Welcome to the KNIGHT Class
Join the ranks of the Knights of the Great Tsun Empire!
Fighting to advance into the Blood Sands, we are dedicated to preserving the lives of the Nomadic Hordes that threaten our illustrious borders! We know that should the Horde succeed in breaking through into Imperial Territory, our great Emperor would not hesitate to use a weapon of mass destruction to slaughter all involved, friend and foe alike.
Upon joining the Knight Class, you will play as Raynard St. John, Commander of the Imperial 4th Legion. While he may have honourable intentions, his Emperor (and those directly surrounding him) have more complex, (and less pure) motivations.
The Play Style of the KNIGHT.
The Knight occupies the colour BLUE on the Wheel, and is an aggressive deck that specializes in boosting its troops and de-buffing its enemies through the use of Counters. While other Classes have the occasional buff in the form of a +1/+1 raise in certain archetypes. The Knight is wholly centered around temporary and permanent + or - Counters.
Win conditions in the 'Imperial Aggression' Knight Deck.
The deck consists of a Primary win condition based around Raynards passive Ability. He is able to grant the Keyword 'Perception' to Creatures of the 'Soldier' Archetype that achieve a base Power of 4 or higher. The deck will include many Soldier Cards, and passive support for Soldiers in general.
Finding ways to increase their Power to 4, granting them Perception (The ability to be able to declare an attack without Tapping) which will protect them from being attacked in turn, and securing the victory through this method, is the primary win condition. However, it's not the ONLY path to victory Knight offers. Knights command some fearsome Beasts, that may not have much utility, but can offer strong Power and Defense values, if supported right.
Who makes their home in the Empire?
While the predominant species in the Empire is human, a number of other races make their home in the cities of Dawns Table, Ardens Cradle, and Lincolns Span. There are a few Elves and Dwarves, and a scattering of so called 'lesser races' around, mostly in the south of the Empire, but its army is mainly made up of Humans and Enochian Soldiers (with the occasional Giant)
The Enochians are an ancient race of winged beings that are the direct ancestors of the modern race of Angels. So often you'll find Angelic beings gracing the battlefield in the name of the Empire.
