Deck overview

This is a focused Esper Knight tribal deck helmed by Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir, built around the Eminence ability that turns every attack into a rummage effect. The deck's core plan is to deploy a critical mass of Knights, leverage Sidar's combat damage trigger to reanimate Knights from the graveyard, and close out games through overwhelming combat damage backed by anthems, double strike, and evasion. The graveyard is a genuine second hand here, with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, Buried Alive, Entomb, and Knights' Charge forming a robust recursion package that can rebuild the board after wipes. The deck is not a combo deck; it wins through incremental combat advantage, with Kinsbaile Cavalier and Kwende, Pride of Femeref providing double strike to turn a wide board lethal. A dense interaction suite of free spells and counterspells keeps the path clear.
