Stormwind Knight

Stormwind Knight is a neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Basic set.

Strategy
Due to its unusually large health pool and Charge capability, Stormwind Knight is especially suited for clearing low health opposing minions and surviving.

Because aggressive decks generally favor high damage Charge minions and midrange and control decks typically favor stronger defenses through class spells and Sen'jin Shieldmasta, Stormwind Knight is often overlooked in constructed play. Nevertheless, its unique functionality and strong synergy with Taunt-granting effects (i.e. Sunfury Protector, Defender of Argus, and several druid spells) make for a decent utility pick within the Arena.

With Charge and high Health, Stormwind Knight makes a good target for the priest's Inner Fire and Divine Spirit combo, allowing for substantial burst damage.
