I'd always suggest Knight of Meadowgrain , they#re superb in any deck, pretty much.  Also, Paladin En-Vec can be well worth running, as they work well with Mirran Crusader - if you do include it, also try out Infiltration Lens , as the prot colours limits what they can block, so that you can force them into harder situations. With it's low cost and equip, the lens can also make the most of your two and three drop knights by using up spare mana.

Also, another approach would be Divine Reckoning , as it's a wrath that's doable with a single Knight Exemplar .

Hope that helps!

I've always liked B/W Knights myself.  Haakon, Stromgald Scourge (if you can cheat him into play or get him into your graveyard) sets you up for a lot of CA, and Nameless Inversion becomes a machione gun.

Knight of the White Orchid is a great one, and if you can afford even 1 Shockland, he can tutor it out into play for you.

Lens in pretty bad, I wouldn't run it.

Here's what I'd run as an ideal (ie: non-Bugdet B/W Knight deck)

3 White Knight
3 Silver Knight
4 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Knight of the White Orchid
4 Black Knight
3 Paladin en-Vec
3 Mirran Crusader
2 Haakon, Stromgald Scourge

4 Path to Exile
4 Nameless Inversion
4 Aether Vial

4 Godless Shrine
4 Fetid Heath
4 Marsh Flats
9 Plains
1 Swamp

The money is really in the manabase, to budget-fy it I'd probably go:
1 Godless Shrine
3 Orzhov Guildgate
3 Evolving Wilds
3 Terramophic Expanse
9 Plains
3 Swamp

After that, the only real money card is the Vial (which is a lot of money as far as most budget players go).  And there really is no good alterate choice for that (it's hard to beat free 2-drops), so I guess you could run a pair of Soul Foundry and up the Knight count by 2  (+1 Silver Knight and +1 White Knight).  Then instead of free creatures from your hand you just keep paying 2 to get more 2/2 first strike knight tokens.

If you want to stick with R/W Knights, Blood Knight seems like it deserves mentioning.

I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

I know its not a knight, but mono-white with low CMCs sounds like a job for sun titan - maybe just as a backup if your super-knights get killed off?

I would drop the lionheart maverick .  You will never really get to use the ability because it cost to much.  I believe this has been mentioned Kinsbaile Cavalier or my choice Knight-captain of Eos .  What i like about the knight-captain is it has a built in holy day in it.  Also it works great with Elspeth first ability.

I'm both instinctive and emotional. I value my own instincts and desires, and either ignore or crush anything that stands in my way; planning and foresight are unnecessary. At best, I'm determined and fierce; at worst, I'm headstrong and infantile.


How to autocard Show


Most important rule in autocarding.  Always make sure you spell the card correctly.
Single Card
[*c]Forest[*/c] minus * = Forest

Deck
[*deck]
16 Forest
2 strip mine
[*/deck]

minus * =
16 x Forest
2 x strip mine


Card Nicknames
[*c=Wrath of God]WoG[*/c] minus the * = WoG

Here is a deck that I've put together and it does very well. I think that mono white is the best way to go both because of the color intensive two-drops and it's easier on the budget (No need for shocklands and such).

Land: 22
22 Plains

Creatures: 23
4 Knight Exemplar
4 Hero of Bladehold A little pricy, but well worth it
4 Mirran Crusader
4 Student of Warfare A thousand times better than Lionheart Maverick
2 Silver Knight Fun against any red deck
3 Accorder Paladin

Other Spells
4 Armored Ascension
2 True Conviction A great thing to top out at
4 Oblivion Ring
2 Honor of the Pure
3 Silence Great for races
2 Divine Reckoning

I switch out the Accorder Paladin s for either Leonin Skyhunter or White Knight / more Silver Knight s when necessary.
