Yay! I can finally get the playset I need for my zoo deck. Now if only they had reprinted the fetchlands....

The far superior original art returns.

So happy to see the original art return.
Knight of the Reliquary is hands down in my top 5 cards ever. Killer artwork, completely absurd ability, and so much finesse and flavor that I could just puke fetchlands.
She is good at so many things. Mana fixing is just the beginning. Lotus Cobra+Fetchlands+KOTR is perhaps one of the most beautiful and simple mana interactions available in all of MTG.
Block->tap to sack a land-bring out a Ghost Quarter->sack the Quarter and another land=KOTR suddenly becomes 3 power more formidable than before. Have a Lotus Cobra in play when all of this is going down? Even better.
Lands that enter the battlefield tapped are also no longer an issue. Wait until the end of your opponents turn to activate the Knight, grab a Celestial Colonade, untap and swing. Or wait until they are foolish enough to waste a Path or Bolt and fetch a Sejiri Steppe in response.
There are just so many fantastic ways to utilize KOTR that she keeps surprising everyone.

Is a mana-elf (well, human.. knight) in the early game, can mana-fix, can get you ANY land (Gaea's Cradle?), grows himself, and is a finisher in a T1 deck archtype in Legacy.
Fun times in casual play: Grab an Arena and go to town.

I love strong cards that you have to actually think about to unlock their potential.

I love this card, It has powered out so many easy wins in my various EDH decks, fetching me things like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Stripmine, and any of my various mana fixes

A rather under-rated card that you might consider for your knight deck: Fortitude.

My absolute favorite creature in Magic. Amazing all the way from its artwork to its natural synergy with the pace of a game.

Pretty good is an understatement.
