Legendary Creature — Human Knight
Double team If you control exactly two legendary permanents named Syr Joshua and Syr Saxon, the "legend rule" doesn't apply to them. Each other creature you control named Syr Joshua and Syr Saxon has battle cry.
“Copy your legend repeatedly and attack with an army of pumped Knights.”
Syr Joshua and Syr Saxon is a unique commander that rewards you for breaking the legend rule by controlling multiple copies of itself. Your core gameplan is to play or copy this creature repeatedly, then attack with an army of Joshuas and Saxons, each one triggering battle cry to pump your whole team. The deck wants to generate tokens or abuse copy effects to flood the board with these legendary creatures while keeping them all alive through the double-team ability.
You win by turning your army of Knights sideways for overwhelming combat damage. Since each copy of the duo has battle cry, even a small number of them creates a lethal pump effect. The deck naturally slots into token generation and copy effects—cards like Helm of the Host, Parallel Lives, and creature-copying spells work beautifully. You're essentially playing a go-wide strategy where every creature is the same legendary, so anthem effects and lord abilities snowball hard. It's straightforward but explosive once you hit critical mass.

Skip pricey tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use budget copies like Spellseeker or Beast Whisperer. Parallel Lives is expensive—try Doubling Season's cheaper cousin Doubling Cube or just lean harder on token producers.
