I’m fairly new yet, maybe I’m missing something. But I see devastating offense that is reasonably cheap on mana, doing tons of damage. I see very little in the line of defense cards and what there is cost enough by the time you have enough mana to use it it’s too late.
I love this game. I played it many years ago and it was like a chess match. I took few years off for time reasons, and now that I’m back, it feels more like a shooting gallery.
Am I the only one that’s feeling this? Can somebody recommend some really good defensive cards?
I’m sure I’ll have some people that just trashed me for asking because they like the heavy offense, I’m not attacking anyone just trying to figure this game out.

The game you talk about doesnt exist anymore dude
Offense is the best Defense. I don’t get why people have to drag out games for 50 turns and are so insistent on “countering” everything when it doesn’t fit the core game mechanic of you can’t do anything outside your turn. Attempting to counter everything means that you always let the opponent get the first, second, third, etc. shots. Great way to lose. Always letting your opponent get free shots.

Yeah like shieldmasta said offence = defence. You’ll notice that being a theme in sort of all games and even life itself.
I remember playing runescape and when you search “tank armor” or how to withstand damage you’ll come across a plethora of anecdotes and mathematics bout how its just much more efficient and reasonably feasible to DO more damage to TAKE less. This leaves you with armor and weapon setups thats like a zerg aggro deck. Now imagine calling a zerg aggro deck defensive. Its true but its weird
Its an allegory for life itself, really.

I recommend Starship decks. Especially Warlock and Death Knight, but Warrior works aswell. One of the best defensive cards is Arkonite Defense Crystal and those three classes can use it best.
