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
The White Knight card originally debuted in the Limited Edition Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as a staple of the white color identity. It quickly became a hallmark of the game, embodying the aggressive efficiency of the Plains-based decks of the era. The Collectors' Edition, released in late 1993, was a non-tournament-legal boxed set intended for collectors, featuring the same iconic art and mechanics as the original printing but with distinct gold-bordered backs to differentiate them from standard game pieces.
Daniel Gelon, a foundational illustrator for the early days of Magic: The Gathering, provided the artwork for the White Knight. His vision focused on the quintessential high-fantasy paladin, emphasizing the contrast of shining plate armor against a dark background to convey the creature's 'protection from black' mechanic. The card was well-received by players for its balance of low casting cost and powerful defensive capabilities, remaining a cornerstone of the game's early identity and visual aesthetic.
