ART: OdinVanguard IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today will be illuminating - Even enlightening." "Judgement will come swiftly by your hand today, but will the verdict be mercy or retribution? You Decide!" One of the primary motivations for this card is to promote players to add more than one or two shields to a deck. It gives players a way to build a deck around multiple shields (which will make arena goers and deck designers quite happy I think) Stacking increases the maximum amount of luxe that can be stored, but not the amount that gets stored per shield use. (Although if a player had an upped and an unupped stack, they would get 2 lux per shield use) Shield use means any time a shield effect is triggered. I.e. any time your shield blocks, reduces incoming damage, causes a miss, etc. Effectively, it will provide 1 lux per attacker for most damage reduction shields. When the owner clicks on this card and then picks a target, their current shield is destroyed (even an "untargetable" one) and the target either takes damage if it is an enemy or is healed if it is an ally. Players count as valid targets. I'm undecided on how to handle wings, and dim shield. Right now, I'm leaning to having the damage / healing scaled by the percent of remaining turns. I would have added that on the card but it doesn't fit, so I'm not sure if should be implemented or not since players won't be informed of it. SERIES:

Very interesting. I have a feeling that it will often reach the max very quickly though.

Also, unupped table says max 9 but image says 7.

1 lux will be worth 1 HP of healing/damage?

It should be 7, thanks for catching that.

1 lux will be worth 1 HP of healing/damage?

Yes, effectively. If used on its owner or opposing player, its akin to adding 1 DR to the shield (in terms of HP advantage) with a threshold of 7/9 per stack.
It can also be used to target creatures, so it has other applications.

I'm not sure what a good balance is in terms of damage / healing per lux (e.g. per shield action) so I went for the simplest scaling.

I'm open to changing it if needed, though it will be tricky to fit in the card.
