My first thought was: OP!

And that's still my thought. Zanz said that if it's too powerful though, he'd probably add an upkeep. If it's still too strong (Which it probably will be) He'd change it to last N turns.

So yeah, discuss.

So wait... unless it has dive or it's your weapon... it can't hit you?

Doesn't that lock down all creatures but two?  Unless your playing a Fahrenheit deck, this is pretty auto-win.  Speed poison and lances might also work.

My first reaction was... WTF?!

The name. It's bad. I mean, like, really bad. Come on Zanz, I'm sure you can think of something better than simply "Wings". Even "Winged Shield" is better.

My second thought was... ERROR. Does not compute.

What do you mean by "flying creatures" and "ranged weapons"? Please be more specific.

And I assume that what this card does is give you wings, enable you to fly, thus evading attacks from earthbound creatures? It's a bit OP.

Well everyone remember, flying does not necessarily correlate with Dive.  In fact, I would imagine that even Phoenix could hit it... right?  All dragons?  If I'm right, then this card only blocks about half of the creatures in the game.  Then again, I'm usually wrong so bleh.

Also, it is about time Air gets an OP card, I was getting tired of the lack of great shields in the game.

Two new passive abilities are going to be added to the game:
"Airborne" for creatures capable of flying (most dragons, angels, pegasai, rustlers, spirits, photons etc etc)
"Ranged" for ranged weapons (only owl's eye atm)

Does that mean... more rare weapons?  We must collect MOAR RARE WEAPONS!

ah damn internet prevented me from posting earlier, I was gonna suggest that some units are flying (obviously dragons)

but even then this will destroy most decks

most fractual decks, life rush, vampires

and yatta yatta

edit: it would make sense that rustlers/ leaf dragon can't fly cause its supposed to be in trees/ absorbing sun

vampires

Bats can fly there buddy.

As far as I know, the Vampires in Elements haven't ever turned into bats.

I completely agree with the statement on Rustlers, as the only thing looking remotely like a wing on them is their little leaf things off the arms, which would never enable it to fly (Too small, and the upped one is bending).

For those curious, I compiled a list of the FGs that would (Probably) use flying creatures:

 Chaos Lord (Mutants, Dragon
 Dark matter (Archangels and Dragons, Chargers ignore it)
 Destiny (Mutants/Hatches, and maybe Maxwell)
 Elidnis (Just the Dragon)
 Ferox (Just the Dragon)
 Fire queen (Everything but Fahren)
 Gemini (Just the Dragon+Momentum'd Recluses)
 Hermes (Just the Dragon)
 Miracle (Everything but Leaf Dragon)
 Morte (Just the Archangels and RoLs, maybe the Dragon)
 Obliterator (Stone Dragon can fly?...)
 Octane (Everything)
 Paradox (RoLs, and doubtful Dejas)
 Scorpio (Just the Dragon, but Poison kills you too)
 Seism (Same as Obliterator)
 Eternal Phoenix (Everything)
 Neptune (The Dragon)

EDIT:  Also, now that I think of it, wouldn't this solidify the  deck?  PA this shield and you could, depending on the amount of flying creatures, ruin your opponents entire deck.

Awesome.

No, because the shield is Air.

Wow, I thought I had that other guy for saying vampires couldn't fly.   ???
