When you smoothly press the starch solution, it allows your finger to pass through.

Haha, what a strange theme...

I think there should be an upkeep (probably with a lower initial cost) simply because of how anti-meta this card is.

Yeah, but we already have a card like that. It's called Bonewall.

I'm not suggesting that you make it unable to be played, I'm just saying that it needs a duration or an upkeep, like Wings or Flooding.

Perhaps something like: 3 :water "Creatures with more than 5 ATK are unable to reach you. Drains :water per turn."

Why? I don't see any reason that it needs duration or upkeep.
See Gravity Shield.

Bonewall is the only shield strong against few strong creatures.

See Gravity Shield.

A very little portion of the creatures that are used as attackers in this meta have more than 5 HP.
A very large portion of the creatures that are used as attackers in this meta have more than 5 ATK.

This is list of creatures passing through Gravity Shield, but blocked by Starch.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]

Notice something? They're hitters. Creatures used to win the game. Blocking these are reducing the damage significantly. (??? is Phase Salvager)
Anything else? A hint?

This should be playtested to fine tune its balance.

I like it. It will shake the meta so be extra through with the playtesting.

The number should be adjusted. maybe 7? 8?
