Knightly Valor lands a 2/2 vigilance creature and staples +2/+2 with vigilance onto an existing creature — all for five mana at sorcery speed. Outside of Eriette, the Beguiler builds that specifically want an Aura stapled to a token engine, the rate is too slow for competitive Commander tables.

Eriette, the Beguiler
Eriette, the Beguiler drains opponents equal to the number of Auras you control, so Knightly Valor does double duty — it's an Aura that also generates a creature body to enchant further, advancing both the enchantment count and the board presence Eriette needs to close games.

Knightly Valor is bulk-bin territory in every competitive format — five mana for a split effect that neither half would make a deck on its own is well below the bar for Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy. Pauper is its most plausible home, where the token plus pump on a single card can generate real two-for-one value at common rarity. In Commander, Knightly Valor earns consideration only in dedicated Aura or enchantment-matters builds where the Aura type is the point, not just the bonus.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Knightly Valor sits firmly in bulk territory and is unlikely to move without an unexpected reprint in a high-profile precon or a breakout Aura commander pushing demand. Picking up copies costs essentially nothing, but the ceiling is equally low.
