Creature — Human Knight MV 2

What it does

First strike

When this creature enters, if an opponent controls more lands than you, you may search your library for a Plains card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2008-10-01

    Knight of the White Orchid's triggered ability has an “intervening ‘if' clause.” That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless any one of your opponents controls more lands than you, and (2) the ability will do nothing if you control at least as many lands as each of your opponents by the time it resolves.

  • 2015-06-22

    The Plains you search for doesn't have to be basic. For example, you could put a Sacred Foundry onto the battlefield.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Knight of the White Orchid

11 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Knight of the White Orchid — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
