Description
Released in 1993 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Collectors' Edition, the White Knight card (number 44) remains a staple for fans of early trading card game design. Illustrated by Daniel Gelon, this uncommon creature embodies the strategic simplicity and fantasy themes that defined the game's initial years. As a white mana creature, it costs two mana to cast and enters the battlefield as a 2/2 Human Knight, offering reliable board presence for aggressive or control-oriented decks alike. The card’s text box grants it two powerful defensive abilities: first strike, allowing it to deal combat damage before creatures without the ability, and protection from black, which prevents it from being blocked, targeted, or damaged by black sources. This combination makes the White Knight a resilient defender against common early-game threats. Collectors often seek this print for its historical significance within the Collectors' Edition subset, which features unique art and borders distinct from the base set. Whether you are building a nostalgic deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering collection, this card represents a key piece of the franchise's legacy and enduring appeal.

First strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Protection from black (This creature can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything black.)
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
