Most? Could you be any more nondescript?

[Hodari]

What about calling the upped version "Quantum Tunneling" and ignoring all shield effects?

I'm fairly certain that the shields not ignored are Phase Shield, Wings, and Hope. (This is from moo himself, on his proposed Antlion buff that probably inspired this. No way to know for certain until he responds, though.)

Lovely criticism as always Uppercut.  Listing all shields would be cumbersome and likely impossible.  However, I'm not sure there really can be any mass-Momentum type card, even with as little coverage as this one.  Also, I understand the logic but not the gameplay-balancing of making a weaker form of Momentum.

[Uppercut]

Sure it'd be cumbersome but it isn't even in the notes. This card could be read to mean just damage reduction effects since damage reduction is on most shields.

the shields which cannot be ignored include: wings, phase shield and hope.

this mass semi-momentum balance is aided by the fact that it only applies to burrowed creatures, and burrowed creatures have their attack reduced by 50%.

and yes, i can be more nondescript.  sit on it.

Antilons getting some love :)

So burrowed creatures wont lose HP from Firewall, and wont get infected from Thorn Carapace?
Cool card, though it would make the AI more deadly because they burrow creatures as soon as they can. It works well with Drake_XIV's Swallet/ Droline http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,37454.0.html.

But this would probably get nerf/buff to affect both side not just your own

Makes earth bit 2 strong. Gives is both momentum, quint, besides the fact that tunneling is permanent, and PA is earth card... And shrieker rush is one of the fastest killers itself.

It is only momentum against some shields and it has 1/2 damage for that boost
