A smaller war

[lamenting_llama]

Next is the war of Dragons and Knights, but the real question is, what side are you on?

I know this is not a huge thing, but I thought discussing it would be worthwhile. I personally am going Knights, but not because of Knight of the Reliquary which was allegedly one of the best cards in Shards. But because, well I'm not really sure about that, but one thing that does pull me into the Knights is the fact that they use a lot of white mana. I mostly play white, but I feel that white pumps out a bunch of small creatures, gains life, and then it takes forever for your opponent to kill you (Am I right?), at least that’s what happens to me.

Anyway back on track is the pros and cons of the Knights/Dragons.

Knights; they can get a lot of knights out, but lack power till you either level them up or get Knights out like Kinsbaile Cavalier, and Kabira Vindicator. Be sure to use your early advantage while you can or fire will reign down on you and your Knights. Use some of your instants earlier than others, like using Mighty Leap to fly over the chump blockers, or use Loxodon Warhammer to trample over them.

Dragons; lack speed when it comes to getting Dragons out, but when you do you get very powerful flying Dragons that can swing for massive blows. Again the drawback is slowness only with a few quick summon creatures that will most likely just chump block till you can get a Dragon. When you do get a Dragon out you can wipe Knights off the field and still do crippling blow to your opponents’ life when you swing with Mordant Dragon, and Kilnmouth Dragon.

Those were some of my thoughts. I'm very interested to hear yours.

Ok, ive seen the lists, and theres no way that the dragons can win this, as much as i love dragons (My EDH deck on MTGO is Scion of the Ur Dragon) I really wanted the dragon deck to be good, so i would have an incentive to get it other than for my friend who is building a knight deck.

There are far too few dragons in the deck to really call it a dragon deck, there are more goblins, which kind of annoys me a little. The knight deck, however, is superb, and definately worth getting, not to mention getting a foil Knight of the Reliquary, which will be great for the next extended season when it comes around.

Theres my 2 cents
