Here, these are some Defenders that make me cringe less than others: The best Defender creatures are ones that support our tribe (Axebane Guardian), interact with the board in a meaningful way (Junktroller), bring some needed utility to the deck (Mnemonic Wall), or are super efficient beaters with extra bells and whistles (Wall of Denial)
You can also split the mana between two different creatures to give multiple cards haste in one turn
Because a card has been destroyed we can special summon Chronograph Sorcerer (if in hand) and an additional card in hand - in this example, Performapal Odd-Eyes Synchron
Starfoil : Shiny too, but star patterned
Frankly, this card can see play in all kinds of different Commander decks, ranging from Urza, Chief Artificer to The Council of Four
Its that time for a new set, and all I have to say is, Cowabunga
