Despite Knight Exemplar being turned to black with Darkest Hour, the indestructability still transfers since it is not a targeted ability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-84055889956251444742010-08-02T18:46:32.265-04:002010-08-02T18:46:32.265-04:00I am trying to build this same deck.

I'm trying to keep it from having cards from the Alara block just so nothing cycles out in October.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-89786555853651962902010-08-01T03:55:08.134-04:002010-08-01T03:55:08.134-04:00Ran mono white with cloud crusader, and he's t...Ran mono white with cloud crusader, and he's trash. Don't bother with him. If you're running Honor of the Pure, just run Baneslayer. Right now I'm running:<br /><br />Creatures:<br />4x Knight Exemplar<br />4x White Knight<br />4x Knight of the White Orchid<br />3x Baneslayer Angel<br />3x Sun Titan<br /><br />Planeswalkers:<br />3x Ajani Goldmane<br /><br />Spells:<br />4x Path to Exile<br />4x Oblivion Ring<br />3x Martial Coup<br />4x Honor of the Pure<br />4x Brave the Elements<br /><br />Lands:<br />21 Plains<br /><br />SB:<br />3x Celestial Purge<br />3x Devout Lightcaster<br />3x Kor Firewalker<br />3x Rest for the Weary<br /><br />The reason why you don't run Cloud Crusader is because you don't get recursion from it with Sun Titan, so you might as well play Baneslayer. Sun Titan recurs al of your knights, O-rings, and HoP with this list, and I top 8-ed at my local out of 48. List needs modification.<br /><br />Notes about this deck:<br />List needs more work. Problems with it still are Eldrazi Ramp with All is Dust just destroys you. Valakut Ramp with Primeval Titan also destroys you.<br /><br />Good luck Knights!<br />:)Aacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-35484062669169271422010-07-29T15:27:35.209-04:002010-07-29T15:27:35.209-04:00Some other suggestions provided is to run black an...Some other suggestions provided is to run black and use Arrogant Bloodlord (4/4 for 1bb) or get Cloud Crusader (2/3 flyer for 2ww).CopySixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206685745254804789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-27929774678553700472010-07-29T14:03:49.245-04:002010-07-29T14:03:49.245-04:00Here's the Knight package I would run (taking ...Here's the Knight package I would run (taking into consideration that you've said you don't have Knight of the White Orchid):<br /><br />4 Student of Warfare<br />4 Sigiled Paladin <br />4 Knight Exemplar <br />4 Knotvine Paladin<br />4 Knight of the Reliquary<br />2 Steward of Valeron<br /><br />Stoneforger Mystic isn't a Knight, so I'd only run 2 of her so as not to dillute the tribal theme too much.<br /><br />That gives you 24 dudes, a good baseline for a white weenie style deck.<br /><br />For the Equipment package, I'd run just a single copy each of Behemoth Sledge the new Sword of Vengeance and Basilisk Collar.<br /><br />4x Honor the Pure is a must in this deck.<br /><br />You'll likely want some number of Path to Exile, Brave the Elements (a vastly underrated alpha-strike card), and some planeswalkers. I'd go with 1x Garruk and 2x Ajani Goldmane. I don't like Elspeth as much here, but she's not terrible in ANY deck.<br /><br />As for the Mana base, I'm sure you will manage, but if you can find room, try to squeeze in 1 or 2 Emeria, Sky Ruins and enough Plains to support it. <br /><br />Mark of Asylum and the Leyline are great anti-red / anti-Jund cards, but I'd put 'em in the board unless you REALLY don't think you can live without 'em game one. With a double-Exemplar draw, Jund can't touch your guys anyway, so the Mark might be overkill.<br /><br />Day of Judgement (seen in one of the photos) is probably not something you'd want as a dedicated Creature deck... if you find yourself being out-Creatured, your probably not going to win even with the Day.<br /><br />Best of luck to you, though, and let us know what the final list looks like!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-89860004390367145902010-07-29T13:23:55.173-04:002010-07-29T13:23:55.173-04:00i kinda agree, i actually like stewards but beside...i kinda agree, i actually like stewards but besides being a body he wont go far to help. unless you are also running knotvine, in which case the vig can help.<br /><br />i also concur with sword of vengence being really good. sigil of distinction isnt as good in this scenario because you have to hard cast it as opposed to using stoneforge. i say sword or sledge.<br /><br />i would also run the elspeth or 2, maybe ajani goldmane with knotvine.<br /><br />also im not sure what your meta is but unless its REALLY heavy with burn i wouldnt main mark. and just remember you only wanna protect your dudes till you get an exemplar or 2. <br /><br />Good luck and let us know how it goes!Xian T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328209537851427200.post-49431109775944768312010-07-29T10:17:19.013-04:002010-07-29T10:17:19.013-04:00I like the stone forge mystic in any aggro deck th...I like the stone forge mystic in any aggro deck that can fit her. You need to pick up that new Sword of Vengence. (I hope the next sword is called "out for justice").<br /><br />As I said on twitter I don't like Steward of Valeron because if you are casting it on turn two you already have a green mana and you have better two drops. I would only play if your goal is to get a turn three Rafiq. And in that case you might need to be playing birds or noble higherarch to get the mana right.<br /><br />Are you playing Elspeth? Don't you have a foil?Normhttp://blog.buymorecards.netnoreply@blogger.com
