That's a funny card, yet balanced and actually useful, too. It would combo well with Dimensional Shield in aether, too, so that when it attacks you, you aren't hurt. You'd just have to be careful which shields you used, if any. For instance, you probably wouldn't want to play fire buckler, spine carapace, or permafrost shield in the same deck as this guy. Putting Liquid Shadow on him would also remove the drawback :p
