Tilonalli's Knight is a 2/3 for two mana that gains first strike whenever you attack with a red creature — solid stats with a conditional upside that costs nothing extra to turn on in any deck already swinging with red. It's a fine role-player in aggressive red builds, but it rarely rises above filler in Commander where board presence demands more than a modest beater.

Tilonalli's Knight is deep bulk in Commander — a 2/3 with situational first strike doesn't compete for slots when the format demands every card to either accelerate your game plan or answer threats. In Pauper it's at least in the right conversation, since commons-only aggressive red decks can make use of a two-drop that trades cleanly in combat, but even there it sits below more impactful red one- and two-drops. Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer have long since left Tilonalli's Knight behind; the competition at two mana is simply too dense for a card with no enters-the-battlefield effect and a trigger that requires additional attackers.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Tilonalli's Knight is pure bulk — it costs less than a sleeve and will stay there. Nothing in its design suggests a breakout role that would move the needle on price.
