"Hi, this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village and today we're going to discuss and show you the white color from Magic: the Gathering. Here we have a White Shield Crusader. And now we're going to discuss White Shield Crusader. White Shield Crusader is two white. Not a colorless, two white. You will see this a lot with white cards. It requires plains only because, once again, holiness likes to be dealt with just itself. What we have is a Human Knight, counts as a Human and a Knight. It's 2/1 for two, plus it has three abilities. You'll see this is a lot in the white deck. You will get a lot of free abilities. Right here it has protection from black, means it can't be dealt damage or be done anything to from a black source. No terrors, no, no loss of life, no nothing. No assassinations, nothing. Then you also have the ability if you pay a white whenever White Shield Crusader paid a white gains Flying until end of turn. Which means it's not flying, but it gains Flying by paying just one plains. Then you have pay two plains White Shield Crusader gets 1/ 0. This is also very rare because it's very rare that you see 1/ 0. It's usually 0/ 1 because, once again, white is all about defense. But here, you can pay this as many times as you want, two plains plus one, and you can do Flying. So for three plains you can have Flying and add an extra attack to this guy making him a 3/1 instead of a 2/1. Very powerful card. Staple. You'll see him all the time."
