I'm assuming your end goal here is to get as much power onto Geronimo or activate Richard as soon as possible. Note that Geronimo is based off of number of DKs in drop, while Richard is based off of number of UNIQUE DKs in drop. They also include any non-monsters for their count, provided they are DKs, as well. So, in addition to knightenergy, consider running other spells with the DK attribute in them (dragoslasher is a good side deck card). The DK impact is better because not only is it also a DK, you can attack the center relentlessly that turn, ignoring their side monsters, then destroy them with the impact, ruining their counteroffensive. Not only is Gargantua not a DK, you cannot play it until end game and you can't ignore the side monsters the whole game.

Maximilian may be weak, but he helps fuel the drop as you are sending a DK to the gauge for it to put into the drop later and do so without losing advantage. And since you like having DKs in the drop, Vlad Dracula can be an excellent finisher, since he'll likely have five or six crit by mid-game when focusing on getting as many DKs in drop as possible. Just note the he also count unique DKs, just like Richard.
