Read again-- it's a 4/2 for 3W How often does
that happen? Especially in an environment where
Haakon is still legal and Knight decks are
already viable, I can't imagine this won't get
added in. Tell me you don't want to drop this
alongside Changeling Hero! To say nothing of the
fact that Shields and Blades of Velis Vel look
so good alongside it.

Four mana might be a little much for
constructed, as the "standard" cost for Knights
is two. But in casual (I mean casual duels, not
eight-hour chaos multiplayer) or limited, it's a
bomb. Think Crusading Knight; think Changeling
Titan. A fun card all around.

Double strike is a very powerful ability, and I
think 4 mana is a decent cost to pay for it. As
long as there are enough decent knights to build
a deck around, this will be good. The bad thing
about knights though is that most of the good
ones require heavy colour requirement, and so
this card loses some points due to that. In
standard, the colour requirement nerfs the deck
enough to make it bad. If more good knights come
out, then this card will certainly become
better.
In limited, it has double strike itself, and it
gives changelings double strike as well. A
double striking army is hard to kill, so it's
pretty good as long as you have enough stuff to
go with it. The only bad part is its frail body.
Wednesday's
card is Kinsbaile Cavalier. For 4 mana, you get
a 2/2 Kithkin Knight that gives other Knights
Double Strike. Aside from Knight of Meadowgrain
and a few other cards, there aren't a whole lot
of playable Kithkin Knights, but if you go back
just a block to Time Spiral, you'll get some
gems like Knight of the Holy Nimbus and Pentrach
Paladin just to name a few. Double strike I
think is one of the most powerful abilities and
is highly useful combined with flanking and
other abilities Knights have. If you want to try
a Tribal Knight deck, this guy would be a blast.
