NAME: Shard ELEMENT: Other COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: It looks like a crystal shard. It seems to be useless, but it might be upgradable.	NAME: Shard of Integrity ELEMENT: Other COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: Immaterial All of your creatures are immortal while in play. Lasts three turns.

ART: Elements Forums IDEA: moomoose NOTES: Redesigned to be more interesting. This shard can only be played once per player per game. Designed to allow for cards to start to set up instead of being instantly smashed.  That is not to say that a fireshield/thorns or quanta drain wont ruin your day anyway. For Card Design Competition: Shard Madness! SERIES: ***Insert series name and link to series page (if any)***

redesigned the card

6 of this = 18 turns of immortality for your creatures
i think the cost should increase to 5 or 7

[moomoose]

nope, read the notes this shard can only be used once per player per game, it is about integrity afterall heh

CURATOR COMMENT
To get this card approved for the competition:
-Fix the discrepancies between the non-upped card text and the Ability description in the table (exchange 'may' with 'might', and fix the spelling issue of 'upgradable')
-Leave the ATK|HP value blank if the card is not a creature (for both sides of the table)

That said, the card idea is indeed interesting in the aspect of having a card that can only be used/played once during a game (similar to a concept presented by Bloodshadow and his legendary 'status'). Considering that this card can last 3 turns and cannot be destroyed (meaning that your creatures are pretty much invulnerable with this card in your deck), don't you think the cost should be a bit more expensive? I can see having a Anubis and this card will allow you to slowly begin immortalizing your creatures on your side of the field until everything is protected, even with the 3 turn limit/one card per player/game rule.

Something that can only be used once per game? Hm, that sounds like a very nice mechanic for those "forbidden spells" I made ages ago on Kongregate. It goes well with my Legendary Creatures too, and maybe I can make a set of "Divine Cards" or something...

[moomoose]

yeah, an anubis would be a useful thing to shield, but not a whole lot of decks include them currently, so i dont see that as being a horrible issue.  and as for the cost, i figured the other shards are 3, and this one can only be used once and if it isnt there when you need it to set up, it is much, much less useful.
