hey maybe an idea for a shield to take away skills too.

Seems OP.  Not only does it block a high amount of damage, but it also has the chance of attacking on the opponent's turn.  That seems a little excessive to me.  In addition to the fact that Light already has 3 shields.

Can you please ignore the fact that Light already has 3 shields? This series is meant to have 1 rare shield for each element, and I don't think Solar, Mirror, or Hope are really worth being rares ATM (Hope is best off being really expensive but no further than that).

2 DR technically isn't "High" - avoiding all damage is (Phase, Dusk, and Fog) or blocking a load of damage is (Hope, Titanium, Permafrost).  Thematically it's a little off - how exactly do blinded creatures attack their owner? (Then again I really like the mechanic as well - we currently don't have a card that focuses on repeling damage this way.)

The upped might need to to cost 7 considering the cost increase with other shields.

I know that.  I'm making a series with shields from all elements, and this happened to be the first one ready.  As for the OP, I might agree a bit.  Might change to blocking 0/1.

I don't really like the interpretation of "blinded" that causes creatures attack their owner. I'd prefer (this is only my opinion ^^) creatures having a not-stackable percentage of failing attacks or abilities for 3 turns.

Anyway I like the idea, but I think that a "+1 DR" and a "+5%" could be a little bit OP for the upgraded version. Maybe they should cost 6|7?

I like it, but I don't know which to choose. I'll put a poll up for a few days to see which is better

I like it.  Light's shields are somewhat underpowered right now anyway, they could use a good one (other than Hope)

[Captain Scibra]

It about matches the costs of life and water shields blocking 1|2 and having an effect, and 20% is not too high for this ones, so I think it's balanced.  Though the element that the effect matches is debateable.  Perhaps 20% for the creature to only miss?

I kinda agree with this :s although I think it's a great idea to make a rare shield collection!


oh, also, off topic - great profile pic Isei

Are you planning to work more on the unupped one? I like it more, because it's more original, but (no offense) kinda looks like a Paint version.... If you will work on it, it can be a lot better than the upped one.
