It also turns Dismember into -1/-1.
Even if they cast a real kill spell, you can counter with an instant that gives hexproof and get +6/+6 out of the exchange. This is crazy in pump decks; the resistance to toughness-based removal is just gravy.

I can see more than a few excellent uses for this card. I started playing MTG during Unlimited, way back when, and lost touch with the rules somewhere around the time Ice Age was incorporated. Just learned there's no more Mana Burn. Point: this question may seem foolish to ask, but if one were to cast more than one Wild Defiance, having multiples on the board, would the effects stack? I have two Wild Defiance out, later I throw down Groundbreaker and Berserk it. Does it get +6/+6?

How does this work with Redirect? Does the original target still get the bonus?

Underrated. This singlehandedly makes any form of removal that much harder, short of "destroy target creature".

Sweet my creature you just terrored / dark banished / swords to plowshares / path to exiled / condemned got +3/+3!!
granted, you can target your own stuff and make them bigger but that's of limited use, considering your oppenent will kill it in response!

Unfortunately those targeted spells will be kill spells...

Because Joint Assault isn't enough

Great card in green with all the pumping around and against burn too , deserve a general 4.5 , right now i give 5 to balance the rate .

Sideboard against red...maybe. That's about it. Seems a bit of a waste of a rare slot.
