Strategy
Knuckles the Echidna leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, building an artifact board and cashing it in. The list holds 18 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.10.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Goldspan Dragon and the rest of the 18 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Knuckles the Echidna on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Chaos Warp is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Professional Face-Breaker keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Blasphemous Act for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.10 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins through artifact payoffs and the damage or mana they produce.
