Nothing too powerful. Just an interesting light shield to substitute to solar. Art isn't mine but it's cool, so I used it. Comment.

Awesome idea but incredibly expensive for the return.

Personally (and remember I am not a guru) it looks like they could be better at a cost of 4 and then it would be a better return on investement, the other option would be to raise the heal to 2 out of 3.

Thanks for the great work.

I guess 2 out of 3 would be OP, since this is meant to work like the unupped entropy shield. If you are dealt 2 or 1 damage, you still receive 1 hp. Against a 15 atk ruby dragon it's a nice 5 damage reduction. Almost 2 times diamond shield's..  :)

Nice. It basically negates a third of the damage you receive. Better than the solar shield, that's for sure.

It's a weak shield against weak creatures (only 1 reduction). It gets more and more powerful as bigger creatures are played. The really nice thing, that makes it cost so much, is that it works on damage received by spells/poison/whatever too. This is to increase its usefulness, since 10% of the decks use dragons nowadays.

Just FYI, I don't know of any game mechanic that counts Poison as 'taking damage'.  Just a thought.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Well, that's just coding.. if this idea should ever be implemented, Zan will decide what damage to take into account and what not to.

For this cost, I'd say that this shield should HALVE all damage done to you, except spells.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

So, it essentially blocks a third of ALL damage you take.

Sounds great.
