Knight of Glory is a two-mana 2/1 with exalted and protection from black — a solid attacker in any deck that wants to swing one creature at a time. The protection clause does real work against black-heavy removal suites, but this card lives or dies by whether your commander rewards the exalted trigger.

Rafiq of the Many
Rafiq of the Many stacks exalted triggers, and Knight of Glory contributes one while staying alive through Doom Blade and friends — in a deck where a single swinging creature ends games, every exalted source counts.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Knight of Glory is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, though it sees almost no play outside Commander. In Legacy and Vintage the power ceiling is too high for a 2/1 with a conditional keyword to compete. In Commander it earns its slot specifically in exalted strategies — Rafiq of the Many lists run it at a 44% rate — because the protection from black dodges a wide removal suite and the trigger adds up in a zone where one big swinging creature is the game plan. Outside of exalted builds it's filler.

Price Context
Current price
$0.25 bulk tier
At $0.25, Knight of Glory is pure bulk — easy to pick up in any trade binder or bulk bin. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point don't appreciate, so grab it for the slot it fills and don't think twice about the cost.
