I really like this card, it has a lot of constructed potential, I think if a good deck builder gets on it.

I opened this in sealed deck on release day, but the problem is there aren't that many knights in M11 so I didn't have a chance to play it.

With this there are now 3 'Knight Lords' including Haakon, Stromgald Scourge and Kinsbaile Cavalier. Maybe it's time to make BW Knight deck.

Wait for Scars of Mirrodin set. I'm betting on alot of Cat Knights appearing.

To all the nay sayers out there who don't believe in this cards power in standard: You're retarded.
Knight Exemplar is a powerful card, a good card. When i play a card my opponent HAS to remove, i look at that as a good sign they're scared of what that card will do.
It is REALLY easy to get two of these on the field. But why stop there? Clone one, or better yet, Rite of Replication.
Also, so what if it dies? Play another one and drop Sun Titan.
I've already made a Bant colored knight deck using all the most efficient knights in standard, and i can drop a DoJ like Heath Ledger popped pills. And then, after i'm done wiping YOUR board, i'll swing for the win.
People who deny this cards power are simply jealous.
People who claim this cards over powered is probably right, but didn't RoE just come out? shouldn't we be used to this?
So fella's if you feel like ripping on a lord, go find Captivating Vampire and chew him out. Watch out for his 'tween' fans though.

On constructed: Right now there are 26 Knights, and while a lot of them are simply unplayable, the rest (Knight of the Reliquary) are really-to-quite good. The sad part is that this card demands heavy White, Reliquary needs Green, and the rest of the good knights playable with this head in the direction of black. Sorry, no BGW tri-land available. Post-Scars, however, the Knight population will have changed dramatically. No more multicolored knights from Alara block, and most likely a swell in white leonin and auriok knights. As of now it's impossible to say whether it will end up breaking into standard.
As for those of you who say that this card can just be removed itself, I remind you that that's one less removal spell that your opponent has in their grip to kill your real threats.
On limited: There're two other white knights, I think, and one black knight. Oftentimes, that means you won't be pumping anyone, but if you can support the double... (see all)

A Casual eternal format deck I've been working on:
Creatures:
4 Knight Exemplar
4 Kinsbaile Cavalier
4 Knight of Meadowgrain
4 Skyhunter Skirmisher
4 Caravan Escort
3 Knight of Dawn
3 Knight of the White Orchid
1 White Knight
1 Silver Knight
Spells:
4 Day of Judgement
4 Wrath of God
4 Oblivion Ring
Lands:
4 Emeria, the Sky Ruin
2 Mystifying Maze
14 Plains
Not entirely sure of the mana curve, but it seems like it'd be fun. Maybe trade out the Knight of the White Orchid for Path to Exile for more creature control, as well as Celestial Purge for focused hate.
What do you think? Comments are always welcome. Here's to casual Knight variants! :D

I love this card. The design of it, the artwork and the flavor of it all. It's all great.
But I feel like she really doesn't have enough company. There just won't be that many knights to choose from come October if you want to make a nice deck. Well, there might be just enough, but then all of the knight decks will have to look the same because there won't be much to choose from.
Anyway. It's an awesome card for casual play if not for tournament. Thumbs up from me.

Great card, but even if it sucked I would give it at least a 2.5 for the art!

And to make this even better, M2012 reprinted Worldslayer.
Two of these, or Clone it - or just stick a Darksteel Plate on Knight Exemplar - then see to it everything else is destroyed. Win.
