What it does
First strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.)
Protection from black (This creature can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything black.)
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the Knight had just laid waste.

Where it came from
White Knight first appeared in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, representing the quintessential offensive creature for white decks. As the game evolved, it was reprinted in Fourth Edition in 1995 to maintain its availability in the core rotation. The design was intended to establish a color-specific identity for white magic, emphasizing protection through the keyword 'protection from black,' which mechanically reinforced the flavor of a holy warrior resisting dark forces.
The iconic artwork was illustrated by Daniel Gelon, a prolific early contributor to the game's visual identity. Gelon sought to evoke a classic, high-fantasy aesthetic that felt grounded yet heroic, utilizing a clean, deliberate style that became a hallmark of early Magic cards. The card was well-received by players for its efficiency and reliability, eventually becoming a staple of 'White Weenie' deck archetypes that dominated tournament play throughout the mid-1990s.
