hmm. 50% is a lot.

needs testing.
My default opinion of a new card is OP. Your job as a card creator will have to be to convince me otherwise.
Happy to help with questions regarding upped PvP
Thanks for voting Blarp as your Favorite PvP Deck of 2012!

hmm. 50% is a lot.

needs testing.

It averages out to 33% over three turns, and 50% is what Dusk lets through anyway. Unless you start chaining them every second turn, in which case it is 50% at the same quanta cost per turn as chaining Dims.

But it probably still needs testing.

It still needs testing to see if the lower cost and protection against both attacks and spells is sufficient to make up for the weaker miss chance.

Like it a lot. As mentioned it might need some testing, but my feeling says it's pretty balanced. The art is kinda.... strange. Not in a bad way. Just unusual. ^^

Kinda weird that it reduces spell damage, because spell damage is basically slightly weaker momentum that can be reflected. Though I suppose as long as momentum goes through it, it's fine. Interesting idea, I support it.

Important question: how can I go about testing this? I'd like to put some time into this card idea if I can to see how far it goes.

Dusk Mantle: 6 :darkness 50% blocked
Fog Shield: 2 :air 40% blocked
Orbital Shield: 4 :gravity 33% blocked

By logic, your shield should cost around negative two. I think fog shield needs a nerf.
