Bold Defense (ZEN‑3) is a common white Instant from the Zendikar expansion. It gives creatures you control +1/+1 until end of turn, or if its kicker cost was paid it instead gives +2/+2 and grants first strike until end of turn. It serves as a cheap combat trick to push damage through or turn unfavorable blocks into advantageous trades.
