"Find me cards equivalent to: Defensive Formation"

Equivalent or similar cards to Defensive Formation (white enchantment, alters combat rules) are:

  • Reconnaissance — lets you untap attacking creatures before damage, providing some combat control.
  • Invasion Plans (note: it's multicolor, but mostly white) — all creatures block if able, defender chooses blockers.
  • Brave the Sands — gives creatures vigilance and allows each to block an additional creature.


Reason: Very few cards let you assign combat damage for attackers. The above have related white, enchantment, and combat-manipulation effects, but Defensive Formation is unique in letting the defender assign combat damage.
