Gameplay

Creature — Human Knight

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*

If a creature in combat has banding, its controller assigns damage for creatures blocking or blocked by it.

2008-10-01wotc

If a creature with banding attacks, it can team up with any number of other attacking creatures with banding (and up to one nonbanding creature) and attack as a unit called a "band." The band can be blocked by any creature that could block a single creature in the band. Blocking any creature in a band blocks the entire band. If a creature with banding is blocked, the attacking player chooses how the blockers' damage is assigned.

2008-10-01wotc

Creatures in the same band must all attack the same player or planeswalker.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from DRK — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #11 of *The Dark*, the set that shipped alongside the August 1994 The Dark release.

Card type: Creature — Human Knight, color identity white, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3}{W} (4 converted). Keyword abilities: Protection and Banding.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander, and Pauper. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #24,430 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
