Knight of New Benalia is a 3/1 vigilance Human Knight for one white mana — the stat line alone clears the bar for aggressive white strategies. In Jasmine Boreal of the Seven builds specifically, it doubles as a cheap generic creature that quietly satisfies the colorless-matters text without competing for resources.

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Knight of New Benalia is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — wide coverage for a bulk common. In Pauper it's a genuine consideration for white aggro, where a 3/1 vigilance for one is above rate and the Human and Knight types both matter for tribal synergies. In Modern and Pioneer it's outclassed by creatures that staple more text onto the same mana cost, so it only shows up in dedicated Knight tribal shells. Commander is the softest landing — singleton format rarely needs a vanilla beater this small — but Jasmine Boreal of the Seven lists are the clear exception, where the low cost and creature type carry real weight.
