What it does
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

Where it came from
Knights of Thorn was released in 1994 as part of The Dark, the fourth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to explore a darker, more gothic thematic shift from the high fantasy of earlier releases, emphasizing folklore, horror tropes, and a grittier aesthetic that distinguished it from the core game's initial launch.
The card was illustrated by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic early artists in the game's history. His design for the Knights of Thorn leaned into the somber, brooding visual identity of the set, utilizing a distinct illustrative style that favored heavy atmosphere over hyper-realism. While the card is often remembered more for its rarity and its place in the early meta-game than for competitive dominance, it remains a nostalgic piece for those who collected during the mid-nineties expansion era.
