Llanowar Knight is a 2/2 with protection from black for two mana — passable stats, one relevant keyword, and nothing else pushing it into competitive consideration. It's a Limited filler card that earns a slot in almost no Constructed or Commander deck.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Llanowar Knight is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but legal doesn't mean playable. In Commander, a 2/2 for two with protection from black is far below the power floor — every green deck has better two-drops. Pauper is the only format where Llanowar Knight could theoretically see play, and even there the common card pool offers stronger options at the same cost. Legacy and Vintage don't register it at all.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Llanowar Knight sits firmly in bulk territory and will stay there — protection from black on a vanilla-adjacent creature isn't a trait the market prices up. Buy it if you need it for a casual build, but don't expect the price to move in either direction.
