Description
Released in 1995, the Black Knight from Magic: The Gathering’s Fourth Edition Foreign Black Border set remains a foundational piece for many collectors. Identified by the set code 4BB and card number 121, this creature card is printed in black border, distinguishing it from earlier international releases. The card features artwork by Jeff A. Menges and serves as a staple in the game’s early history. As a Human Knight with a mana cost of {B}{B}, the Black Knight brings a unique strategic profile to the table. It possesses first strike, allowing it to deal combat damage before creatures without this ability, and protection from white, which prevents it from being blocked, targeted, or damaged by white sources. This combination of abilities made it a versatile choice for decks built around the black color identity. The Black Knight, as an uncommon card, is a recognizable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a vintage set or seeking a specific card for gameplay, this 1995 release offers a tangible connection to the game’s early days.
