#Calvary charge upgrade
narrow crescent
sigiled sword of valeron
knights of the black rose
also in general you really want lots of cheap evasive knights to start using the looting effect
anything with menace, flying, unblockable etc
once you curve down you can also cut 2-3 lands/shift them into mdfcs
looking at your cards marked for upgrade
-for invasion to work, you'll definitely want more cheap knights and knight producers like circle of loyalty and council of four
-chromatic lantern is probably overkill for only a 3c deck
-while you're looking at wonder, i'd also suggest glory
-cephalid colisium doesn't really feel worth it to be taking 1 damge constantly
-haunted fengraf is mostly worse than memorial to folly, which gives colored mana and let's you pick what to return
-instead of scurrilous sentry, i'd recommend any of the good cheap knights out there like ayara's oathsworn, forsworn paladin, knight of dusk's shadow,

i like cephalid colloseam for the sac effect

First two cuts are my suggestions, but in general I think lowering the cost of your knights makes the deck feel way better

Changelijg outcast is also good
Basically you want stuff that can attack early game
upbeat canopy
Changelijg outcast is also good
i do have that somewhere
narrow crescent
3 turns of attacking basically a free cephalid activation lol
Buuuut anyway it seems like your list is basically cut down already give it a test
But in my experience it just felt clunky with so many knights costing 5+
upbeat canopy
waiting for the precon to come in the mail
narrow crescent
Basically people could see I was on the reanimating plan and would target sidar immediately
Which slowed me down a lot
And because my knights were all expensive, I had little to defend

it SHOULD be fine without him rn
narrow crescent
so your deck has 33 creatures
13 of which are 3cmc are or less
however, theres a handful that you don't really want to play on curve and be attacking with
like lilian's standard bearer, haakon, guardian of faith, mirror entity, black lance
and a few more you're pretty sad about playing early
upbeat canopy
and a few more you're pretty sad about playing early

narrow crescent
syr elenora is kinda meh
you're rarely going to have a big hand in this deck, especially since you don't have a lot of positive draw
i think vona the butcher is also too clunky
you don't have enough life gain to support paying 7
and you can't do cheeky stuff like block with it and then tap to remove something
i also don't like pull form tomorrow in a deck like this. i think you'd benefit from [[coastal piracy]] type cards

no but circle can get you knights without paying extra mana which is really good

it's just very unexciting and not on theme which is why i don't like it
