1/2 Pacifism, as other people have already pointed out.

@Quibbleflux - Thank you for that. Now it's been said, and no one else need say it. We, the team, would like to thank you for taking one for us.
A great way to *** off people who take advantage of the Unleash mechanic. "Look, that Rakdos Cackler can't attack anymore, and since you Unleashed it, it can't block either!" Also handy for dealing with Flying when you don't have anything with Flying or Reach. This is a great generalist control card, and being a 1-drop, can be handy when defending yourself in the early stages against aggro players.

All star removal if you are running creature-less.

More useful than it looks; For instance, say you have something like Fortress Crab or another defender/utility creature that your opponent just played a spell on that forces it to attack each turn. It can't do that if it has defender. It also deals with any opponent's creature that has shadow, effectively nullifying their presence.
Yes, there may be cards that do this more efficiently, but how many of them cost one mana, have a useful keyword, and are hilarious to boot?
