Description
The Knights of Thorn is a distinctive creature card from the 2007 Magic: The Gathering Masters Edition set, designated as card number 19. This Common card represents the Human Knight type, bringing a classic fantasy archetype to the table. Designed with a mana cost of three generic mana and one white mana, it offers a balanced entry point for decks seeking sturdy defensive presence. As a four-mana-value creature, Knights of Thorn boasts a power and toughness of 2/2. Its strategic value lies in its unique abilities: protection from red and banding. The protection ability ensures safety against red-based threats, while banding allows for flexible combat maneuvers. This mechanic permits this card to attack in a band with other creatures that also have banding, and even up to one creature without it. When blocking or being blocked, the controller of the banding creatures decides how to divide the damage, offering tactical depth that appeals to players who enjoy strategic combat interactions. The inclusion of Knights of Thorn provides a nostalgic touch for veteran players and a clear example of the set's design philosophy. The card's identity as a white-aligned Human Knight makes it a recognizable piece for those building thematic collections or seeking to complete their Masters Edition inventory. Whether you are hunting for specific mechanics like banding or simply appreciating the lore of the Thornlands, this card remains a notable entry in the game's history. The straightforward yet impactful design of this Common card continues to resonate with fans of the trading card game.

Protection from red; banding (Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.)
"With a great cry, the goblin host broke and ran as the first wave of knights penetrated its ranks." —Tivadar of Thorn, History of the Goblin Wars
