A “vanilla” card will have advantages against other cards if it has good flavor text. So basically, this challenge is on flavor text.

1st Entry
It's just dripping with flavor as it's casting cost is even Neapolitan. It's power and toughness are 13 instead of 31 backwards. It has no keywords, it's just really huge ...and evil hehe.

Provoke is a real keyword:

It's like targeting a creature when you attack.
And I know that deathtouch doesn't work with 0 power. That's why the creature is a pupil. You have to make her grow to reach her assassin potential. (Not to mention that otherwise a deathtouch provoke creature for two mana would be perhaps too good)
I went with a "vanilla creature." 2nd Entry.
It also fits into my Knight Pairing...

The two other stand for the weak, or strong, this Knight stands for No one, only balance.
