Full Defensor--at
first I didn't care for this card at all. I'm not
very fond blockers or cards that turn creatures into
blockers, though I do run blockers if I'm playing
Control. It's starting to intrigue me a bit more in
civs that have interesting creatures to play with
the card, like Darkness' slayers (funny and sure to
be effective stall in that situation) and Nature's
bounce-to-the hand Shouters. This spell isn't really
needed for Water and Light (unless you play more of
their underpowered weenies like Wyn and Hypersquid
Walter--but still...) and doesn't have interesting
effect creatures for Fire--though a chump Braid Claw
blocker sounds funny.
I think this card can
be nice in Shadowclash limited because of the lack
of blocker hate if it's pure Shadowclash packs and
b/c blockers are generally better to have in this
format. Otherwise in Constructed, it's like Sieg--you
can leave your best creatures out for Blade hits or
Paladin bounce or worse--a Skyterror drop. Overall,
I don't think it's that good, simply because I'd
rather splash Holy Awe or just run some blockers
creatures. |

Well today we have a intresting card, Full Defensor
Even tho this card is very intresting there isn't
much to be said about it. Full Defensor is a pure
defensive weapon, but doesn't light already have
enough defensive options? Light has already more
blockers than any other civ. and even the main light
deck (dimond cutter) runs almost all blockers. And
why use this when u have better choices like Holy
Awe (works great defensively and offensivly) and
Screaming sunburst.
Ratings:
Constructed- 1/5 Lots of better cards are around
Limited- 3.2/5 this can be a nasty suprise for your
opponet
final thought- Its not a crap card, in fact its
quite good, but its just not needed in the current
format. If we get a banning here like Yu-Gi-Oh did
than this thing will see a while bunch more play

I don't see the advantages of giving all your
creatures blocker for a turn. There are just too
many ways to deal with blockers. And your opponent
can just choose not to attack for that single turn.
This thing is only decent as a Shield Trigger. Even
then it pales in comparison to Holy Awe. Anyway I'm
not sure if I'll even try this out.

I haven’t done a whole lot of play-testing with
Light to be honest. But the decks I’ve run across
are already full of weenie blockers that turn into
attackers after a Holy Awe & Diamond cutter hit the
table. Full Defensor does not really benefit those
decks.
Maybe it’ll help multi-color decks with no blockers
that are looking for blocking capability at times.
I’m just not seeing it right now though.

Hey Everyone! I
find this card very useful in any deck. If
all of your creatures are blockers, chances
are, your opponent won't get many attacks
in. It's also a shield trigger, so you can
activate it while getting attacked. It's
also very cheap and cost-effective. You can
add this to a fire deck to get some fire
blockers too. All in all, a useful card.
Constructed: 4/5
Limited: 3/5 You
won't be able to organize your deck to work
with it as well here.
