Titanium is also being changed. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20552

I'll repeat what I've said in the past: don't bother screaming bloody murder about OP this and UP this before it's finalised. zanz even said straight out that he'll tweak balance later.

Aether is the prime Element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all Elements to exist.
Aether represents the sense of joy and union, and the ultimate potential of all things.

Tower Shield is now 5 Random quanta in the Trainer.

Definitely a step in the direction I was hoping for
Now, its only one more quanta for one more defense, and its one more quanta than the other vanilla shield for the same amount of shielding.
You're just as selfish as I am. You're just not as good at it yet.

But the cost curve between unupped and upped is +4. Don't get me wrong, I think its great that Other is getting a shield, but 5 random quanta for only 2 defense... I would not choose to run it in any deck besides a fun deck (unless that is what it is intended for.)

I think the cost of Tower shield is based on Titanium cost. It seems fair except that Tower shield is an upgrade so it should be a bit cheaper IMO.

I think a cost of 2 basic and 4 upped would be balanced.

Titanium costs 4 :earth unupped. Tower Shield costs 5 :rainbow upgraded.
Assuming
1) 3 :rainbow = 1 :earth
2) Upgrades get a -1 or -2 cost reduction
Tower Shield is priced at 1 :rainbow less than an upgraded DR2 shield.
Hence why Tower Shield does not need an additional cost decrease.

Ok but my point is that if Titanium is underused at 5 :earth in PVP1, Tower shield won't be played at all at 5 :rainbow in PVP2!

Meh.

This is the sort of card that makes elements less unique. Not having a shield that blocks damage is supposed to be a quality of Fire, for example. I don't see the point of this shield really except to make everything more average.
