The basic plan of the deck is to play creatures with defender, lots and lots of creatures with defender, and then eventually use Axebane Guardiant and Overgrown Battlement to make a ton of mana, eventually find Freed from the Real to make infinite mana and then hopefully use that mana to win the game.
Along the way we draw a ton of cards with Mulldrifter, maybe flicker some things with Ghostly Flicker and hope that everything comes together in the end.
Of course, the plan comes with a downside: when things go wrong we're casting a bunch of creatures with zero power that can't attack, which leaves us in a spot where are deck does nothing for a long time before it eventually does everything all in one turn and tries to win the game.
The question is how often this plan comes together. Is Defender Combo consistent enough to compete in the Pauper format?
