Knights of Dol Amroth is a five-mana 3/3 with protection from black and red that replaces itself only when it deals combat damage to a player — a fragile payoff stapled to an overcosted body. The ceiling is too low and the condition too narrow to justify the slot in any serious list.

| Format | Verdict |

Knights of Dol Amroth is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees virtually no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, five mana for a 3/3 that draws a card on combat damage is well below rate — Coastal Piracy or Reconnaissance Mission do the same job without requiring a creature to connect. In Pauper, where the card is technically legal, efficient commons at this cost do far more than Knights of Dol Amroth, and the protection from black and red rarely matters enough to compensate. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in this effect at this cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Knights of Dol Amroth sits firmly in bulk territory, and that price is unlikely to move — demand is too low and the effect too replaceable to attract any upward pressure. Pick it up only if a very specific protection-from-black-and-red theme demands it; otherwise the slot and the dime are both better spent elsewhere.
