Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive tribal reanimator strategy piloted by Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir. From the very first turns, its Eminence ability provides continuous card filtering whenever Knights attack, filling the graveyard with high-impact creatures without spending mana. On turn 4, the commander enters the battlefield, immediately weaponizing combat damage to return discarded Knight lords directly into play for free. Game-ending threats like Herald of Hoofbeats and Kinsbaile Cavalier make the Knight army unblockable and grant double strike, while Vodalian Wave-Knight and Cathars' Crusade rapidly multiply power across the board. Resilient protection spells such as Guardian of Faith and Knight Exemplar ensure the board survives sweepers and removal. The deck consistently closes the game by turn 7 through massive evasive combat damage.
