NAME: Great Wall ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 6 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield:  : Construct Sacrifice target creature for an extra 15% chance to block attacking creatures. 75% Max.	NAME: Great Barrier ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield:  : Construct Sacrifice target creature for an extra 15% chance to block attacking creatures. 75% Max.

ART: IDEA: eljoemo NOTES: A second shield for gravity, because weight shield is often hated on for being not that great. To start with, the shield does nothing. After each sacrifice, the chance to miss goes up by 15% and caps at 75% (5 sacrifices). The block chance should be shown with a small number in the corner, like bonewall but "15%" instead of "15X" Might need the numbers tweaking, feel free to suggest anything you feel. Any questions and constructive criticism welcome. SERIES:

Spell damage always hits, as with fog and dusk.

Huh.. funny how Graviton Inferno, an older idea for a Gravity Shield, needs sacrificing too. Why is that? It's not like Gravity lends itself to it. If anything it's the opposite with its high HP creatures wanting to stay on the board. Being steadfast and having control seems to fit Gravity. Graviton Inferno required to sacrifice, which makes sense in that it's like a forge, but in hindsight I don't think it fits Gravity to sacrifice creatures even with the help of a more volatile element. Non-pillar/pend ermanents on the other hand.. that would make perfect sense for building a wall.

But a wall wouldn't cause you to miss. It would reduce damage. Of course, Graviton Inferno already does that. It's also not very thematically sound for Gravity to.. dodge.

The thematic reasoning is quite simple. The shield physically builds a wall out of your creatures to block your attack. The more creatures you sacrifice, the bigger the wall gets, the harder it gets to successfully hit the opponent. I could portray the idea better with some art but I have neither the skill nor equipment to be an artist. The reason I chose gravity is because building a giant wall sounds pretty gravity-ish to me, and big bulky creatures tend to make better building blocks, I should imagine.
