This card was fun back when Visions was first printed. There were a lot of knights being played (especially in casual games), so killing someone else's knight was a surprisingly useful ability. As a small side-bonus, nothing trumps flanking like flanking.
I'm glad to see some other people appreciating Harold McNeill. Check out some of his non-Magic artwork while you're still online; it's fantastic.

I'd reconsider appreciating Harold McNeill, as an artist or person.
I met him in '95 at WotC's Artist's Caravan along with other Magic artists.
I expressed to him my enjoyment of his (I thought absurd) art for Invoke Prejudice. He lit up, and said I might be interested in some of his other art, then. He pulled out a couple artbooks filled with racist and Nazi-inspired art. Creeped out beyond belief, I sheepishly thanked him and got the hell away from that table as quick as I could.
There's a reason why he has done almost zero professional work for a long time.
His MySpace confirms he's a complete racist nutjob.

At the time this card came out, knights were (I believe) exclusively white and black. So this is a blue card that hoses its ally colors and not its enemy ones, and I always hated it for that. Seems like bad design to me.

I like cards like this one that have an effect that you think "well it would be good if there wasn't as much of a drawback" and then you read it again and say "wait, what?" It's a drawback that sometimes isn't. Flanking is pretty good too. Odd that it isn't in white though.
