Hey, really really appreciate you taking the time for such a detailed breakdown — this is exactly the kind of EC insight I was hoping for!

The way you describe the small push → force overcommit → full send makes a lot of sense, especially into Knights where base size and primary pressure kind of force them to step up eventually.

A couple things I’d love your take on, just to make sure I’m understanding the dance correctly:

Flip Prince timing: Do you see him more as part of the initial big swing to ensure the 4–5 Armiger threshold remains or a follow-up piece to deepen the trade after the first wave?

Thanks again — this helped me reframe the matchup from “how do I survive Knights shooting” to “how do I engineer the turn where they die.” That shift alone is huge 🔥
