Historic - Gitrog-Knight of the Reliquary UPDATED

Midrange

A simple build around Knight of the Reliquaryimage

THE PLAN:
You win by attacking with a massive Knight of the Reliquaryimage or  Terravoreimage. Terravoreimage is more afficient, since it has trample.

The Gitrog Monsterimage is a sweet addition, since it helps getting lands into your graveyard and rewards using Knight.

Thalia, Guardian of Thrabenimage might not be worth it, but I think it won't interrupt you as much, since you can ramp with Paradise Druidimage and "ramp" with Knight of the Reliquaryimage. And a 2/1 with First Strike is an incredible afficient blocker in the early game.

2 Vraska Golgari Queen might work good, since they can get some lands in the graveyard. And the are removal...

REMOVAL:

4 Assassin's Trophyimage, 1 Maelstrom Pulseimage and 2 Find//Finality should do the job. 2 Shatter the Skyimage are the emergency plan for huge and/or flying creatures or just a massive board that you have to face against. Assassin's Trophyimage can also hit your opponents lands to keep Terravoreimage alive.

OTHER:

Crucible of Worldsimage is a great land recursion and works perfectly with The Gitrog Monsterimage.

Fall of the Thranimage adds some spice by filling up the graveyards with lands for a surprise attack.

MANA BASE:

Knight of the Reliquaryimage requires Forests and Plains, so most of the cards in the mana base are Plains and/or Forests.

Ghost Quarterimage is a nice addition, since it puts two lands in graveyards at the same time. You can even grow your Knight by 2 if you use it on your own lands.

Sideboard:

Virulent Plagueimage against Field of the Deadimage

Agonizing Remors serves as hand disruption and graveyard hate

Destiny Spinnerimage against Counterspells.

Knight of Autum for some lifegain and artifact or enchantment removal.

Lyra Dawnbringerimage against aggressive matchups.

Phyrexian Arenaimage for grindy matches.

Planar Cleansingimage against planeswalker-heavy and combo strategies.

MAYBE:

Underrealm lich reduces the risk to mill yourself out due to The Gitrog Monsterimage

 UPDATE:

Main -1 Gitrog +1 Shadder.

Side +2 Virulent Plague -2 Knight of Autum

I've played this deck a few of times now, and twice I got matched up against Field of the Dead decks. I was forced to sideboard a couple of Legion's Ends. This deck is awesome otherwise! Great build!
