Knight of Glory

Description

The Knight of Glory, designated as card number 21 in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering core set (M13), is a white Uncommon creature that embodies the disciplined nature of the Human Knight subtype. With a mana cost of {1}{W} and a mana value of 2, this two-drop creature offers immediate board presence for decks seeking early-game stability. Its stats of 2/1 provide a solid foundation for aggressive strategies, while its abilities grant it significant defensive utility against specific threats. The card’s most defining feature is its Protection from Black, a powerful static ability that prevents black sources from blocking, targeting, dealing damage to, or enchanting the Knight. This makes the creature particularly resilient in environments where black removal or combat tricks are prevalent. Complementing its defense is the Exalted ability, which triggers whenever a creature you control attacks alone, granting that creature +1/+1 until end of turn. This mechanic rewards single-creature attacks, making the Knight of Glory a valuable asset in decks built around protecting a single attacker or utilizing other Exalted synergies. As a foil version of this Uncommon card, the Knight of Glory offers collectors a shimmering alternative to the standard print run. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those building themed collections or seeking high-quality examples of M13 staples. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the balanced, interactive gameplay that Magic: The Gathering is known for, providing a fun and strategic experience in casual and constructed formats alike. For collectors, owning this card represents a tangible piece of the 2012 core set’s rich history, capturing the essence of white mana’s defensive and heroic themes.
