Weird flavor text forthe effect. You'd expect something like "but together they prevailed" from such a toughness boost.
Diaspora isn't a happy set, they worked together, but there was still a casualty.
Well, in that case maybe the cardname and/or mechanics should reflect that theme better e. g. a great effect here would be "Distribute two +1/+1 counters among them." Which in-universe could represent why only one of them could prevail. A name change to Bar the Way would lend itself more to a story where the two creatures focus on an end beyond their own survival (e. g. stopping the runac to trample over a camp) without actually implying that the blockers are strong.
Maybe just Stand Defiant or Face the Charge.
Stand Strong and high toughness just don't fit the story the flavor text wants to tell.
