Mask of Tragedy/Mask of Affliction

[Levy]

Is it a shield?

Yes its a shield.

permanents can be overpowered, its not enough to say "permanent control cards exist (plus momentum), so this isnt too powerful"

Agreed

Do you think this is a fair comparison? I believe this can at least set a lower bound for the cost.

Im not sure i understand.

Are you saying rather than limiting the card to 2 turns, let the damage done to your opponent be equal to your darkness quanta/ or max payable darkness quanta?

No. I meant the lower bound for the cost of Mask can be derived from the cost of Dimensional Shield.
X is the casting cost of the card. Y is the number of waves it prevents

Sundial
X = 1|0
Y = 0 (delay one of your waves to block on of theirs)

As a standard permanent it seemed a little OP. As a shield this is actually pretty cool! It gives a nice answer to phase shield.
However, given that it protects from a broader spectrum of sources, it should be a little more expensive than its  cousin. This shield essentially protects you from any kind of attack so its like a combination of mirror shield and phase shield plus poison reflect. Sans immaterial.
Quite powerful, so spamming may be a definite concern, much more so than phase shield which relys on the fact that spells and poison can bypass it. This will take some work to balance, I think.
All in all though, very cool concept.

You still take damage...
Anyways, this shield looks nice Thinking of what SoSa would do... healing isn't reflected.
