Still Shield | Improved Still Shield

NAME: Still Shield ELEMENT: Air COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield: Negate all spell damage. Reduce damage by 1. Removes airborne.	NAME: Improved Still Shield ELEMENT: Air COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield: Negate all spell damage. Reduce damage by 2. Removes airborne.

ART: IDEA: timetock NOTES: hopefully a counter to both psion, SoW, SoFree, and the less popular UG. Still a usable shield? Could be OP, but I might be wrong. I wanted to go in air, because I had the idea that air can make the air still and thick, thereby sealing your movements and also hindering the flow of spells. This card removes airborne of all creatures when it comes into play, and new creatures will be affected too. When card is removed, creatures regain airborne. It's like flood I suppose. Another idea is to have an upkeep so it would fit with the thematics? constantly spending to control the air? I don't even know. What do YOU think? SERIES:

This thing one turn out, now wings is a 5-turn dim shield. Not exactly right but you know what I mean. But for that combo, you would need at least 3 still shields (to make sure you really draw one early, and even then you can't be too sure) and 4+wings. Considering the card space thart combo would use up in your deck, this combo wouldn't be stronger than dim shield, but would strain your quanta a bit less. You wouldn't be able to fit this combo into a valueable wyrm rush, since with all that shards and wyrms is cramped enough already. I don't think it would be OP in comparison to dim shield.

Aside from that, it only works against wyrm-rushes if there aren't many shards out already. If there are 3 or 4 shards on the opponents field when you draw and play this card, then it won't work anymore, right? Or does it remove airborne when it comes into play (Like an AOE-spell?)

(This card could maybe be aether as well, some "empty space" shield? neither lightning can be in empty space, nor can something fly if there isn't air.)

Ah. I didn't clarify. It removes airborne the moment it comes into play, and it stays that way until this card is removed. Once it's removed creatures regain airborne. Or maybe they shouldn't? At any rate, any new creatures played while this card is in play will have removed airborne.

Your solution sounds better (And is a new way to think about the removal of airborne). Even if Wings wouldn't be completely OP, they would become even stronger than they already are. And Wings really doesn't need that.

love the concept (would highly prefer it as  )

Is this a shield?
If so, it should have "Shield: " at the very beginning of the card text.

the second card says "shield" twice (as it summons them and isnt a shield itself), the second one should have the word "shield, a mistake on the making of that card (as every shield clarifies it is one)

So much SoFr Nerf. So much awesomz, so much like idea I never finished...

I think it;s not a mistake, it seems to be intentional as it is not actually a shield, but... wings. It makes player fly, I imagine it so. Anyway, I think shields and weapons should have special icons.

Back on topic. Isn't this too many things for one shield? Nulling spells or airborne status is strong enough itself in my humble opinion. But as fas as nulling airborne status is concerned I would see this shield in gravity rather than in air.

Ok, comparing it to wings, once airborne creatures can harm you. Comparing it to mirror shield, it does not reflect... So maybe decide on the effect and increase reducing damage to 2? I really don't know.

phase shield does say "shield". and it makes the player "immaterial" (as can not be touched by matter)

fixed.

not sure why you would see it in , because I can't. If you explain it... Also already has 2 shields, so I doubt it needs another one.
