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 was released in 1993 as part of the Limited Edition Alpha set, the inaugural print run of Magic: The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast. Created by game designer Richard Garfield, the card was intended to establish the mechanical identity of the white color mana, emphasizing protection and disciplined creature combat. Its inclusion in the base set provided players with a low-cost, efficient offensive threat that defined the aggressive strategies of early competitive play.
The card features iconic illustration by Christopher Rush, one of the most prolific artists during the game's formative years. Rush’s design utilizes a bold, high-contrast aesthetic that captures the stoic essence of the knightly archetype. Upon its release, the card was immediately noted for its 'protection from black' ability, which made it a formidable tool against the dominant black-aligned strategies of the era, cementing its status as a foundational element of the game’s early visual and mechanical history.
