Blue rarely gets this kind of hard protection that keeps the creature on the battlefield (unlike Phasing)

Whilst the first clause that triggers when being attacked may come up less often, the two spells a turn one should give you a steady stream of cards

Sliver Gravemother Sliver Gravemother will benefit from cards such as Mirror Box and Helm of the Host as backup cards if it gets removed

Sword of Vengeance [Cat deck]: A great way to make one of your cats almost like Baneslayer Angel (Flying, first strike, lifelink, protection from Demons and from Dragons)

For competitive players, the set marks a shift in the meta too: Steel Song decks have seen a jump in popularity
