NOTES:
Yes, I do have LEDs lying around to photograph and modify.

Following past electrical component card ideas in :aether , this goes due to the connection to electricity, which in turn fits lightning.

And for those who don't know, diodes prevent the reverse flow of a current.  The current in this case would be that found in the energy used to cast spells and use abilities on your side, leaving you and your opponent to only target things on the opposing side.

This also affects spells that do not require exact targeting, such as Pandemonium, Shard of Sacrifice, and Miracle.

So, practical uses:
- Prevents healing.
- Prevents buffing
- Prevents Fractal

why do you feel this needs a duration? it affects a pretty narrow range of strategies (though those it does affect, it completely destroys) and you have to predict them, which in a lot of cases is really difficult.  at the very least, i think it should last longer?

Too lower the cost.  I also felt a reason to make it so you needed multiple copies.  But, aside from that, and as OldTrees pointed out, it's like a two-turn soft Silence.
