Defensive Formation

Enchantment, W (1)
Rather than the attacking player, you assign the combat damage of each creature attacking you. You can divide that creature's combat damage among any of the creatures blocking it.¹
"Your enemies will pound upon the door of your defenses, but only you shall have the key, and it is the key of life." -Song of All, canto 873
Illus. Greg Staples
