If there's a problem with the card itself, let's talk about that. If my view of 'restraint' isn't as virtuous as your view, let's start a topic somewhere else.
Taxing your opponent (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11369.msg149718#msg149718) isn't very virtuous either. I'm sure we could make similar arguments with half of the shards submitted. I don't think the competition is meant to spark philosophical debate about the level of each shard's virtue.It is not virtuous to restrain your opponent. To do so is not to live conforming to the moral and ethical principle of restraint but instead to apply law to someone else.So it will only affect your own creature?Does it have to? Is it not virtuous to restrain your attacker?

re·straint /rɪˈstreɪnt/ Show Spelled[ri-streynt] Show IPAThanks for the grammar lesson. Definition #3 is exactly what this card does. And the idea was to use it on your own creatures more like what Kuroaitou mentioned.
–noun
1. a restraining action or influence: freedom from restraint.
2. Sometimes, restraints. a means of or device for restraining, as a harness for the body.
3. the act of restraining, holding back, controlling, or checking.
4. the state or fact of being restrained; deprivation of liberty; confinement.
5. constraint or reserve in feelings, behavior, etc.
vir·tu·ous /ˈvɜrtʃuəs/ Show Spelled[vur-choo-uhs] Show IPA
–adjective
1. conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright: Lead a virtuous life.
2. chaste: a virtuous young person.
For Restraint to be your Virtue it must be your guidelines, not something you inflict on someone else. If you hold affliction on someone else you are making judgement, not holding virtue.
Why do you think your shard holds to the Virtue of Restraint?
Great for saving a creature with an important ability (Druid, FFQ) against damaging shields when they're immortalized. I like the idea, and the gray shard background probably helps the theme as well.Also, has great synergy with butterfly effect.
^^^ This... Good job, vrt...New QT's are plain beautiful, good job (whoever's work of art it is)Yeah I was pleasantly surprised to see the new QT's today. Great art vrt.
