A solid, if unspectacular, wall. A bit high on cost, a 2WW would have been a nice upgrade over Wall of Swords.
3/5

Nothing fancy.
I would take this over Baneslayer Angel in my Defender deck.
Because sometimes having defender is actually not a downside, especially if you have a couple warmonger's chariots and some Stalwart Shield-Bearers.
I would basically run it as a less mana-focused Plumeveil, which makes a remarkably good beater.

Having defender can certainly be a very good thing, especially considering the set it was printed in.

He's uncommon because if he was not, every single player in draft would chase after a Warmonger's Chariot to slap on him to get a 6/7 flyer the turn after Soulbound Guardians came out.

Is anyone else thinking about Avacyn Restored keyword mechanics now?

I never thought they'd print something almost as bad as Dark Maze again, but apparently I was wrong. And as an uncommon too. At least Dark Maze can attack once.
You guys do realize that a simple 4/5 flying for 5 would have been perfectly reasonable by today's standards, right? And that's just compared to normal creatures, I'm not even gonna mention that other white flyer that costs 5 mana...

Why on earth did wizards print such a horrible wall, being uncommon and all. This should be 3 cmc (see wolly thoctar or leatherback baloth).
I really wanted a effective wall that could acctually kill stuff. Red have some decent defenders, but splashing red complicates things.

Great with Rolling Stones, of course. Yes, I will admit that this card is under the lofty power bar set by Baneslayer Angel, but frankly Baneslayer angel is just a little over the curve. Compare this wall to Serra angel... and that defender still hurts, while the extra point of toughness isn't one of the big, relevant ones like "out of bolt range" or "out of shock range". Still, an average wall at worst.
