Overview:
A tribal Knight deck led by Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir that focuses on combat-based card advantage and recursion, utilizing Knight synergies to establish a strong board presence while maintaining card advantage through the commander's eminence ability.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, with the commander's eminence ability providing consistent card filtering whenever Knights attack. The primary gameplan involves establishing a board presence with efficient Knights while utilizing anthem effects and protection through cards like Knight Exemplar and The Circle of Loyalty. The commander's combat damage trigger allows for recursive value by returning fallen Knights to the battlefield.
The secondary strategy involves utilizing various Knight lords and combat enhancers to create an overwhelming board state. Cards like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Hero of Bladehold generate additional bodies, while Vanquisher's Banner and Herald's Horn provide card advantage and cost reduction. The deck can grind out longer games through its recursion elements and protection effects like Teferi's Protection.
Weaknesses:
- Heavily reliant on combat damage to win, making it vulnerable to fog effects and pillowfort strategies
- Limited interaction package makes it susceptible to combo decks
- Creature-heavy strategy is vulnerable to board wipes, though some recursion exists
- Mana base could be more optimized, potentially leading to color-fixing issues
Most Important Cards:
- Knight Exemplar
- Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
- Vanquisher's Banner
- Herald's Horn
- Teferi's Protection
- The Circle of Loyalty
- Hero of Bladehold
- Haakon, Stromgald Scourge
- Swords to Plowshares
- Sol Ring
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 4/10
Rating Justification:
This deck falls into the optimized casual category, sitting between 5.0-5.5 on the power scale. While it has strong tribal synergies and some resilience through recursion effects, it lacks the explosive starts and interaction suite needed for higher power levels. The deck can consistently execute its gameplan but typically won't threaten wins before turn 9-10, placing it firmly in the casual optimized category.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
The deck shows clear focus and optimization within its tribal strategy but lacks the fast mana and consistent interaction needed to compete at higher power levels. It's stronger than a typical precon due to its synergies and recursion elements but doesn't reach the efficiency needed for focused competitive play.
