Does anyone have an effective white/black knight deck or know good cards for one? I would like to build one, but I have no experience in using knights and what cards are good for this type of deck. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Stillmoon Cavalier (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=153037) and Black Knight (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=black%20knight) are two very good knights.

On the white side there is White Knight (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=white%20knight) and Paladin en-Vec (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=paladin%20en-vec)

I had a Type 2 Knight deck for a while, though it didn't play very well... I'm thinking about giving a legacy knight deck a try, by focusing on protection with Painter's servants (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=painter's%20servant).

Some knights with protection are Stromgald Crusdare (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=stromgald%20crusader), White Shield Crusader (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=white%20shield%20crusader), and Silver Knight (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=silver%20knight)

And if you like first/double strike, there is Knight of Meadowgrain (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=knight%20of%20meadowgrain) and Kinsbaile Cavalier (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Kinsbaile%20Cavalier)

There's plenty more out there, this is just to give you some ideas of where you can go with a knight deck. There is also plenty of flanking knights, if thats your thing.

a 2/2 for 2W first strike is good as is, but with the 3/3 attacking alone is pretty legit, pumping up any of your knights.

There are a lot of good knights at two CMC: Knight of Meadowgrain, Knight of the White Orchid, White Knight, Silver Knight, White Shield Crusader, and many black analogues of those knights. The problem is that you get sort of a mana hiccup with so many creatures at two mana: first turn- do nothing, second turn- knight, third turn- knight for two mana, one mana goes wasted... It gets even worse when you have mana costs of WW and BB fighting to be cast a the same spot on your mana curve.

To help this, play Aether Vial (http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=48146).
