Tired. Missed it. 💤
If you're in Standard, why not go Humans/Angels instead?
Jester just got served, I'll go get my beatbox.
Let's see, low mana R/W standard. I'm blanking a bit on knights in standard, but there are sure lots of angels now. {Emancipation Angel} is a good start, 3 mana for a 3/3 flyer is pretty solid, and her ETB effect is a good way to remove -1 counters or untap a creature you attacked with.
{Gisela, blade of Goldnight} would be a perfect end-game bomb of course. Not very low mana cost though.
And if you're looking for a really stupid combo, you can always do the {Seraph Sanctuary} + {Restoration Angel} + 2 {Fiend Hunter}s nonsense.

Well, there human knights jester...
Just thought id reiderate(if thats how its spelled) im mostly looking for 2 card combos. I got the 2 soulbound knights that have first and double strike soulbound abilitys. Ive got about 5 human token producing cards. Some burn, like thunderous wrath and such. Im thinking about {Entreat the Angels} but i feel like it costs a bit much. Maybe put 1 in? Sigh... I feel like this could be a good deck but i just need the get all the filling in there for the 4 manaish range. Right now its alot of small an a few large. Anything for the gap would be nice.
Stonehorn Dignitary and Restoration Angel. Cloudshift works really well with the dignitary as well. The blinking can also remove your creatures from combat to protect them. Ideally Venser works best as he's a repeatable blink effect, but as you're not playing blue that doesn't really fit.

i did put a cloudshift in. I fount that if you use it as an instant on a soulbinding creature then sometimes you can suprise an opponet with a double strike when say you have a 3/3 flyer (no soulbound) they are attacking with a 4/4 flyer, i can blink one of my soulbounding knights to efff em' up!

We could go there if u wanted, however, keep in mind that i only have maybe 5 instants/ sorceries that wouldent be redundant if copied. So... Meh, not too useful, but a nice little combo to say the least.

Well, there human knights jester...
I'm aware of that, but there's no real cohesion from human knights in Standard. Humans are a supported tribe with {Kessig Malcontents} and {Vigilante Justice} in red.
The only knight I can think of is {Hanweir Lancer}...
In alphabetical order:
{Accorder Paladin}
{Fervent Cathar}
{Griffin Rider}
{Gryff Vanguard}
{Hanweir Lancer}
{Hero of Bladehold}
{Hero of Oxid Ridge}
{Mirran Crusader}
{Puresteel Paladin}
{Riders of Gavony}
{Silverblade Paladin}
So good cards, to be sure, but no real synergy. If you wanted to do it for flavor, that's another thing.
{Vigilante Justice}, {Thatcher Revolt}, {Accorder Paladin}, {Somberwald Vigilante}, {Fervent Cathar}... the list goes on.

Well, if you're running knights for flavor, it's always nice to run {Cathar's Crusade}. But combination-wise, you're not going to get a lot unless you just step back into plain ol' humans.
Hmmm, perhaps i should sub in red humans for the knights. I do see your point jester. I did buy the prebuilt R/W avacyn deck because it seemed to have alot of the cards that fit my deck. And it did. Everything u mentmioned is in it. I think il prob put in some of those red humans.

If your deck has a lot of humans in it, slide those {riders of gavony} in there. The 3/3 vigilance is good enough as it is, but the fact that he gives half or more of your deck protection from an entire creature type (potentially your opponent's whole deck) can sway a game in your favor big time.
{goldnight redeemer} {thatcher revolt}
