Mirror entity, Dakmor Salvage, and changeling hero are all bad. Nether traitor isn't very good either.

Why are you not playing Thoughtsieze? Also I really don't the that Darkness, Wrath, and Damnation are need in the side. You do need some way to deal with Artifacts/Enchantments in the side.

As a side note. Aggro-Control Decks can not win with out card advantage. You are only going to get card advantage with Haakon in play, Nameless Inversion, and a lot of mana.

If you added boggart harbinger you could use it to fetch mirror entity and changeling hero and then you could also add a one off bog hoodlums, that would make the deck from I've seen better (yes im the one person who voted that) to great.

Since you play black and white, wouldn't it be better to just use some good knights with Haakon than sub-par cards like Changeling Hero and Nether Traitor? Mirror Entity is a limited bomb and a strong card, but doesn't really fit in your deck - it likes multiple creatures and you have lots of sweepers. A Vivid+pool mana base could easily fix that mana, along with Urborg, which you should really have at least 2 of in your deck.

Korlash isn't good with 5 Swamps in the deck - even if you insert those 2+ Urborgs.

Although Trotsky1 was a bit overly sarcastic there, he is sadly right: you got nearly everything wrong. Try again.

I was just being stupid, I do that alot, suggesting adding boggart harbinger to all decks is gonna be my new thing. I mean good luck with the deck you should listen to some of the serious advice on the thread its not that bad.

maybe toss in 2 or so conspiracy and throw in some good non-knight creatures amid other knights, shapeshifters, nameless, etc. Idk just a thought.

I thought the only reason to play B/W Haakon was to play Flagstones of Trokair and Small Pox. The deck will get better with Eventide but I dont think it is strong enough right now

WOW... Normally Im really polite about bad lists... but I tried building a BW haakon deck with Inversion, Crib Swap, etc... But yeah... This is horrible in so manyways... Very few of the cards synergize other than the Crib Swap and Inversion you have in there...

I wanted to vote, but I realized that "this deck makes me want to kill myself", so I abstained.

6 methods of discarding Haakon (2 being beseech which is too slow) isn't enough.

+3 Thoughtseize (sometimes you target yourself)
+4 Small Pox
+X The new Pro Black+White knight from Eventide
+X Paladin En-Vec
