NOTES:
Goal:
Create a shield for Gravity that fits the theme of the Element, while attempting to impact the meta.
Notes:
- Has a counter identical to Bonewall that determines the amount of damage that will be blocked. The shield will be destroyed after the counter reaches 0. If there is overflow, the damage is dealt to the user (Example, Purple Dragon attacks and Shield Wall has 6 stacks. Shield Wall is destroyed and user takes 4 damage).
- Only creatures played from the hand will add to the damage block of this card. Flying Weapons, Parallel Universe, and other effects will not.
- Counts as only one shield, so it will be completely destroyed by Deflagration and other PC cards.
- Playing another copy of Shield Wall over an existing Shield Wall will reset the counters. It is not cumulative.
Explanation (How will this change the meta?):
Gravity is a relatively slow Element, and is vulnerable to being rushed by all other Elements. Keeping this theme relevant, it must have strengths to compensate. Thus, this shield hinders rushes while allowing the user to build up their field. This card does not counter rushes, as it only blocks a certain amount of damage that a rush deck can overwhelm easily. It merely alleviates the pressure of a fast deck on slower decks.
It works well with high-health Gravity cards such as Armagio, Massive Dragon, and Chimera, which are rarely used. Additionally, it might give Graviton Salvager (which is pretty much nonexistent) another chance to shine.
Gravity Shield is generally seen as a weak card and only works against certain decks. This card gives Gravity a more versatile and stronger shield.
Similar cards:
Bonewall, Dissipation Shield, Armagio.

>Immediately begins complimenting
In all seriousness I have no idea what to think. I have no point of comparison, this is such a strange/interesting card.

I think you should raise the cost a bit. Like up to 6
