Do walls have special rules in Magic The Gathering?

Yep, walls have a specific rule that makes them pretty unique in MTG. Basically, all walls have the 'defender' ability, which means they can't attack. Back in the day, 'wall' used to be a creature type that automatically implied it couldn't attack, but these days, it's all about that 'defender' keyword. So, if you're building a deck and thinking about defense, walls are your go-to, but remember, they're just there to look scary and protect you, not to attack!

Actually, walls are just another creature type unless they got 'defender.' This means some creatures that aren't walls can still have 'defender' and vice versa. So, it's not about being a wall, but having that keyword.

Honestly, walls are underrated. I've built entire decks around them. The trick isn't just their 'defender' status; it's how you use them with other cards to turn their passive presence into an active advantage. Trust me, a well-placed wall can be more annoying to your opponent than a direct attack.
