Deck discussion for modern something with knights

Mana Tithe does not really fit as this is as far from a control deck as you can get. If you worry about protecting your guys then run Brave the Elements as it can be used offensively as well.

Mirror Entity seems far too cute by far when you could use that slot for 1 more Elspeth or even better to load up on the powerhouse Knight of the Reliquary.

You are also going to need some maindeck graveyard hate in here to deal with Snaps and the like. I know they are not Knights but Dryad Millitant and/or Scavenging Ooze fits that bill and are damn good critters to boot.

Sejiri Steppe slows you down a bit and with an ability that is only sometimes useful and a complete dud if you are playing BtE. Maybe look into lands like Gavony Township, Ghost Quarter or other utility lands KotR can got get you.

I liked tithe as it is so unexpected and will be sidboarded out in game two for o-ring,but you're right i should use brave the Elements. The lands are something that i have to tinker with once i started testing it. Scavenging ooze is a nice Addition that would Fit in great as a two drop. About the mirror entity;i just liked the fact that you could pump a double striker for the kill with it so easily,and it being white is a nice combination with crusader. I also thought about ajani Main for the card advantage.
Thanks for the Feedback

Serra Avenger and Vial are best buddy's so drop the terrible Skyhunter for it. Gideon from either Origins or Zendikar would be significant upgrade to Honor. Go with CoCo over Chord and I think you might have a decent deck on your hands! Good work.

Well the terrible skyhunter is a knight,serra avenger isn't so i will keep the knight in the knight deck. I thought about Gideon but the it isn't a two drop and honor has mote value i think longterm. Collected compny is an awesome card no doinh but i feel coco and vial is an overkill, and chord let's me find specific creatures while coco is rather random. I Do appreciate your thoughts though i will try and test the coco

I get that Skyhunter is a knight but that is no reason to play a sub par critter over a premium one, especially when there is next to no benefit of it being a knight in the first place, (3 critters and 3 lands does not make a difference as there will be plenty of games you draw neither).
Chord in your deck is also litterally unplayable with it's tripple G cost and only 1/2 a dozen G sources, (just a heads up as you will quickly find that out yourself). There is nothing wrong with Honor in itself and it may well be the best option for you but a 2nd walker backing up your horde does seem really powerful...

I have reworked it and Gideon is a great addition. Also I cut sky knight as brave and rancor should give enough evasion. I'll test it a bit and will then make further changes.

It looks a lot smoother now, good work on the tweeking!
I've got one final thought that I think you need to test out:
Pull the Kithkin and Elf for 4 Thalia's Lieutenant. Should smooth out your curve even more and it looks like she would be nuts in this deck. I run her in my Bant Humans and she is an allstar!
