Lore

Why it matters

As a mythic creature, this card represents a centerpiece for deck construction, encouraging players to shift their strategy to prioritize high-toughness units. Its presence in this collection highlights the unique tactical challenge of turning defensive strength into a potent offensive force on the table.

Card face

What it does

Flying, vigilance

Whenever a creature you control with defender enters, draw a card.

Each creature you control with defender assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power and can attack as though it didn't have defender.
