ART: Heavily modified from image by Smithsonian Institution : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SN_1996cr_in_Circinus.jpg IDEA: waterzx NOTES: Sister card to my another card Divine Protection | Divine Force. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,37461.0.html This card is a soft counter to CC while divine protection is a hard counter. The description is pretty clear, if any creature, be it enemy or friend, dies, you can only receive up to 15/10 damage next turn. The rest of the damage is negated. But this card may not be useful in all circumstances, similar to Purify. The reason I still made this card is because I wanna utilize the card art more SERIES:

well, it is a risky card though. useful if opponent is playing dragons or massing creatures. but i think it suits fire better. not sure though

If a creature dies by your shield does that count as a death caused by you? This card is definitely an original idea, but I feel sort of meh with it, feels uncontrolled, I don't know. Anyone else have thoughts?

Yes, so you should not use killing shield while using this card.

But the only shields affected are only the life shield and fire shield, shouldn't be a big problem.

You can control it with ease if you do not pack any creature-killing card in your deck. You can use other non-killing cards for CC

I think it's a little too situational. I mean, it's an indirect way to protect your creatures, but I don't like the way it gives your opponent the choice to kill or not, and I don't see any new deck ideas coming out of this card.

So I also mentioned that this card looked like another purify...

I'd better work more on Divine Protection.
