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 debuted in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, created by Richard Garfield as a staple of the white color identity. It was designed to represent the prototypical soldier, utilizing a low mana cost and the iconic first strike keyword to establish white’s early-game board presence. Its inclusion in the 1998 Anthologies set served as a retrospective collection, bringing back some of the game's most influential and recognizable cards from its initial years to celebrate the evolution of the card pool.
The artwork for the original release was illustrated by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the game’s first art director. His vision focused on a classic fantasy aesthetic, utilizing high-contrast lighting to emphasize the knight’s gleaming armor and stoic resolve. The card was received as a cornerstone of aggressive white decks for years, highly valued for its protection from black, which gave it a unique tactical advantage against the dark-themed creatures that dominated the game’s early competitive environment.
