"Find me cards equivalent to: Guardians of Oboro"

Equivalent cards to Guardians of Oboro with similar color (U) and effect (allowing creatures with defender to attack):
1. High Alert (U/W): Allows creatures to assign combat damage equal to their toughness and lets creatures with defender attack as though they didn’t have defender.
2. Arcades, the Strategist (U/W/G): Lets defenders attack and assigns damage based on toughness.
3. Assault Formation (G): Not blue, but similar effect—defenders can attack, and tough-as-power.

None are an exact blue, mono-color equivalent. Closest blue-only effect: High Alert (needs white) with Guardians of Oboro.


Reason: Only a few cards, mostly in U/W/G, let defenders attack. Guardians of Oboro is unique for mono-blue.

    Rules

  • Arcades's last ability doesn't actually change any creature's power. It changes only the amount of combat damage it assigns. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values. For example, Rabid Bite won't cause a creature with defender to deal damage equal to its toughness.
  • If Arcades leaves the battlefield after a creature with defender has attacked, that creature remains an attacking creature, although it will assign damage equal to its power.
