a first turn War Falcon followed by an exalted knight is 3 damage to the good on the second turn.

Basilisk Collar and Sword of Vengeance helps to make the knights stronger against the bigger creatures it is expected to face up against later on. Deathtouch from Basilisk Collar combined with First strike on a Knight is also a formidable combination in creature combat.
