The Green Knight is one of the few Arthurian legends players asked us for after Throne of Eldraine, so it was high on our priority list for WOE. This story is also featured on the new art of Karmic Justice.

Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC), check out a green creature coming in Wilds of Eldraine with inspiration from Arthurian legend — Mosswood Dreadknight!
This two-mana 3/2 Human Knight with trample is a top-down design based off the Green Knight from Arthurian legend. [...]
Source 3 (Mosswood Dreadknight - "In Throne of Eldraine design, we made a Green Knight. [...] Zero people I talked to had heard of the Green Knight, and I talked to around 50 people. So, we ended up cutting it from the set. [...] When Throne of Eldraine came out, I was asked about the Green Knight. [...] So, when we returned to Eldraine, we were aware we needed to do the Green Knight.")
