Aww. Still, Thorn Carapace and Bonewall is useful. The attacking creatures themselves soon die, and fuel the bonewall.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Don't have damage deduction stack. Abilities can stack but damage reduction might be overkill.
How so...?

Maybe he meant that only the higher def shield blocked defence, and the other one just applied its ability...

Well stacking 2 sheilds that reduce damage by 3 for a total of 6 seems a little insane to me, but you know what is more insane? Em shield to reflect and reduce damage by 2 with permafrost shied to make creatures into icecubes, and have a total damage reduction of 4 while you are at it.
Even if damage don't stack there some fairly broken combos heres.
Thorn and dusk mantle. 50% of attacks miss, and because they still attacked they can still get poisoned.

I still think this card is a good idea if certain limits are placed on it

Well you just have to look at the sheer cost of all those combos. Trios are already hard to balance....
Emerald + Perma?
7 :life + 7 :water + 10 :earth This seems like the most powerful out of the combo's mentioned, but still costs WAY to much to be abused.
Thorn and Dusk?
7 :life + 5 :darkness + 10 :earth How 'bout Dusk and Plagues to use the (cheaper) death/darkness synergy.
Double diamond?
24 :earth Won't hope do it better.
Diamond Shield + Diamond Shield. Mono-Earth that blocks 6 damage from all sources? Sure.

Fixed :P

standard Hope deck + mark of earth + this card + mirror shield = SMILEY FACE :D
That + Momentum/Unstoppable on a blessed grown lava destroyer that suddenly gets PU'd = OUCH!

No it has not been mentioned, thank you very much for bringing that to my attention.
*Looks for new art*

I suspect that Gravity Shield and Fire Buckler would make a powerful combo with this card. Any creatures above 5 hp blocked and anything below would eventually die. The high cost and the trio needed to pull this off makes this card not overpowered.

Just my :electrum

Yeah many of these possibility's sound great, but the fact that they are costly and trio makes them not so much. :)
