Defender
A creature with defender cannot attack.
A creature with defender cannot attack. It is a cost on cards that make up for it with a good body or an ability, usually one that works while it sits back.
This is a short paraphrase of the keyword from the Comprehensive Rules, not a ruling on a particular card; read the card's own text and the official rules for a tricky case.
Cards that give Defender to other permanents are listed too.
