“One Knight Stand” turns every game into a duel—Rafiq of the Many at the center, blade drawn and gleaming with buffs. This is classic Bant Voltron, built to suit up Rafiq himself and ride his double strike and exalted synergy straight to lethal commander damage.

The strategy is singular and ruthless: get Rafiq on the board, stack him with auras, equipment, and exalted triggers, then swing in alone to deal devastating blows—often enough to knock out opponents in one or two clean hits. Cards like Shield of the Oversoul, Spectra Ward, and Blackblade Reforged push his power into one-shot range, while Lightning Greaves, Champion's Helm, and counterspells keep him alive to do it again.

Ramp comes via mana dorks and rocks for a quick Rafiq drop, while a tight package of protection and board wipes clears the path. This deck doesn’t want a wide board or token army—it wants one gleaming knight, crashing in like a holy missile. Victory comes fast, sharp, and personal. It’s a one-knight stand your opponents won’t forget.
