rough translation Novice KnightW Creature — Human Knight (Uncommon)
Defender
As long as Novice Knight is enchanted or equipped, it may attack as though it didn't have defender. Even the greatest of heroes begins with nothing.
2/3
Quite the beating in limited, for an all-in strategy.
The flavor is weird: novice doesn't know how to attack but is quite the beating when defending?
I think the flavor is that he has the potential to be a great hero, but needs a catalyst to leave home and prove himself (Think Luke Skywalker slash every Campbellian hero).
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
