Hmm... Definitely unique. Not quite sure what to say past that.

The unupgraded version may be a little situational, since most unupgraded creatures have an attack of less than 10.

Since the attack blocked is guaranteed to be high, why not use a percentage reduction instead?

Several dragons do

(versions of this card in parenthesis... I'm only including unupgraded versions of dragons)
Dragons that aren't affected by grav shield but are by this: Amethyst (both), Bone (both), Black (both), Crimson (both), Devonian (both)

Dragons that are affected by grav shield but not by this: Collosal (unpugraded only), Stone (unupgraded only), Air (unupgraded), Ice (unupgraded), Phase (unupgraded)

Dragons affected by both: Light (both), Emerald (both), Ice (upgraded), Massive (upgraded), Stone (upgraded), Air (upgraded), Phase (upgraded only)

Let me know if I missed or misplaced any.

I was thinking about doing something like this, except for blocking all damage completely. Only now do I realize that would have been insanely overpowered... Buff the opponent's creatures! BUFF THEM I SAY
