Oracle Text
Flying, lifelink
Whenever this creature or another creature you control enters, if that creature entered from a graveyard or you cast it from a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Breathless Knight is a deceptively efficient role-player for value-oriented Orzhov shells, especially graveyard recursion decks that want every reanimated body to snowball the board. As a 2/2 flyer with lifelink for three mana, it already stabilizes life totals while pressuring life in the air, but its real strength is the scaling counter engine: each creature you return from the graveyard, or cast from there, adds a counter to it, turning repeated recursion into a growing evasive threat. That makes it an excellent payoff in control or midrange decks built around cards like Unearth, Persist-style effects, self-mill, or sacrifice loops. In practice, pair it with cheap creatures that naturally die and return, so it grows without extra mana investment. Because the trigger cares about any creature you control entering from the graveyard, tokenless reanimation sequences can quickly make Breathless Knight a must-answer threat while buying time through lifelink.
