飛行，警戒每當一個具守軍異能的生物在你的操控下進戰場時，抽一張牌。每個由你操控且具守軍異能的生物皆依照其防禦力來分配戰鬥傷害，而不是依照力量；且能視同不具守軍異能地進行攻擊。

Rulings

(3/19/2021)
Arcades's last ability doesn't actually change any creature's power. It changes only the amount of combat damage it assigns. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values. For example, Rabid Bite won't cause a creature with defender to deal damage equal to its toughness.

If Arcades leaves the battlefield after a creature with defender has attacked, that creature remains an attacking creature, although it will assign damage equal to its power.
