We are excited to announce the upcoming change of the Vigilance ability. Vigilance will be changed to better represent the ability, and to increase the value of creatures that have the ability by allowing them to survive against deadly attacks, when blocking.

The current Vigilance hint reads:

Vigilance will be changed in 4.1 to:

"This creature blocks opposing creatures only if it will survive combat damage of the basic damage step. It allows creatures with Defender and Reach to block first."

On that note, adding Defender to several cards was inherent to the Vigilance change. Therefore the Game Disgn team had already included this change. We are going to announce which cards will receive Defender, Vigilance or Berserker, in the next Pre-Release Notes, later this month on the Forum.
