Deck overview

This deck is an Esper Knight tribal strategy commanded by Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir, combining aggressive early curve plays with graveyard reanimation and card filtering. The deck leverages Sidar's Eminence ability from the command zone, looting on every Knight attack to sculpt hands and discard high-impact payoffs like Herald of Hoofbeats, Vodalian Wave-Knight, or Knight Exemplar. Once Sidar enters the battlefield, combat damage triggers immediate reanimation of these discarded threats directly into play. The deck scales rapidly using anthem effects, counter growth, and unblockable evasion to overwhelm opponents in combat while Knights' Charge and Syr Konrad, the Grim apply non-combat life loss. An efficient Esper interaction suite offers solid answers to opposing threats, while redundant protection spells and indestructible lords safeguard the board against board wipes.
