Bant commander

Arcades, the Strategist

Legendary Creature — Elder Dragon · Core Set 2019

Flying, vigilance
Whenever a creature you control with defender enters, draw a card.
Each creature you control with defender assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power and can attack as though it didn't have defender.
