Springjack Knight
Creature — Kithkin Knight
Whenever this creature attacks, clash with an opponent. If you win, target creature gains double strike until end of turn. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on their choice of the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a greater mana value.)

Springjack Knight is a 2/2 first strike for three mana that makes a 0/1 Goat token on entry — playable rate, marginal impact. It earns a slot only in dedicated token or Goat-tribal shells; everywhere else it's outclassed by generically better three-drops.

In Commander, Springjack Knight is a niche include that needs a Goat-count payoff — something like Springjack Pasture — to justify the slot over staple three-drop creatures with broader utility. In Pauper, first strike on a 2/2 is passable at common, but the token rarely matters in that format's aggressive or tempo-driven metagame. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters; the rate is simply too low for those environments. Springjack Knight is best understood as a casual Commander card with a narrow tribal home.

Price Context
Current price
$0.18 bulk tier
At $0.18, Springjack Knight sits firmly in bulk territory. That price is stable by definition — there's no competitive demand to move it, and casual Goat-tribal interest isn't enough to push it out of the bulk bin.
