Description of deck
by Abe Sargent @ www.starcitygames.com
(quoted):
The deck uses Haakon to play Knights from the
graveyard. Remember that Haakon has to get played from your ‘Yard, not
from your hand. How do you set this up?
The first option is a Buried Alive. Grab Haakon,
Anger, and perhaps another Knight. Now play Haakon from your yard, and
the engine is in place.
Another way is to play Mercenary Knight as soon as you
can, and then discard Haakon when he comes into play. This Portal Knight
gives you a 4/4 body for three mana, and acts like a Hidden Horror only
easier to cast (2B as opposed to 1BB), more expensive, and he is a
knight for your deck’s theme.
The third way you can get Haakon into your yard is
through an activation of Rix Maadi. Make everyone discard, and there
goes Haakon. Then play Haakon, and again, your engine is in place.
As a reminder, in case you had forgotten, once Haakon
is in play you can play and replay Nameless Inversion, because it is a
knight due to being a changeling. Therefore, you can kill a lot of
opposing creatures.
The deck also has a lot of knights in it. Black
Knights, Knight of Stromgald, Kulrath Knight, Stromgald Crusaders,
Ashenmoor Liege, and the aforementioned Mercenary Knight. All of these
bring certain things to the table. Some are cheap two-drops that are
very efficient packages with which to fight. Others are larger and bring
useful abilities. Kulrath Knight flies and can take down annoying
creatures with its pseudo-Pacifism ability. Ashenmoor Liege is a lord
for all of your creatures, and it double pumps the Kulrath Knight.
Because you have Anger in your graveyard off Buried
Alive, Mercenary Knight, or Rix Maadi, as long as you control a
Mountain, say, through controlling a Badlands, all of you guys have
haste. That’s good stuff.
