Nice art and nice card.

By "Cannot Stack" do you mean that you can only get 1 turn protection per death no matter how many gatekeepers are in play, or that you can't get more turns of protection while currently protected (i.e. do the gatekeepers not stack or do the turns of protection not stack)?

If you can get more than 1 turn of protection at a time then this + fractal sparks is a little over powered.

If you made that image then I'm really impressed, but if you used a picture you found for the card art then you need to cite the source. (not trying to be rude, just a lot of people don't know how to cite artwork)

Does momentum bypass it?

If gatekeeper is killed do you get a turn of protection?

Not quite sure what you mean by "link magic" but if you just copy/paste a link into a post a clickable link will appear. If that isn't what you're after just find another post that does what you're looking for and click "quote" then you can see what code they typed.

the mechanic sounds ok but its merely a soft dim shield and very situational.
did you really make the art?

by stack i mean both turns and amount, so if you fractal sparks and let them all die, you'd still only get one turn of protection, and momentum would bypass (its basically a weak dim shield as Flayne says)

artwork here: http://www.kongregate.com/collabs/art/piepieple/gate-keeper?sort=by_newest (http://www.kongregate.com/collabs/art/piepieple/gate-keeper?sort=by_newest) check the author's name if you still dont believe me.

and dont worry about the link magic :P figured out how to do it at last (the link being under the word, so like clicking bob would link you somewhere)

ahh, it looks a lot clearer when in full size.
I doubted because of the style of artwork you made that i saw prior to this, but now in full size your art style is a lot more evident in this picture, so even without looking at authors name i can tell you made it. thanks for clarifying.
don`t worry im not the art police, i was just curious  :)

How do you put your cards up in that format?

This feels to powerful to me when combined with Cat...

Schrodinger's cat?

Yeah, if you just use a cat every turn it's invulnerability for just about ever =O

Wow! I would've never thought of that, nice idea!

Idea passes for the Crucible, but is 'Shift' a passive or an active ability? If it's the former, this + Mitosis with Quint to guard it makes it practically fodder for CC, while giving you near invulnerability without the use of a easily destroyed shield. :o

You should definitely lower the cost though in my opinion... Dimensional Shield is 6 :aether for 3 turns of invulnerability, but this costs 8 (I get that 3 ATK adds the 3 :aether quanta onto the cost), which is pretty expensive to use. Just an idea though. :)
