ART: http://www.gearheadhaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/viper1.jpg IDEA: karis NOTES: (round down) everyone in this case mean you, your opponent, your creature and your opponent creature. SERIES: Valley of the Damn?

It's very totally overpowered. death decks have most poison in the so this + dead poison and you get 3 damage reduction shield and imagine it with chrysaoras undefeatable combo

maybe divided by 3 or 4?

[Kael Hate]

Lol, your shield is the top of a flying Tricycle L5R honour counter.

The Chuda Clan to be specific.

[OldTrees]

What if you change it so it only counts the poison on you and your creatures?

+1

4 or 5, I think.

Change the description to make it more clear. "poison status that everyone have"?

^^^

i'm write it on the note   and in this game  have so many thing that don't clear in it description, adrenaline, mutation or even nymph tear that don't write what will you get when you use it.   am i must write everything in the card?

if change it to be 'you and your creature'  that will be bad   cause you can use poison to you self

then, i'm think i'm will divided it .   but i don't know how is it suit this thing,   if it be 5  i must decrease it cost alot

I think a cheap shield with "you and your creatures" would make intresting duo combos
  Poisoned Voodoo Dolls
  Poisoned Archangels
  Self Poison and Empathetic Bonds / Shards of Gratitude

maybe have it be opponent's poison / X + your poison?

[Kuroaitou]

If this card makes it live, EVERYONE would want to have Purify. 

Otherwise, I suggest you follow finkel's suggestion of having the 'X' be equal to the amount of poison counters divided by a certain number (probably 4-5 for the regular version, 3-4 for the upgraded one), and have it round DOWN to prevent confusion. With Arsenic, the various Scorpions, Deadly Poison, and the buff to Pufferfish, this card would have amazing synergy as a whole, and is much harder to counter than Hope (excluding Permanent control).

...you should probably fix the link on your first art image though. It doesn't seem to be working. ^^;

maybe change it from a shield to a heal. so instead of blocking a possible 20-30 damage easy make it heal you 20-30 damage if you have a death mark?

[wizelsnarf]

Rephrase like this so it sounds more correct:

Shield: Physical damage is reduced by X. X is the number of poison counters everyone has.

Or

Shield: Physical Damage is reduced by X. X is the combined number of poison counters each player has.



As for the card. I think it is way OP. Need to think of a way to balance it. Maybe if a player plays purify the shield is destroyed?

If you have a poison rush deck, this would be too OP.
