Basing on the current Throne of Eldraine card spoilers we are sure that tribal Knights will be one of the deck archetypes after the set becomes legal in Standard and today’s card preview is one I considered as one of the support cards in the deck. Check out the White Knight Acclaimed Contender.

A 3/3 for three mana is already an advantage in itself, but the bonus Scry for another Knight, Aura, or Equipment is a huge edge in getting your needed gas. It also helps in digging out your various shenanigans of one-of equipment if that is preferred in your build. In the typical Knight aggro build, you would already control another Knight as you cast this card on turn three. Be wary though as the opponent might respond with a removal spell to get rid of the other creature so your trigger would not get you a card.

I would have it as a playset in a purely Knight tribal build but if ever there is a variance of a Knight and equipment kind of deck, three copies would suffice. I will come up with a decklist once I get the time to scan the remaining spoilers from Throne of Eldraine.

That is a wrap for now, until the next blog post.
