A Good Knight Out by ANTHO

Format: Commander

Commander: Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a focused Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir Knight tribal build that leverages the commander's eminence ability to draw and discard through combat, filling the graveyard for a strong reanimation subtheme. The primary game plan is to attack with Knights-buoyed by evasion from Herald of Hoofbeats and double strike from Kinsbaile Cavalier-while Sidar reanimates a Knight each combat. Token generators like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Hero of Bladehold quickly go wide, and finishers such as Moonshaker Cavalry and Akroma's Will turn the board lethal. The deck also includes robust recursion via Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, Patriarch's Bidding, and Knights' Charge. It has no infinite combos, relying entirely on combat inevitability and graveyard resilience.
