I agree with speednat. Not much gets by this guy. Seems like Venser's deck is... um way better than Koth's. Venser's Deck: This, Path to Exile, Oblivion Ring, Venser. Not a great deck, but respectable. Koth's deck: A bunch of above the curve spells, which are apparently justified because Koth's deck gets LOTS OF MOUNTAINS.

Although this is a DAMN GOOD WALL for the cost, if this wall had hexproof, you'd be damn unattackable.
Luckily, the shroud is what makes it even. sure, they can't really remove it, but you can't make it better, unless its a group effect.
Without shroud, it would not be as good, but again, without shroud, it wouldn't be bad. its double-edged.
Still, a perfect card for its cost.
5/5.

This card is such a pain in Venser vs. Koth. My friend got this thing out turn 3 and I spent just about the entire game trying to get rid of it. Only managed to do by baiting him into blocking my Bloodfire Colossus and sacrificing my Bloodfire Kavu. While he did fall right into that trap, it would've cost me both of them if he had caught on and never blocked with his wall in the first place. They were the only two creatures I managed to have out at the time...

Honestly Honor of the Pure seems like it could be hilariously good alongside this guy.

@pedrodyl As one who bought the duel decks, I can say that Koth is actually better. Venser is too slow most of the time. Of course, I just swapped some of the weaker stuff and put in cards like Grand Arbiter Augustin IV to make it awesome.

When I got the deck, I didn't check the decklist and only made a quick flip through before playing. When I drew this card for the first time, a big smile came across my face. 100% best defender of all time.

@atemu1234 I guess we'd need a Wall of Deceit for Obama then?

one of the best walls ever. however, as with all walls.........Deathtouch + Trample = Problem solved.
i say this on this card specifically because my friend bought the venser vs koth duel deck to play against my constructed babies...and the venser deck beat me right out of the box. humbling, to say the least, but it was because of this damn wall.

If Mitt Romney played Magic... @Blackworm_Bloodworm Then Mitt would use Mind Rot on the voters.

The flavor text is perfect for this card. It`s not too expensive and really slows down your opponent. Who doesn`t like playing ``Wall of Denial`` on the battlefield. 5 out of 5.

this thing is a *** to get rid of...but in all honesty, getting an 8+ swinger with Kiln Fiend is not too tough in an Izzet-Burn deck.

Guys, let's not make political references on Gatherer. Magic has almost nothing to do with politics.
Defender: when a creature meant to go with Doran is too strong, or when a creature just isn't crappy enough.
I'd say this card is the first option.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS.
Now, I'll bet you're pretty annoyed at hearing that for like the eight millionth time. Unfortunately for you, I'm behind a Wall of Denial, and there's nothing at all you can do to me to make me stop.

I want this reprinted for Azorius. Still probably my favorite wall, though Fog Bank comes close.

A 0/8 for a mere three mana PLUS shroud?! Who cares that it doesn't have hexproof!!! For what you're laying down when you play this card, it's super-cheap and will serve the purpose insanely well.
Awesome to say the least. Running it in a Lockdown Deck, my opponents really hate him. The only thing they have against him is Gatekeeper of Malikir ( I hope I spelled that right). I just use Overrule and save it.

I like how this omnidirectional, nigh-impenetrable magical barrier can somehow be thwarted by riding in on a horse.
