Mother of Runes is cheaper, but Mother of Runes isn't a 2/5 beatstick whose protection ability can be activated multiple times per turn -- I'd file Armored Guardian under "Cards With Painfully Generic Names" and "Potentially Not Awful, In Rare Cases"

This guy sums up the spirit of invasion.
Clearly a fun card for Commander format.

If the activation costs were {W}{W} and {U}{U}, it would be more playable. As it is, I think it still might be okay for EDH/Commander decks.

Man, Invasion was a weird set!
That aside, this is pretty average, and I wouldn't use it since it's so expensive.

This versus Eight-and-a-Half Tails:
Protection ability: essentially costs the same but is less color-intensive for Tails, while also protecting any permanent you control instead of just creatures. Advantage: Fox.
Stats/Efficiency: The kitsune's cheaper to cast, though it's a 2/2 instead of a 2/5. However, for the same amount of mana you could use to cast the Guardian, you can cast Eight-and-a-Half Tails and still have three mana open to protect him from removal (assuming you have {2}{W}{W}{W} available). I'd say the efficiency and resiliency trump having a bigger body. Advantage: fox.
Miscellaneous: The difference between shroud and Eight-and-a-Half Tails just giving protection to itself is negligible and should rarely come up. The legend rule isn't too relevant either as you would rarely be able to play two copies of the Guardian (would likely prevent you from using its abilities), and would rarely NEED to play two copies of Felllini Fox. Only if your opponent... (see all)

Weird that they have these abilities as they are, since shroud and protection are very similar...
