  You should extend the deadline a little longer, not everyone checks the forums daily or even bi-daily

  Please let me know what you think. Pretty sure this isn't going to be the final form of this card.

  @phelgming move the second ability up so the flavour text is still there.

  The flavor text is all present as far as I can see. Its second ability is already directly connected to the first which is already a mechanical faux pas and if I move either of them up anymore they'll be directly touching the keyword line which just doesn't look good aesthetically.

  WoTC has come up with a formatting gimmick for creatures with "surnames" (ie. Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief etc.), instead of having to spell out the whole thing in the rules text you could just put "Drana". Your rules text can be reformatted to provide more room.
  
  Laia gets +2/+0 for each creature with defender you control. Creatures you control with defender get +0/+2.

  @phelgming the second ability is not attached to the flying, vigilance. Because of these, the flavour goes into the border.
• Phelgming

  @Faiths_Guide I had considered that, but thus far this gimmick has yet to appear on a card that does not first address the card by its full name. The new Ulamog is a good example of this as are Origins Kytheon, Chandra, and Nissa. If you can give me an example of a card that only refers to itself partially, I'd be grateful and will promptly redesign the card.
  
  @Superman101 Flying and vigilance are considered separate abilities so I thought you were talking about her +2/+0 and +0/+2 ability. As I stated in my comment on the card, they were supposed to be separate abilities so that added to my confusion.
  
  Eitither way, I will not move her buff ability (her "second ability") up as I find that more aesthetically displeasing than the flavor text being marginally out of frame.

  Huh. Well that's a fun fact of the day. I checked all legendary creatures in the 1-4 cmc range, and so far, it checks out.

  After a really good suggestion (thanks again, Kranbrat), here's the updated version of the card I posted above: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/laia-fighter-for-the-meek-1
  
  This also solves the problem of her not being very useful by herself (previously had her power at 0 before to balance out what could be too much of a power buff from her ability).

  @Phelgming, I agree with @Superman101. Moving the rules text up seems like the best solution to me.
  
  Either move the rules text up, or drop the flavor text out of frame. If you move the flavor text down below the frame, it will still be visible in the Card Text box that MTGCardSmith so helpfully puts below our designs.
