Knight Errant
Two power, two toughness, two mana, no text: this is the unit of currency white aggression has always been priced in. Every keyword and every stat bump gets measured against a body this plain, which is exactly why a card like this exists. It came from a starter product where the design brief excluded activated abilities, instant-speed tricks, and anything that touched the stack, leaving a body stripped down to nothing but the rate at the heart of white's curve. The result is a reference point rather than a deck card: the thing a designer reaches for when they want to know precisely how much a single evergreen keyword is worth by adding one to a body this legible and seeing what the cost will bear. Knight Errant carries no weight beyond that role, and the Knight typeline of the era never coalesced into anything it might have anchored. What it documents is the floor, the value against which flying, first strike, and vigilance all get their tax calculated.
