Cheap and effective, gets the job done if you're going mono-light and in need of a cheap shield.

THis may be late but this shield needs some form of buff. ! quanta for -1 damage. Big whoop sometimes paying more for better things is just worth it.

This shield should be the only one in the game to reflect poisons and maintain the low minus 1 dmg. Mirror shield is not ass effective as any other shield out there.
 
Idea 1: Mirror shield does not stop the dmg from hitting you but duplicates it onto the caster as well.

Idead2: Mirror shield reflects all casts to include poisons. If the Poison card is played then the HP's should be poisoned. If a creature poisons you then that creature is poisoned instead.

Idea 3: Adding another shield and boosting this shield to 2 dmg reduction. The new shield would be Refracting shield Aether or Light. All casts are redirected to a creature or player.

Just a thought becuase no one likes this shield as it is and the other shields just dominate it.

You do realize this thread is about Solar Shield/Solar Buckler, right?

Not to try to Nerf Solar Shield but... Solar Shield relies on solar power to work yes? And Nightfall is the absence of solar power... so shouldn't Nightfall negate Solar Shield?

And frogs should swim. and Dragons should fly and attack from behind you and your shield. Unless it's a Tuesday or a Thursday, when they only do half their damage. But, in the weekends, they do DOUBLE damage.

Look, I don't want to be too mean, but I think you're over complicating things here. It's just a ccg, remember?

Fairly sure it's reasonable to consider Light elementals capable of creating light. I do like the buff suggestions I've seen of this however. Adding charges for Holy Light ftw.

Cost increased and now produces :light for every point of damage prevented.

WOOT MAJOR BUFF!!

Now we can just shove this in any deck and put in some miracles, and we'll have a lot of health to throw around.

Is poison converted to  :light too?

Poison doesn't come into contact with the shield, so no.

A solar shield can generate :light quanta to fund light nymphs. However, its defensive power is quite weak, so you might need to heal more often than if you used a stronger shield, so it cancels out.

The shield is now ridiculously good at fueling miracle.

A useless card has just been transformed into a card opening new strategical mechanics.
Zanz really knows his job! Congrats.
A major buff for light is coming!

It's great that solar shield was buffed, but doesn't Light have enough of  :light generators?
Title: Re: Solar Shield | Solar Buckler
Post by: Kuroaitou on December 17, 2010, 11:08:57 am
Ah... a very nice change indeed. :) Looks like there will be more tactics to fuel Light cards if people plan on using this more often (Miracles, Dragons, Archangels, etc.). Rays of Light, Light Nymph, Luciferase, and Light Towers look out! You got another card competing for your worth.

Too bad there's no card to improve the shield's damage reduction effectiveness... yet. ;)

Did Light just get promoted from a meh element to a OMGWTFBBQ element? :(
This card pays for itself pretty quick and blocks damage while it's at it, a rushing shield it is...

Pretty much so.
This+Aflatoxin = a lot of :light quanta (without RoLs needed anymore).
A lot of :light quanta + :light Dragon + Fractal = you know what.

*Rush to the game*
Yay!! I indeed have a :light Nymph!! :D :D :D

*Visit the Oracle*
Yay!! He gave me a Solar Buckler :D :D

Maybe buffing the FG Miracle would make more sense :P

Meh I never really finish him fast anyways so him gaining more quanta is pointless to me.

This change I like.  Its a nice buff and not OP at all.  Light is all about secondary quanta generation and this ccard fits well with the theme.

Nightmare RoL anyone?

It wouldn't actually be too hard you know. It would be EASY in a stall deck.

Post by: Appawesome on December 18, 2010, 08:41:53 pm
When this gets in the game, the deck i would play is

Mark of Light
4 Solar shields
6 miracles
10 death pillars
4 aflatoxins
6 bone dragons


Maybe less miracles more death pillars...
Title: Re: Solar Shield | Solar Buckler
Post by: EvaRia on December 18, 2010, 08:49:15 pm
Add more light things.

23 light per turn is way too much for only a handful of miracles.
Title: Re: Solar Shield | Solar Buckler
Post by: nawikipedia on December 26, 2010, 05:09:00 pm
it generate  :light also if the creature have 1 att? (this way he just dont deals damage)

Yes, :light is generated each time damage is reduced with its effect.

Becomes so nice with aflatoxin effect.
If played enough fast is a childplay deny room for new creatures to the opponent and while doing that it's something like putting a tower for every malignant cell that spawns!

Only card to be feared (other than destroy and steal) is pandemonium

A rustler can convert light quanta and provide 46 life per turn!

Anyone else noticed any glitches with this card?  I frequently find it doesn't convert the damage to light quanta, but will still provide the 1 damage reduction.

Are you using Sanctuary? That card prevents the quanta gaining from Solar Buckler.
