Deck Description

A mainly midrange deck that also has some pressure on early turns too.
The deck has various interactions which is explained below.

How to Play

Haakon lets you play any Knights cards from your graveyard.
Put Haakon into play via Entomb or Aether Vial.

Interactions follows as;
Haakon + Crip Swap/Nameless Inversion: Unlimited instant creature removal
Knight Exemplar+Nevinyrral's Disk : One sided mass removal which also get rid of artifacts and enchantments (only exemplar die since all your other creatures are indestructible)
Haakon + Entomb: Search your deck any Knight card to put it into graveyard then directly play it from your graveyard with Haakon = 1 mana instant Demonic Tutor
Mangara + Karakas: Repeatable permanent removal
Haakon + Karakas: You can save Haakon from getting exiled with Karakas

Against;

Monored: We have cheap and efficient creatures like Silver Knight and Student of Warfare for early turns already in main deck. After game 1 add True Believer and Fiendslayer Paladin. Especially Fiendslayer Paladin is very hard for monored to deal with and it has lifelink. Duress might be considered also.

Control: Add Duress, Grand Abolisher (if this resolves they can not counter a single thing so they force to spend a removal on it), Thalia and True Believer (Settle the Wreckage must be stopped). After side you will have 3 Gerrads Verdict and 3 Duress which is enough to make every control players game a nightmare. Also note that any creature you put into battlefield with Aether Vial can not be countered since you are not casting it.

Green Stomp: For creature based decks we are already in good shape. But you can add Mirran Crusader, protection from green sometimes help. If you are lucky to manage it, an unblockable Mirran equiped with Sword of Fire and Ice wins games all itself.

Overall
Deck's biggest weakness is graveyard hate. Unfortunately graveyard hate dont have very good answers. I included 3x Duress and 3 Gerrad's Verdict to prevent them to get played but you cant do much if they top deck it. Add True Believer (some of the graveyard hate cards work with target player) and Null Rod (stops some of the artifact graveyard hate cards Tormod's Crypt and Relic Progenitus).
