I'll be honest, I don't like the idea. Now if there is some way to make it unusable with a protected permanent, then maybe. But as it stands Emerald shield and Hope are going to get shard spammed.

How would it work with Bone Wall?

More than somewhat OP.

One armagio would make your shield increase by 5|6. Hardly any creatures can penetrate that. A single BB would also guarantee a 4 point damage reduction. Way too powerful.

Okay, I've got an idea: what if I used the second version, but it was a permanent?

How would it work with Bone Wall?
I assume it would work such that a charge is only destroyed if the creature has any damage getting past its defence.

The second idea is also very, very powerful, and nearly broken if it can stack. 2/3 extra defense for 3 quanta? That's a steal. Especially considering how shields gain cost when their defense increases just by 1, you have an instant 3 bonus shield for only 3 quanta. Even when used in a non-:earth deck, assuming most shields have a defense of 1, nearly everyone would pay 3  :rainbow for 2 extra points of defense. This card would be even more powerful when coupled with let's say, fog shield or permafrost shield or mirror shield.

This as it is now is probably a bit OP, the starting DR isnt really that big if a factor. If it could work with mirror shield, (It doesn't target) you can stop a large amount of decks.

What if it scaled. so each point of DR costs 3HP* current DR.
so you play a titanium shield. armagio, then this.
25HP
25-6=19 DR now is 3
19 -9=10 DR is now 4
10-12<0 DR is now 5

"Instant 3 bonus shield for only 3 quanta"? You need a shield in the first place.

I'm considering having it just 1 DR, 2 if :earth mark, but that may be too large a bonus to Earth. Or, maybe it could only increase the DR of shields that already have DR, unless your mark is :earth.

This as it is now is probably a bit OP, the starting DR isnt really that big if a factor. If it could work with mirror shield, (It doesn't target) you can stop a large amount of decks.

Interesting. Perhaps the card text could just say 'Sacrifice target creature to increase your shield's damage reduction. Higher HP creatures increase it by more.', and then a balanced formula can be worked out.

Nah, this is totally underpowered, normally this would be fine but you forgot to take into consideration that its a shard :P

But yeah, this seems fine, though obviously im not the best person to decide on this...
