Why not use the same thing that Flooding does and absorb  :earth :earth :earth per turn?

I want it to be a choice. Spend the  :earth and keep it in play or save it and let it be destroyed.

In that case, I would change the skill to:
 :earth :earth :earth : Fortify
Keep this permanent in play for one turn.

Second question: Why Earth?

This + Procrastination + Eternity = Lockdown (with upkeep, of course).
Both the name and mechanic make me want to have this as a Shield instead of a regular permanent.

The name? Do you go around with an entire shelter strapped to your arm?

Nevermind about the name. I was responding to MFB's question in my head. :P

I see your point, but do you walk around with hope strapped to your arm?

My point was to counter his, shelters are not shields. Hope is also a horrible name for a shield, but I cant debate it. Based on the image hope looks like it's supposed to be armor. Whick begs the question why I can't use plate armor as a 3 def shield

Definitely not meant to be a shield. As for a lockdown, don't we want to combine cards in different ways to win games. Obviously Shelter can still be targeted. Plus the opponents creatures can still attack.

If you're inside a shelter, it 'shields' you from blizzards, sandstorms, etc.

If it doesn't affect creatures' ability to attack you - not your creatures (even Fire Shield offers a form of defense) - then I don't think that it should fall under the shield category.
