ART: patchx94 IDEA: ShadedKnight NOTES: Version 3: Unupped 5 Upped 4 Version 2: Unupped 2 Upped 4 Version 1: Unupped 1 Upped 1 I don't think everyone understands this card. With a single shield, you can use as many shield bashes as you can on that one shield until it is destroyed (the end of the turn after the first shield bash was played). So you can theoretically use 6 shield bashes with 1 shield. How the coding may work: You know how phase shield has a "3" counter next to it? When shield bash is used, it can change the number of the counter to "1" if they current number in the counter is greater than 1 or nonexistent. SERIES:

So I would sacrifice my shield for a maximum of 16 damage? I'm not sure that's favorable. Perhaps don't make it twice the damage, just make it a regular amount of damage, and your shield isn't destroyed.

[ShadedKnight]

Well, you'll actually be able to use another on it the next turn, although I'm not sure if there should be something to stop a chain of them just continuing as long as you have another shield bash... ex: I just used a shield bash. 1 turn till my shield is destroyed. I just used shield bash, another 1 turn till my shield is destroyed.

Nah, i don't believe chaining should be allowed :/
I don't think it'd make sense in the code.

The number of times you can use shield bash is the number of times you can use it within the two turns from the first shield bash to when the shield is destroyed.
So, 6 shield bashes in hand + 6 quanta of any time + upped hope = 96 damage in one turn.
Of course, you either need epic stalling, fast draws, or both.

Maaan, it's good for unupped, only sometimes for upped. Really, make it regular damage.

zamboza, i think the general community would disagree with you
most ppl think it's OP the way you can do 96 damage with 1 shield and 6 random quanta.
I, of course, am still waiting for someone to make a deck to prove this.

Why not an "animate shield"?

[LongDono]

Though I think the card is broken I like it?
I can build all sorts of fun decks with this.
The cost should go up though.... really needs to go up... The unupped should cost 2-3 maybe? Upped should cost 4 of any quanta. Not saying that the card would be, or would not be broken then but it would help balance it alot.

Because that is a different idea all together.

LongDono, make at least one deck is too good because of shield bash. I'm sure it will have either some weaknesses, vulnerability to rushes, or both.

If you can convince me that it's OP, I'd be happy to change it to 2 4 . I'll discuss it with ShadedKnight, because if he wants to change it now, I will.

Maybe I should do 5 upped, 4 unupped
I'll have to ask ShadedKnight though
