NOTES:
"Today is a day to remain firmly grounded"

"Sometimes the best defense is a good offense… Or is that the other way around?… Maybe they are just two sides of the same coin."


Another in a long line of cards which attempt to make new and interesting uses for weapons.

The shield's action is similar to bonewall. It actually creates a stack of 4 caltrops which get used up each time an attacker is damaged.

The ability of the weapon that got scrapped to create the caltrops will automatically be applied if possible.

In some cases this will have no effect… I.e. scramble, momentum, destroy,  will do nothing to creatures and rewind, lobotomize and snipe will have no effect when your opponent attacks with their weapon.

However, the other skills should all translate well.

In the case of morning star / morning glory, the caltrops become untargettable.

Does the shield disappear if all caltrop stacks are consumed (similar to bonewall)?
Also, if the attacking creature is untargetable, is the weapon's skill still applied?

Shouldn't this be extended to no airborne? After all, why should a dragonfly step on caltrops?

Besides, isn't Owl's Eye the only ranged thing in the game?

Why should a dragonfly die to flooding?

Short Bow|Longbow is also ranged.

Yes, but as seems to be so common, there just isn't enough room to fit both :(
I figured ranged made more sense here for a few reasons.
My biggest reason is that even flying creatures still have to get close to their target where as a ranged attacker just stands back and shoots.

Does the shield disappear if all caltrop stacks are consumed (similar to bonewall)?
Also, if the attacking creature is untargetable, is the weapon's skill still applied?
Yes, the shield disappears when the stack is consumed, just like bonewall.
Yes, the shield can afflict untargetable creatures as well. Its a shield, and all other shield effects function this way so this one will too. Shields have always been the primary method for dealing with pesky untargettable creatures.

Why should a dragonfly die to flooding?

Short Bow|Longbow is also ranged.
Also, so are any crusaders which have endowed a short bow/long bow or Owl's Eye/Eagle's Eye

Plus, this would also open up an avenue to help distinguish the range and flying statuses in the game a bit more.
