Shard | Shard of Restraint

[Kael Hate]

It is not virtuous to restrain your opponent. To do so is not to live conforming to the moral and ethical principle of restraint but instead to apply law to someone else.

Taxing your opponent (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11369.msg149718#msg149718) isn't very virtuous either.  I'm sure we could make similar arguments with half of the shards submitted.  I don't think the competition is meant to spark philosophical debate about the level of each shard's virtue.

If you're coming at me with a 6 ATK knife, and I have the option to knock the knife out of your hand, restraining you from attacking me IS virtuous, IMO...  I didn't kill you or mutate you.  I just restrained your attack.  If there's a problem with the card itself, let's talk about that.  If my view of 'restraint' isn't as virtuous as your view, let's start a topic somewhere else.

Shards are about Virtue. Regardless of the Card effect you need to show that what you present is Virtuous. Zanz has siad that the shards are showings of Virtue and the competition asks you to choose a virtue. If there was no need to hold to Virtue, why ask for you to choose a virtue?
I would ask this of anyone and everyone in this competition.
