This shield needs no nerf.

It costs 6  :aether quanta. I would rather get 4 more  :aether and summon a Phase Dragon.
It only blocks for 3 turns. Compare that to a shield that blocks 3 damage and NEVER DISAPPEARS
Your still vunerable to Spells, Momentum
You will be wasting a lot of quanta to save You for 3 turns.

This isn't a nerf topic, but thanks for the input. The main two reasons this is balanced are as follows: direct damage (mainly Poison and pump spells) and cheap PC (Deflag, Steal). As long as PC is as cheap as it is, it's fine. It's unfortunate that competitive PC is currently limited to two elements though; it makes matches against elements that lack ways around Dim Shield very one-sided.

Momentum also gets through this. Although on that note, Lobotomizer|Electrocuter can remove Momentum.

Anyone who thinks this card isn't overpowered is nuts :P people generally don't play 6 forms of PC while if you're playing dim shield you're likely to play 6 also giving you better chances to draw. Also seen in the arena how powerful this card is, just a few days ago the top 4 bronze decks were all aether mark that played dim shields.

Heh, you never survive to play 6 Dims if your opponent has PC in their rush. This has been painfully repeated in many events and tournaments. It's powerful and will always have a strong place in the metagame, but nowhere near OP with all the cheap ways to circumvent and destroy it.

As for Arena, it is dominated by any deck when it's good enough and gets played enough. Last week we had four fire decks at #1 in -every- league, and yesterday we had two death decks as #1 in Bronze and Silver. It's pretty much the worst possible place to judge any kind of balance in any way.

There's plenty of ways to counter Dim Shield chains.

Destroy it: Deflagration, Steal, Pulverizer, Butterfly Effect
Get around it: Sapphire Charger, Momentum, Titan
Direct damage: Fire Bolt, Ice Bolt, Drain Life, Unstable Gas, Catapult, Nightmare, Lightning, Shockwave, Voodoo Doll + Rage Potion, Voodoo Doll + Gravity Pull, Liquid Shadow + Antimatter
Deny quanta: Discord, Black Hole, Devourer, Earthquake, Poseidon
