Rules Discussion / Re: Defense + Block

consider the case of force orb/sword vs cobra reflexes vs block
force orb/sword and CR give the creature a defence while block acts LIKE a defence.
force orb/sword states it can be used while incapacitated while CR cannot.
the difference is when a creature gains a defence (force o/s or CR) it is not used
while incap, so the force o/s has to state it can be used on the card.
while treating as a defence (block) does not equal gaining a defence
