Deck Challenge: Knights

Hi everyone =)

I'm looking for a deck with Knight Exemplar to make all the knights indestructible. (I think if i have two of them in play, all knights are indestructible? Even i.e. vs. Wrath of God?)

The deck should be played as "ramp", but i didn't really found hard-hitting Knights (Knight of the Reliquary or Juniper Order Ranger are the only one i found that can become very strong).

Furthermore, i had the idea of making the knights douple-hitting with lifelink (for healings).

It should be mentioned, that the deck should have 60 cards.

I gave it a try: Divine Crusade

What do you think?

don't really see the point of going "ramp" ..mono-white knights are dirt cheap

Thank you for the decks =)

Seras: I thought "ramp" means to build up creatures (start with weak ones, then pump them up :P - like Knight of the Reliquary). Sorry for using it wrong ^^'. Your deck is very intresting: I didn't think of using Wrath of God in my deck (i just thougth of when the opponent is using it xD)
Btw: Isn't Wrath of God better than Day of Judgment?

andykillerlain: Hmm... I don't like that deck. I'm feeling like "downgrading" my Knights if i use too much equipment (it seems, for me, more for soldiers :P)

aeaeou: That deck would be very funny to play ^^ - But there should be Knight of the Reliquary too, so you can sacrifice the Lands you got in througth Path to Exile and put an Token into Exile.

cwuwildcat: Not bad deck, but i don't like it :P

Here my updated deck: Divine Crusade

Ah I didn't think of that. Path to Exile the 1/1 tokens. then Sac the land from Path to Exile to buff Knight of the Reliquary. He will just keep on growing lol

Exactly :D
By the way, aren't Tokens destroyed when they get exiled?

I'll build a deck with that scepter and Path to Exile later, or when my deck suck :P

LoL, how annoying is that? Your opponent can search a land each turn, sacrifice it and Knight of the Reliquary is getting stronger and stronger, but you can't kill her xD - Even when you put her back to opponent's hand, she'll come out next turn again :P

The only downside: You need something like Privileged Position to make your Creatures immune to everything (with my actual deck i changed two True Conviction for it) - or are there cards which exile/put back to hand all creatures?

If a token is exiled/sac'd/destroyed it no longer exists when it leaves the playing field. I prefer Asceticism for the regen, but it doesn't cover all permanents. Also diggin the update to your deck.

i will say that the update to your build is very solid, however, i don't think the Emeria the Sky Ruin should be in there as you don't exactly have that many plains in the deck. You only have a total of 12 plains in the deck, and it needs 7 plains to work, so that means (if you drop a land every turn) its ability won't trigger until turn 9, assuming you have played a plains for 7 turns and then the sky ruin, which is slightly unlikely seeing as you only have 12 plains and you have forests in there as well.

Asceticism is very nice, but the Knights should be indestructible... So there is no need for the regeneration, furthermore: Privileged Position can be payed with plains to and protects True Conviction and Honor of the Pure (if you have two privileged positions in play, everything is hexproof) ;)

[QUOTE=aeaeou]I see what your saying now. Took me a second xD[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry for my english ^^'

The idea behind "Emeria, Sky Ruin" is as following: i'll try to save up 7 (or 8) plains for that, the others are sacrificed (btw. evolving wilds should buff Knight of the Reliquary too ;D), so i can buff her at least with +10/+10. The Sky Ruin is for longer games ^^

The strategy with the deck: Defense until i have some Knights and two Knight Exemplars in play, then a Wrath of God will pop up and kill everything (but not my knights ^^) and now attack with all my creatures and finish the opponent off in only one cataclysmic attack. :P

[QUOTE]Heres the update: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=300813[/QUOTE]

WOW! I'll try that deck as soon as possible (it looks great! :D)
Muaha, that will be sooo funny games with these cards ^^
only two things: what about Evolving Wilds? And wouldn't it be better to change two path to exile with two more Honor of the Pure (gives +1/+1 to all knights)

Since most cards have exalted, just attack wth one creature at a time. Plus they will constantly be getting +1/+1's and eventually Double Strike and Lifelink. What about sideboarding 2 Path to Exiles for 2 Back to Nature? Just switch the amount of each as needed for each deck you go up against.

Evolving Wilds would help boost Knight of the Reliquary and let you shuffle so I don't see it as a bad choice at all.

Yes right ^^
Ah the Sidedeck is still avaiable :D

Do you know that it is possible to exile all creatures or give them back to opponents hand? I'm asking because that would be the only way to fu** my knights up... (it's not "destroy" nor "target creature")

Maybe Sudden Disappearance or False Prophet?

Global effects cannot destroy because they are indestructible.
Global effects should be able to get through to exile because they don't target.

[QUOTE=aeaeou]Global effects can still get through to exile all or something like that. But global effects cannot get through to destroy because they are indestructible. Maybe Sudden Disappearance or False Prophet?[/QUOTE]

Yes, that's what i mean (see Apocalypse)

So i would need "Protect from X"? Otherwise... i have there a Iona, Shield of Emeria somewhere :P (little bit too much cmc...)

Or are there cards which prevent your creatures from beeing affected by global-effects? (hmm... that would remove true conviction, right?)

oh, i could put Brave the Elements in the sideboard ;P

edit: "Protection" doesn't prevent cards from beeing exiled... (source: mtgsalvation)

Is there anything that protects my creatures from beeing exiled? or bringing them back?

But with emeria you are assumming two things:

1. That you whill get to 8 lands (all plains) by turn 8 whuch is very unlikely with 22 lands

2. That your.Knight of the Reliquary will stay on the field for an extended period of time, which again is quite unlikely in the current build of the deck, the only protection you have.for.your creatures is the knight exemplar, which doegnt keep your opponent from exiling your creatures, which is quite common outside of standard play.

hmm, yeah. Iona is too expensive to play in this deck ^.^'

btw: i don't plan to buff the reliquary so much (perhaps +6/6 or something - with lifelink and double-strike that should keep me alive easily)

what do you suggest against exile?

Thank you a lot for helping :3

Play Chalice of the Void?

Nice one :D

That i got it right: if i play chalice with 2 plains, i only can counter spells with cmc=2? (and i can't change it?)

Great Idea:D
I took into consideration and created this. I use a lot of +1/+1 counters in this deck. Like using gavony township which I personnally think is tied for the best standard add one colorless mana to your mana pool land. Tied with inkmoth nexus. This is what I have.

You could always manipulate its counters with Power Conduit or Energy Chamber. Then you would have a counter spell for virtually every card, and its only going to cost you 2 mana. Just play the Chalice for 0 then play the Power Conduit or Energy Chamber to change the counters from 0 to what ever you need.

This is mine, Pretty rampy, hits hard and fast. The knight exemplars make each other indestructible.

It's really sad that some peoples here exploit every chance of messing things up... Just posting one link from a tool for my gf and me, some days later around 100 cards and severall decks are deleted... My gf was entering them for multiple days and weeks, but one of you thought "it'll be funny to delete them"...

Faith in humanity destroyed...

Thank you very much you little babies!
