Funny that the Oracle errata didn't change it to "can only be blocked by creatures with defender." Maybe they were trying to keep the spirit of the original card, since not all defenders are wall these days.

because non-wall creature types with defender can not block the eeeevil eye!
best card name ever.

Interesting creature, its drawback would very well with exalted, but otherwise its power is too low to make this creature worthwhile in play...
Also, why can this creature be a 3/6, when Abomination, which has the same CMC, but has one more in its cost, only be a 2/6...

I agree, best card name. Its actually pretty good in some decks, too. Build around him, you may like what you get.

This card ain't so bad, 5 mana for a 3/6 for black. Your creatures can't attack but this card can't be blocked. Enchant it with stuff and attack away, you've got other creatures for backup and your opponent will always have to take at least 3 damagel, unless they are playing walls, which no one does these days anyway. 3.5/5

We need a ruling: Can a changeling attack with this?
A changeling is an eye, but it's also a non-eye.

@Tavartiz: "Non-eye" isn't a type. It's the exclusion of a type. Changelings do have other types, certainly, but they are still Eyes. This isn't Cowards. That is an interesting point though. In a changeling deck, he's simply a 3/6 unblockable.
I like how the rules text printed on the card is like a proclamation. It's almost as if the eye itself is talking!
"None of your creatures can attack... except for Evil Eyes! I declare it!"

I love this card. It is interesting, and has a cool picture. I have 4 in a casual deck I built around them. They are cool, and having several out at the same time can really scare an opponent. They should make a legendary land called Orms-by-Gore. I would want it to combo specifically with this card, like Kher Keep adds to the combo between Kobolds of Kher Keep and Rohgahh of Kher Keep.
