Legendary Creature — Human Knight
Eminence — Whenever you attack with one or more Knights, if Sidar Jabari is in the command zone or on the battlefield, draw a card, then discard a card. Flying, first strike Whenever Sidar Jabari deals combat damage to a player, return target Knight creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
“Knight reanimator swarm that draws and recycles threats.”
Sidar Jabari is a Knight-focused commander that rewards you for attacking with your Knight army. The eminence ability lets you loot (draw then discard) whenever you swing with any Knight, even if Sidar is in the command zone—giving you card selection and enabling your graveyard. Once Sidar connects in combat, you're reanimating Knights from your graveyard, quickly rebuilding your army and creating a resilient, recursive threat. The deck wins by assembling evasive Knights with first strike that pressure opponents while you accumulate resources and rebuild threats from your graveyard.
You'll want to load your deck with efficient Knights that push damage and protect you—creatures with evasion, protection, or utility. The looting engine feeds your graveyard with discard outlets and mill, creating a pipeline of Knights to reanimate. Cards that sacrifice Knights or reward you for creature deaths synergize perfectly, turning your graveyard into a second hand. Lean into flying Knights and effects that protect your board, since you're attacking every turn and need to close games before removal catches up.
