The Skeleton Knight

The Skeleton Knight is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Fixed bugs

 * Prior to Patch 4.0.0.10833 (LoE patch), if your hand had 9 cards, you had Baron Rivendare on the field and The Skeleton Knight's Deathrattle won the Joust both times, The Skeleton Knight would discard himself. This happened because the check for max hand size is done when The Skeleton Knight moves from the hand back into the hand, without discounting The Skeleton Knight himself.

Strategy
Most likely only good in very heavy control decks due to the Joust effect and the card advantage the effect generates.
