Mirran Crusader

Knight Combat Limitation

Am I the only one that is disappointed that White Knight and Black Knight can never do battle? That Mirran Crusader and Phyrexian Crusader can never do battle?

It’s been brought up but it’s not an easy problem to rectify.

White's Weaknesses

Colours are defined by their weaknesses. What are White's weaknesses? They have fantastic small creatures (Thalia), midrange (Mirran Crusader, Restoration Angel), and fatties (Elesh Norn). They tend to have multiple board-control spells at a time (Terminus, DoJ, Planar Cleansing), and they can stop any kind of permanent (O-Ring's most common answer? Another O-Ring). They have Flying, First Strike, and Lifelink. They can play a slow control game or fast aggro equally well. Isn't W too versatile?

White’s reliance on the group while its strength is also its weakness. A single Pyroclasm can wipe out white’s entire army. Also, as I’ve explained, white’s reluctance to kill leaves it open to having the same threats return. White’s game is also very battlefield centric not allowing it to have tools that other colors get.
