Knight of Grace is a two-mana first striker that grows to 3/2 whenever any black permanent is on the battlefield — including your opponents' — and carries hexproof from black on top of that. At white-white for two, the cost is real, but the stat line and built-in protection make it a legitimate body rather than a placeholder.

In Commander, Knight of Grace is a fringe inclusion — it earns a slot specifically in Knight tribal builds led by commanders like Dion, Bahamut's Dominant, and nowhere else. The hexproof from black is incidental upside at most tables, but first strike on a two-drop is genuinely useful in combat math. In Pioneer and Modern, Knight of Grace saw play in white aggressive shells during its Standard tenure, but the card pool has since moved past it — it's too narrow for competitive non-rotating formats. Legacy and Vintage don't want a two-mana 2/1 with conditional upside when the bar for playability is so much higher.
