The day will come.
A day of honor; and glory; and destiny.
The day I meet my foe on the field of battle.
He has eluded me. Where I have searched for him, he has not been found. Where I have pursued him, he has vanished. Where I have sought to block him, he has evaded.
But there will be a day. This I promise.
I will meet my rival — the White Knight — and only one of us will remain standing.
It will be glorious.
Why does he elude me so? Is he a coward? I think not. It is said that he is my equal, in every respect. It only weakens ourselves to dismiss our foes as cowardly. As I am brave, surely he must be brave. As I am strong, surely he must be strong. As I have skill in battle, surely he must have skill in battle.
And yet, as I seek to meet him on the battlefield, I am thwarted at every turn.
It is as if some mysterious force has delayed our meeting.
While destiny awaits, I have a secret to tell you.
Though he may be as brave as I, and as skilled, there is one thing he cannot know. He cannot know — I am protected.
The darkest magicks, laid upon my armor, my weapons and indeed my very soul, protect me from one such as him. He will find honor when he faces me. But he will not find victory. Victory will be mine alone.
He cannot possibly suspect the power of the darkness that enchants my very being.
Can you imagine such a fate? A foe, so strong, so skilled, and yet completely unsuspecting of the powerful enchantments that protect his enemy!
What tragic irony.
Many have said that I should fight his comrade, the Silver Knight. But he is not my eternal foe. There is no destiny in such a battle.
But against the White Knight, I shall meet destiny. I shall glimpse eternity! Our battle is fated! It is written in the stars. It must happen.
I have but to wait now. Soon — it must be soon — these two deadly enemies will meet, at last. Where he goes, I will move to block him. Where I go, so shall he. And at last, our swords shall clash.
I have but to wait.
I have but to wait …

“Oh nevermind, there he goes. Looks like someone just got edicted.”
The only way you can attain your dreams is through Humility.
May I suggest, sir Black Knight, you ask a blue mage to seek out your foe? Preferably one skilled in the art of Sleight of Mind. Why, you ask? It would surely speed the advent of your day of destiny.
Just rent an Arena for a day, and the two can have their long-awaited duel. It just costs 3 mana, after all. Though admittedly, I don’t know how much is a Knight’s salary.
“He cannot know — I am protected.”
Man, black will do anything to win…
Settle things once and for all with a Rivals’ Duel!
Alas, they can not have a Rivals’ Duel because they are both knights!
If you’re playing Magic-gi-oh you can play Last Turn and they… tie? dunno.
