Yoked Ox

Oh man well I gotta bring up Aegis Turtle again, I love that card and blue also gets you Sidisi's Faithful, Contraband Kingpin, and Deputy of Detention,
But Concealing Curtains  Flip is sweet, and what feels way back in the day I even ran Disowned Ancestor who was okay in board stalls,
Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is cool with stuff like Shape the Sands,
And hear me out, a card that works great with both tower defense and ensnaring bridge is Ornithopter.
Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive does as well.
Gilded Goose gets sweet as your mana curve gets lower,
Permeating Mass cracks me up if you focus more on assault formation and High Alert, But ive never gotten around to trying it.
And I guess Brokers Initiate is just a strict upgrade to Yoked Ox with her mana sink?
Arboreal grazer is sweet I'd definitely keep him and some harbingers
And I know it's a non-bo with collected company but I gotta make the obligatory statement about how sweet Lingering Souls is with tower defense,
Though is it too slow nowadays even with bridge? Shit I feel old. At least it can chump a giant murktide for a while

I have a secondary version of this deck focused on mass token generation. To get this deck, swap out the cards listed in the Maybeboard section for the following:

Aegis Turtle is strictly better than Merfolk Secretkeeper or Yoked Ox here. I'm also a big fan of Wall of Omens for High Alert decks. Having played with Wall of Blossoms in Assault Formation for many years, I can say that the ability for a creature to replace itself is invaluable for this kind of deck that doesn't get a lot of card advantage elsewhere. On the more experimental side, I think The Birth of Meletis could be an interesting choice where you delay the wall entry in order to gain a land.

NerdGore: I appreciate the feedback! Giant Ox definitely seems like a good option for the deck. Getting out a creature on t1 is still pretty important so i'm hesitant to completely take out Yoked Ox. Since most of the enchantments in the deck are 1cmc, Starnheim Courser loses a lot of it's value, though I definitely could see it's use in similar decks with higher curves.

Hi usaDiabetic,
Thanks a bunch for your great suggestions! Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa and Austere Command will definitely go in, replacing Yoked Ox and Kin-Tree Invocation respectively.

Foil Yoked Ox. It's shiny and a really good early defender, but Duskwatch will save you so much heartache in terms of creatures. In addition, because you'll be shuffling with Karametra all the time, card order really doesn't matter.
Also, swap out the Primordial Hydra for either Oran-Rief Hydra or Ulvenwald Hydra. More lands = more power.

Apart from Yoked Ox, there is also Tasseled Dromedary, but it does not have defender either. But they still fuel your Assault Formation. Same would go for Nyx-Fleece Ram.
Though a card you might like is Pride Guardian.
