Was taking a look at the old list, and the Knights stuck out to me:
Card 2013 Ed. 1
Sir Michael 1
Sir Bailey 2
Dame Sylvia 3
Dame Molly 4
Dame Anna 5
Sir Destry 6
Dame Josephine 7
Sir Vander 8
Sir Martin 9
Dame Natalie 10
I have the feeling these are going to change completely, at least if everyone's caught on to Knight games by this point... -Stef- was right all along that Dame Natalie is a contender for the best (surprise surprise huh), and there is just no way Sir Destry is #6!
My list is: Destry > Natalie > Sylvia > Michael > Bailey > Molly > Anna > Martin > Vander > Josephine
Oh, I disagree with you, sort of. I think Sir Michael (Discard), Sir Destry (Draw), Sir Bailey (Cantrip), and Dame Molly (Actions) are pretty much a tie for first place. Destry and Michael, because their bonuses are good in a vacuum, and Molly and Bailey because they are the only nonterminal Knights, and intrinsically allow you to play other Knights, which is something you want to do.
Dame Anna, Dame Natalie, and and Dame Sylvia come next, roughly in that order, I would say. They are always fine, occasionally better or worse.
Sir Vander is in a tier by himself--a little worse than the girls but not as bad as Martin and Josephine.
Sir Martin is significantly worse than Vander. I guess occasionally he is the only source of extra buy, but you aren't going to hang onto him for long enough for it to matter. If he's on top, you can open with him, but that's often just a trap. He gives you no economy, meaning your opponent actually has a better shot of buying the next Knight, which is always going to be better than Martin unless it's...
Dame Josephine. The worst Knight by a landslide. She has to survive the game to get any sort of bonus. This just doesn't typically happen, and it's hardly worth it anyway.
