Works extremely well with vigilance.

5/5 just for the flavor text.

odd... on this edition the oracle text doesn't state that attacking creatures don't get the bonus...

@darkcider & @Zuxen : Only creatures that are tapped and attacking won't get the bonus. Any creature that is untapped while attacking (due to vigilance or some effect that untaps them) will get the bonus.
They simplified this due to the newer wording of the enchantment and the "Who plays Castle anyway" concept.

Why didn't they reprint this??? Builder's Blessing could have been a much cooler design space.

In my oppinion, this card is awesome if you have lots of creatures in play, or just a few with vigilance. Who needs walls when you can toughen your defending creatures?

I think its a decent card when you have alot of creatures out. If I designed this card it would give all creatures 0/+4 and give them defender. I think that would be more like a castle.

"Herald and Kumano go to White Castle." This is that castle.

Attacking creatures get the bonus now. They actually changed what the card does after 5th edition. Don't see why they didn't just rename it. This is the only case I can think of where it wasn't just a matter of clarification, but an overruling of an intentional effect explicitly stated on a card. Of course, it doesn't really matter, since it brought the card up from completely useless to marginally useless.
