Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The beautiful thing about this deck is that it
sticks to its bizarre deckbuilding constraint while remaining not only
functional, but actually synergistic. Keeper of the Light works very
well with Reckless Spite, turning it into an almost Well-Considered
Spite. The more important “combo” is Crusading Knight and Blanket of
Night, which, coincidentally, I mentioned in passing while discussing a
Nightcreep deck a few weeks ago. Leshrac's Rite is also very useful when
every land in play is a Swamp, although it doesn't help Crusading Knight
and Spirit of the Night due to their Protection from Black.
Now, there could be other cards in there, for sure.
White Knight and Silver Knight seem like good fits, as does Black Knight.
Bathe in Light might also be good. Personally, I like how Michael didn't
just make a Knight theme deck. That would be the easy way out. That's just
not what this column is about. (I promise that that will be the last pair
of rhyming sentences in the body of this article). |
