It would be nice if the flavor text was still there, but the eye-popping awesome that is the artwork makes up for it as far as I'm concerned. He's pretty much a must-have for any Black deck, given his really low mana cost and the fact that he's really useful against any colour, and absolutely brutal against White.

now with all the endless amount of white creature removal (yes I don't know how it happened) this guy was needed. once the white exile mania dies down they'll put BK back to retirement

I don't understand why he's rated so high... There have been many better 2-mana drops for black aggro,e.g. Bitterblossom, Nantuko Shade, Dark Confidant. He was good in 1996 was but now he's pretty much obsolete, just like Hypnotic Specter

I feel like the art is missing something... shady or smokey or something. More like blood knight. But otherwise its uncommon worthy

I love how unlike with some of the origional versions of him, it states he's a 'HUMAN' type creature aswell as 'Knight'.
I love oldies... Just can't believe how many times he's been reprinted already LOL. Lol, guess it's true, 'only the good die young', he's too evil to just disapear from type two anytime soon lol.

Very comparable to Hand of Cruelty. 2/2 for 2 mana is basic enough. With first strike he's pretty good. With protection from white he's a perfect cheap fighter. Good addition to any deck that needs some cheapos to protect with until the big baddies get tossed down.

An oldy but a goody. Best 2 drop in black. Eat your heart out Path, Journey, and O-Ring.

Its awesome even if you arent playing against white, i mean 2cmc for 2/2 with first strike is great on its own.
Great art, the old one was nice too.
they should do a cycle of these
BLACK VS WHITE (already have them)
RED VS BLUE
GREEN VS ARTIFACTS
Really it would be a nice cycle to complete.

My only complaint is that the reminder text replaced his amazing flavor text.

It went from having flavor text to a wall of text.

White had its knight combo completed: Silver Knight and White Knight have protection from Red and Black respectively. White's enemy colors. Black is missing a pro-green knight, perhaps Ebony Knight, Gray Knight, or something likewise. Red has Blood Knight, the opposite of Silver Knight with pro white, but has no pro-blue knight. Green and Blue got shafted and have no knights, but that's because they'd be quite out of flavor. Until we see heavy human tribal in a setting that would permit knights, I don't expect to see those last two colors. Also, Red Knight would have to be the pro-blue one, which means Blue Knight would be the pro-red one. This means blue's pro-green would likely be Azure Knight or Sapphire Knight. An artifact knight with a unique form of protection would be icing on the megacycle cake; protection from Instants and sorceries, maybe. Or a "can't be countered" clause.

Not very happy with this version as it lost the great flavor text. The art is definitely better than 5th editions eyesore but not quite match to the classic version.
As a card he's as good as ever.
Like Doaj, I wouldn't mind seeing the knights cycle complete. It wouldn't be so bad or out of place for Green & Blue, both have plenty of Humans and both had knights already at Mirage block, remember?
