The power of Knights by Sean

Sean’s back with a new article for you all. Don’t forget to check out www.seanzhomepage.freeservers.com for my personal site and if you want send in your decks to be fixed in my informal deck garage feel free to email me.
This is an idea for a deck design you can’t exactly use yet. got this idea while cruising DM7FGD’s Look into the Future and came across Article #42 "Krazy Knights". By the way let me take this moment to say that DM7FGD is the man. Moving on. We should all know the Knight cards. Yugi uses them time and time again on the show. Anyway I decided to take a look at this little warrior family and build a deck around them.
Stengths: As a warrior deck, speed is pretty much taken for granted. However, it will be even greater here. This deck is like a speed machine. The basis of the deck will obviously be the three knights. I won’t detail the effects you can just look them up on DM7FGD’s article here: http://www.pojo.com/yu-gi-oh/FeaturedWriters/DM7FGD/2004/3-25.shtml. Individually, the knights are easy pickings. Why is why the whole deck supports them. Both King’s and Queen’s Knights should be run in threes. Jack’s Knights, since it’s a deadweight in your hand, should be limited to two here. Marauding Captain’s will help with the swarming effect and will provide protection for the knights. It’s also the reason that King’s Knight has to be Normal Summoned for its effect to activate. Imagine this scenario. You already have Queen’s Knight on the field when your turn starts. Summon Marauding Captain, use his effect to Special Summon King’s Knight, use his effect (if it allowed special summons for the Jack’s summoning to occur) to summon Jack’s Knight. Three monsters in one turn. Ouch. 6200 ATK. Call or Premature a Command Knight and it’s a friendly handshake with your opponent before moving on to the next round. As far as OTKs go, that ones relatively simple. So now you know why you have to Normal Summon King’s Knight to get the Jack-summoning effect. Command Knights will provide much needed power boosts that will be further augmented with Luminous Spark and The A. Forces. Shining Angel will help with the speed angle by bringing Queen’s Knight into play to prepare for the coming of King’s Knight and then Queen’s Knight. Breaker and Cyber Jar are your basic support mons to fall back on if your warriors start getting roasted. This deck will provide lots of speed, and a careless opponent could quickly find themself facing an army of souped-up Knights aimed at their life points. All the cards work together to support each other.
Weaknesses: This deck lacks a bit in ATK power. Note that this is a trait inherent to most Warrior decks. Warriors like to work together and get support. While it certainly works out well most of the time, those duels that it doesn’t get pretty ugly. Protecting Queen’s Knight will be essential in this deck. Pretty much the bulk of your primary strategy is resting on a 1500/1600 effectless monster. That could be a problem. *cough* understatement of the year *cough* Anyway here’s a Knights deck.
