Arena Standard - Mardu Knights
Aggro
Sideboard strategies
Against small creature agro: in Venerated Loxodon
- out Conclave Tribunal
Against green stompy: in Despark
, Justice Strike
, Embereth Shieldbreaker
- out 1x Icon of Ancestory, 4x Skynight Vanguard, 1x Corpse Knight
(how many of each goes in depends on their particular stompy setup)
Against control: out Acclaimed Contender
, Conclave Tribunal, or Skynight Vanguard - In Midnight Reaper
, Embereth Shieldbreaker, Despark (exactly how many and what depends on their particular control)
RDW: in 1-2 Justice Strike - out 1-2 Icon of Ancestory
Simic Flash: in Justice Strike - out Acclaimed Contender
Mirror: in The Circle of Loyalty
- out Icon of Ancestory
Against anything that plays The Great Henge
or artifacts Embereth Shieldbreaker goes in.
Observations:
Mana base: every knight in the deck only cost 1 colored mana. 14 of all sources. This does a pretty good job of handling mana problems. Knights costing the same color twice are avoided (looking at you, Murderous Rider
)
The Circle of Loyalty : just worse than Icon of Ancestory almost always. Icon draws better knights, is easier to get out (believe it or not the double white really hurts often), and can be played in multiples. Most importantly can be played to restock when you're out of gas against control. The one downside is that Icon doesn’t buff your tokens.
Play style: first and foremost, you’re an agro deck that goes wide. Your goal is to pressure life totals quickly. This plays a lot like the old white weenie, only with some reload in your 3 drops.
Cards I’m not sure on: Skyknight Vanguard
. If I was gonna replace a card, he’s the one. Feel free to play with this slot.
