Cool card, although lowering the cost by one would be better. 1 cost minimum, 7 cost maximum, so 4 is the best for unupped and 3 is the best for upped.

I think that there should be a chance that the shield does nothing. 

[EvaRia]

There is a chance that it will do nothing.
Fog shield and hit = nothing.
Dusk shield and hit = nothing.
For the unupped, Hope with no counters = nothing.
Reflective Shield = nothing.
Dissipation Shield with no Entropy Quanta = nothing.
There's probably some more too.

[Seiya]

Does that mean that if there aren't any entropy quanta to fuel the Dissipation Shield effect, then the shield is destroyed?

What would happen if a creature got the Bone Wall effect? Would the attack be completely blocked, while destroying the shield? Same with Dissipation Shield, if you lack .

Hmm...
For bonewall, it would probably just block it.
For Dissipation field, if you don't have enough entropy, I guess it would just fail, but not destroy the shield.

That's what I was thinking.
The shield doesn't actually transform, creatures would just take the shield's effect.
Since Bonewall is a Block ability, it would just Block the attack. Since Dissipation Shield is a block in exchange for quanta ability, if you don't have enough quanta, the attack will not be blocked.

I guess EvaRia was trying to say that that's not neccesary, it'd be an unneccesary nerf

Nice. Better than my "Chance attacking creature gets mutated" idea 

calling miss blocking for consistancy

Unupped:
solar buckler: block 1
Hope: typically does nothing
Thorn carapace: 75% poison for 1
Fire shield: deal 1
Grav shield: block if hp>5
bone shield: block 1
Bone wall: block
Phase shield: block
fog shield: 40% block all damage
Procrasination: time bubble.
Dusk mantle: 50% block all damage
reflective shield: nothing.
Jade shield: block 1
Dissipation: block all if quanta (this is in entropy deck, most likely)
Ice shield: block 1 and freeze

Analysis: 4 block for 1, 2 1/2 block all. 4 don't block any damage. 2 miss shields. 4 affect creature.
Hope is almost useless, unless it is in a mutation deck with RoLs.


I'm too lazy to see if that is balanced.

[Ekki]

Actually, it could work with possibilities between effects instead of shields, I mean:
blocking 1 would be a possibility, blocking 1 and freezing another, just blocking too (only counted once), blocking 1 and grav shield effect not counted (just effects that actually EXIST on shields, as they are)
what do you think?
Maybe it'll be more balanced... Or unbalanced... Whatever  ???

[AnonymousRevival]

Well, my only suggestion is to make it lower to 4 . Because the highest shield cost is 7: and the lowest cost is 1, so in between is 4.

Added a poll for the sake of testing an idea.

A random effect  shield is perfectly suited for entropy! I don’t know much about the details of coding, what would slow down the game and what wouldn’t, but since I would be excited to see this implemented, I thought about how it could be organized and came up with the following chart:

Unupgraded:
There are 17 Shields, which makes each worth roughly 6%. I grouped a 3rd “100%” shield along with Phaseshield and Bonewall  to represent  the Fog and Dusk shields successfully blocking, and a 0% block shield for when they miss. Also, imo, if you trigger the dissipation effect and don’t have the quantum to pay for  the damage, I think it should break the shield.
