Flourishing Defenses, Enchantment, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in May, 2008 in the set Shadowmoor. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 3 combos.
This card would benefit a deck that focuses on -1/-1 counters, such as a Golgari or Jund deck in Magic: the Gathering. While Flourishing Defenses can provide some value by creating Elf Warrior tokens, it may not be the most efficient option for this strategy. Cards like Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Nest of Scarabs could offer more consistent token generation and synergy with -1/-1 counters, making them better choices for decks looking to maximize this mechanic. Flourishing Defenses could still see play in casual or budget decks, but competitive decks may opt for more powerful alternatives.

This ability triggers both when a -1/-1 counter is put on a creature on the battlefield and when a creature enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it. This includes when a creature returns to the battlefield as a result of persist.
