3 multicoloured mana for a 3/3 first strike defender is actually pretty balanced.

Ah, Felon decks are so conditional these days.

Lol. Lesson here is don't shoot your Glock in the air while chasing a guy carrying an AR-15.

Eh you just gotta treat them like old school gobboswarm decks. Load you mama with George's pocketbook artifact, protect with paid da and virtue signal, then watch all the 1/1 soys mix with the pedo Peters.

Really it takes a geotus lion or st kyle to counter once the felon gets rolling. Sure you can get counters to nip it before it starts, but if you can't interrupt before t4 you gotta take it seriously

I dropped out of magic for a while, but I don't recall ever seeing a first strike defender. Cool concept, but can't imagine Boros ever wanting it.

He loses defender and gets +3/+1 when you play 1776.

Wall of Swords was in Alpha...

Isn't that flying defender?

You're right. Wall of Spears was the original first striker with defender.

Definitely a top-down design.

Wall of swords? I think that was forst strike.

I thought converted mana cost of 3 for a 3/3 would be break even. Any attributes (first strike, etc) on top of it make it that much better.

Then again, I haven't played MTG since Ice Age.

Yes but defender is a negative, should make it cost less. So it balances first strike.

That used to be the case, but power creep happened.

Yeah, but in today's game :p I remember when White Knight was the standard for that sort of mana efficiency.

I just bought three white knights not long ago, figurines the woke WoC would ban it.
