Knight Tribal - Esper by user1408833

Format: Commander

Commander: Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir leads a midrange Knight-tribal deck that uses eminence to loot every combat and the commander's damage trigger to reanimate a Knight each turn. The primary plan is to curve into efficient Knights, build a wide recursive board, then pump it with anthems, double strike, and horsemanship to kill through combat. Secondary paths include a drain package with Knights' Charge and Corpse Knight, and a mass-reanimation finish via Haakon, Stromgald Scourge. The commander works from the command zone, but on the battlefield he becomes the value engine. There is no infinite combo; the deck wins by incremental advantage and combat.
