Description
The White Knight card from Magic: The Gathering's 1993 Intl. Collectors' Edition stands as a foundational piece for early-era enthusiasts. Carrying the set code CEI and card number 44, this uncommon creature was illustrated by Daniel Gelon and remains a recognizable symbol of the game's initial print run. For collectors building a comprehensive library of the International Collectors' Edition, this card offers a distinct connection to the franchise's formative years. Mechanically, the card represents a versatile asset in the game's early history. As a Human Knight creature, it costs two white mana to cast. Its most notable attributes are its first strike ability and protection from black. First strike allows the creature to deal combat damage before opposing creatures without the ability, providing a tactical advantage in battles. The protection from black clause ensures it cannot be blocked, targeted, or damaged by black sources, effectively shielding it from one of the game's primary color enemies. This combination of defensive and offensive traits makes it a reliable unit in decks focused on white mana strategies. Flavor text accompanying the card describes a shimmering figure emerging from a swamp, hinting at a recent battle against dark forces. This narrative depth adds to the card's appeal beyond its mechanical utility. Whether you are a long-time player revisiting classic formats or a new collector exploring the history of Magic: The Gathering, the White Knight serves as an excellent entry point into the Intl. Collectors' Edition.

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.
