Provenance

Where it came from

The Knight of Dawn was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Tempest was the first set in the Rath Cycle and was designed to emphasize strategic depth, introducing mechanics like buyback and shadow. The card reflects the set's high-fantasy aesthetic, which focused heavily on the conflict between the Weatherlight crew and the plane of Rath.

The artwork for the Knight of Dawn was created by illustrator Randy Elliott. His design features the traditional armored knight archetype prevalent in early Magic sets, utilizing a stark, heroic pose intended to communicate the card's protective abilities. Within the game's mechanics, the card was notable for its flexibility, allowing players to grant protection from a chosen color, making it a reliable utility creature for aggressive white-aligned decks of that era.
