Moat

Description: +2 Cards.  Whenever another player plays an Attack card, you may reveal this from your hand.  If you do, you are unaffected by that Attack.
Type: Action - Reaction
Cost: 2
Set: Dominion

The only defensive card in the original set.  By itself, it acts like a Smithy -1 card and obviously it is great when you are defending against attack cards like Militia.  If no one has an attack card, and a smithy or another card that gives you more cards is in play, then there really isn't much of a point of getting a moat.  When your opponents have several attack cards, then you'll need to make sure you pick up a few to spread them out in your deck such that each hand you draw will have (hopefully) at least one moat.
