Eye on BNG: Pillar of War

Pillar of War is one of those cards that whenever I see in a draft or a sealed, that I always try to shove into my deck. The reasoning being twofold.

The first thing is that this card is a colorless 3/3 3 drop. The only drawback is that it's a defender, however, it's better than almost every defender in Standard. Other than Returned Phalanx which is useless in anything other than a B/U deck, Pillar is the only defender with more than 2 power for less than 7 CMC. Not only can it defend, but it can also clear some board space for you with it's 3 power.

The real enticing thing about this card is it's power. Whilst enchanted, which especially BNG seems to focus on, it can cast away it's defender status and attack. In a best case scenario you can play PoW on turn 3 and then enchant it on turn 4 and attack with a buffed PoW. It immediately turns into a force to be reckoned with and as an uncommon, chances are that you'll see it in limited formats.
