Strategy
An excellent card for 1 mana. This can save an important minion from death or your Hero from taking damage. The 2 Attack is also useful, as potential attackers could well have 2 or less health, and so this card can also often secure a kill for your team, while protecting other Minions, all for 1 Mana.
When it is summoned, it also triggers the effects of Sword of Justice and Knife Juggler. The Knife Juggler throws a knife before the opponent`s minion actually finishes attacking, and so it is possible for the knife to hit and kill the attacking minion, leaving you with a 2/1 Defender on the board. If Sword of Justice is equipped when this secret is triggered, the Defender will come into play as a 3/2 and remove a durability charge from the weapon.
