Argh, I'm 4th! This is infuriating! Time for a sales pitch:

Hi it's Icybraker with Energy Field! Watch this. You're gonna be in a great mood all day, cause you'll be zapping your troubles away with the Energy Field. Now look. Here's an Air Elemental. One attack - you get one zap for annoyance. Two attacks - you get two Ball Lightnings for damage, and look at this - if you add a Graveyard the more you do it the more creatures you have, you don't have to switch any shields.

Now, you love Sparks, you hate using Sparks. That's why you don't have any Sparks in your deck. Watch this - one attack, Spark. You're gonna change your shielding habits. For damage, spawning, anything you want - 5 turns, 4, 5 turns and you're DONE.

This thing, this shield looks BORING. Stop having a boring shield, stop having a boring life. Add the Energy Field, and watch this. You're gonna have an EXCITING life now.

Here's an Energy Field, one turn. You add the Graveyard, you add the Condor. And what you can do, you can mix things together. You add the Eclipse, and you're gonna love this. You don't have time to add Sparks to your deck - here's Sparks to go.

You're gonna love my nuts. What about buffing your Sparks? Put in a Blessing, Chaos Seed, Heavy Armor... comes with a COVER. So you can do everything in the cover. It's so easy - one turn! Look, if I can do it in one turn, you guys can do it with your entire game. Kids can do it.

Look at that, isn't that beautiful with your Graveyard? The reason you're gonna use the Energy Field everyday is because it's so easy to use. 1...2... and it POPS OPEN like that, like a Chaos Seed. Now these other ones you've seen in this competition, they're worthless. forget about them.

We're going to make Elements fun, one Energy Field at a time!

I just don't like that it's a percentage based card.  I think the 50% chance shields are cop-outs.

What, all that time spent parodizing the Shamwow Guy, and no extra votes?!

@Gl1tch: you make a reasonable point. However, percentages are one of the fairest things in the world; for example, the game starts with a coin toss, with a 50 % chance of you starting before your opponent and a 50 % chance of the opposite happening.

Well instead of decreasing the likely hood it happened, why not change what triggers the effect.

Besides, at current, that shield plus aflatoxin will win every time.

Fair, not reliable.

Why? Some mechanics don't work if they're 100% reliable. Think about Fog Shield.

It works best when you're actually SEEING the Slap Chop video while reading it and notice that almost every one of his lines are parodized.

Meh. I'm out of this competition. Congrats to the winners and see you next time - I'mma get a GREAT idea ready.
