ART: by victor2008 (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1182568) IDEA: Zawadx NOTES: Similar to Hope, but reduces damage by 1 for each spell cast by your opponent after this shield is played. Here 'spell' means a spell card played directly from the hand, or the attack of a spell-damage dealing creature. Note that abilities do not count as spells. SERIES:

This card destroys certain decks nearly completely.

But hey, please make it reduce spell damage (from psion, and shard of wisdom) as well. Would make the card more viable, and a good counter against those shard of wisdom. Would also fit in the aether element thematically and is a fitting choice for that other effect:

Also, if it wouldn't reduce spell damage, that affect would be pretty useless. (And thinking of aether dragon with 14 spell damage, even if it is reduced by 1 every attack, it's still strong...)

I agree with Keolino :) I vote for adding spell damage :)

Maybe some examples?(cause I didn't have any deck in mind when making this, and was curious)

Originally this lobotomized a random enemy creature per turn, so that balanced that other ability. Though reducing spell damage is also good. Updating.

Decks which would be pretty screwed? I recognized by now that you would need to pair it with protect artifact to actually make it like that. Just think of Cremation-Shard of Bravery decks, Ghostmare decks (witch use nightmare, reverse time, and steal as spells) and probably Supernova-based speedbows (because they have many "weak" creatures with attack of about 5 and some spells (Supernovas, sometimes SoSe), also, Sosac and SoD are also spell cards (wouldn't hurt poison dials, but there are others witch use those cards)
