Lore

Why it matters

This uncommon creature serves as a strategic engine for decks that rely on creatures entering the battlefield. Because its ability triggers whenever another creature you control enters the battlefield, it effectively turns simple summons into direct damage against your opponents.

Card face

What it does

Whenever another creature you control enters, each opponent loses 1 life.

"With each knight that rode out from the bone-white keep, the queen's soldiers felt their courage failing."— Krinnea, *Siege of the Bone Spire*

Provenance

Where it came from

Corpse Knight was released in 2019 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020. Designed to support graveyard-centric strategies, the card functions as an uncommon creature that rewards players for bringing creatures onto the battlefield, reflecting the set's thematic focus on death-triggered effects and necromantic synergy.

The artwork was commissioned from Karl Kopinski, a veteran fantasy illustrator known for his gritty, painterly style. Kopinski captured the unsettling nature of the character by emphasizing the decay and armor of the knight, effectively communicating the creature's role as a harbinger of undeath within the game's expansive visual lore.
