celestial flare, how it should work!

Abenjes

Should celestial flare destroy creatures with reach and vigilance as well, I believe it should... at the moment it is literally just defender which somewhat limits it and makes it pointless...
thoughts?

While I agree that it is very limited(cause there are only a few creatures with defender worth any spot in decks) making it affect vigilance and reach would make it too strong.
At the very least it would need a mana cost increase.

But to be honest this flaw has more to do with defenders being too weak and having no real benefit over vigilance and reach.
If defenders were designed like walls in magic(cannot attack) and have better stats than average cause of it then this card could actually have a place.

P.S. Also I think this topic belong in the suggestion & feedback section

The Reach ability specifically states that it gives Defender and the ability to hit flying creatures.
