Him with Confusion in the Ranks to make your opponents VERY afraid to attack.

I've got a UR deck in which I pair this guy with a levitation to form basically an unsurmountable defence. I'll play Form of the Dragon and some pingers to take out threats. Then I use telepathy and a bunch of counterspells to save myself, and then I get to have fun with Lord of Shatterskull Pass and a few heartstones (too poor to afford training grounds). A house of cards, yes, but that's what a fun, casual johnny deck is about.

Offense and defense in an efficient package. Many players underestimate how much a solid defense allows you to play aggressively.

No one mentioned Pandemonium? You could even use Warstorm Surge.

This is an example of good control; as opposed to saying "creatures can't attack you", this card gives opponents options: Attack and pay , attack and deal with the Ogre tokens, or don't attack. If white and blue control had more cards like this, it would be less unfun to play against. Norn's Annex and Remand are steps in the right direction.

I was playing an EDH game against a token deck. He had used Nomad's Assembly after a White Sun's Zenith the previous turn, then proceeded to rebound it the following turn. Twenty-something Cat and Kor tokens pumped with an Honor of the Pure and a Glorious Anthem against twenty-something 3/3 Ogres. The carnage was beautiful.

Everything said about this guy is great. He's a defensive red card, reminiscent of great defensive enchantments like Ghostly Prison or Propoganda.
The main reason I commented is to answer Hancocky's question, about the wording on his card. Abilities in Magic that are triggered usually resolve even if whatever triggered them is no longer true. If, for example, you were attacked by a creature when you controlled Hissing Miasma or Isperia, Supreme Judge and, after the fact, the creature was either removed from combat or, in a stranger case, you are no longer the defending player they still lose 1 life or you draw a card respectively.
Kazuul, however, has an intervening "if" clause. What this means is, if the "if" clause is not true at both the beginning and the end of the trigger, it won't resolve. For Kazuul, when a creature attacks, if you're the defending player at the beginning... (see all)
