While this commander is no slouch, it’s going to be a much slower time due to its higher cost and more finicky abilities. So, if you’re looking to slow the deck down a tad to play with more casual friends, swap the commander for Elenda and Azor. Not having to have your commander on the field to get its abilities at times feels like playing on easy mode. Honestly, the deck is strong enough that it makes a case for why they abandoned Eminence for so long. But like I said, this is typical of a precon, and I’m just nitpicking at this point. 12 out of the 39 lands won’t give you mana on the turn they come in. In fact, the lands package might be my only complaint about this deck. The card advantage, while also filling the grave with Knights you can recur later, is flawless.īecause of how efficient the deck is, you barely feel the typical slowness caused by the precon manabase. And Sidar is a phenomenal commander in this deck. The low average mana value really works in the deck’s favor, as you can just chip away at life totals immediately. I tested the deck multiple times and each time I had an engine going by turn three, four at the latest. And that’s just fine with Sidar.ĭang, it’s almost like these planes were designed specifically for this deck. And Unyaro makes Knights tokens when chaos ensues.Īnd last is The Caldaia, which gives our creatures Blitz, allowing them to get sacrificed at the end step. Paliano loves that our commander is looking to connect with opponents’ faces. This card is fantastic not only for Knight decks, but also for those decks running around that like anthem effects for all creature types. We haven’t seen this keyword, outside of reprints and Un-sets, since Portal Three Kingdoms almost 25 years ago. It’s Herald of Hoofbeats, which gives your Knights none other than Horsemanship. Time for the best part of precons: new cards! And we’re starting off by looking at the coolest throwback in the history of throwbacks (throwbacks, as everyone knows, were invented in 1997). Corpse Knight hits them whenever a creature enters our battlefield, while Knights’ Charge brings the hurt whenever we attack. How about Syr Konrad, the Grim, one of the best uncommon legends ever printed? Old Konnie hits your opponents whenever a creature card goes to your graveyard, which is exactly what’s gonna happen with Sidar’s looting ability. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Xerex Strobe-Knight, Aryel, Knight of Windgrace, Hero of Bladehold, and more are all here to give you a burgeoning, unstoppable army.īefore you go thinking aggro is all this deck does, let me tell you about the other ways we’re hurting our opponents. ĭespite having 32 creatures in the deck, and some powerful recursion tools, the deck still wants to supply you with ample ammunition in the form of tokens. But Sidar comes in clutch there as well with his damage trigger, not to mention other recursion cards like Haakon, Stromgald Scourge and Knights’ Charge. Legion Lieutenant, Captivating Vampire, Cordial Vampire, Etchings of the Chosen, Cathar's Crusade, Makindi Stampede.īlood Artist, Cruel Celebrant, Marauding Blight-Priest, Cliffhaven Vampire, Epicure of Blood, Malakir Bloodwitch, Sanctum Seeker, Bolas's Citadel, Gruesome Fate, damage from a far (3x).Now usually an all-out aggro deck in Commander falls apart very easily with a board wipe or two. Yahenni Undying Partisan, Viscera Seer, Woe Strider, Erebos Black-Hearted, Fallen Ideal, Etchings of the Chosen, Grafted Wargear, Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, Plumb the Forbidden, High Market, Phyrexian Tower.Ĭordial Vampire, Blade of the Bloodchief, Hero's Blade, Grafted Wargear, Fallen Ideal, Astarion's Thirst, targeted removal (5x), board wipes (3x), sacrifice outlets (9x).įallen Ideal, Rogue's Passage, Shizo Death's Storehouse, damage from a far (3x). Vizkopa Guildmage, Vito Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Defiant Bloodlord, Sanguine Bond. I've added some roles in line of our main strategy: Malakir Bloodwitch, Sanctum Seeker, Bolas's Citadel, Gruesome Fate, Astarion's Thirst. Veinwitch Coven, Kinzu of the Bleak Coven, Gift of Immortality, Volrath's Stronghold, Malakir Rebirth.įorerunner of the Legion, Diabolic Intent, Open the Armory, Steelshaper's Gift. Olivia's Wrath, Single Combat, Tragic Arrogance. Sol Ring, Wayfarer's Bauble, Arcane Signet, Orzhov Signet, Talisman of Hierarchy, Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, Sword of the Animist, Smothering Tithe, Command Beacon, Phyrexian Tower.Įrebos Black-Hearted, Species Specialist, Champion of Dusk, Crossway Troublemakers, Skullclamp (3x), Bolas's Citadel, Plumb the Forbidden, Body Count, Pact of the Serpent, Minions' Murmurs, War Room.Ĭaptivating Vampire, Erebos Black-Hearted, Anguished Unmaking, Oblation, Generous Gift, Astarion's Thirst, Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact, Martyr's Bond, Butcher of Malakir. Here are the cards I choose divided into the roles they have in the deck.
