ART: Zblader IDEA: kirbylover314 NOTES: Shield "types": DR: Reduces physical damage. (Shield, Jade Shield) Evasion: Has a chance of blocking an attack. (Fog Shield, Dusk Shield) Effect: Can do something to a creature when hit. (Procrastination, Ice Shield) Absorption: Absorbs an attack. (Bone Wall, Dissipation Shield) Shield can only gain the first new effect from each "type". So a Titanium Shield can gain 40% evade from a fog and -1 HP per attack to creatures from Fire Shield, but not 2 DR from Jade Shield. You are allowed to Durability durabilitied shields.

Spoiler for Old Version:

[bossitron]

what if the next shield that you play is the same type as the original shield and it is the first shield you play?

and wouldn't putting dims over a permanent shield mean infinite dims?

[blrawen]

Quite an interesting mechanic indeed, maybe it has a few quite OP combos, but all things considered it kinda looks quite fun and actually helpful.

The only question I have is how it behaves with "timed" shields and with bonewall, does the bonus just dissappear or does the new shield break?

for bossitron, as far as i understand, playing the same shield again won't grant any new stats, as the type is the same, also, think of AW, it doesn't let you play it unless you have a weapon, maybe this does the same except it does it with shields

[dawn to dusk]

Fog+boner wall makes for 40% chance of not lowering counter?

[blrawen]

Supposedly, it actually does exactly what you said, the thing is what happens with wings/dims or any shield with bone charges

[Espithel]

Whilst I have no problem with earth getting this card - not at all, definitely fits - myself, I'd like it in an element with more shields. Or, put more shields into earth.


Otherwise, nothing I would really worry about besides reflective shield on hope, so this card seems completely fine.

[kaempfer13]

dims and wings limit the duration of your next shield, however this might allow you to pack  12 copies (6 of which can be untargetable reflective shields) at the cost of 18 cards and some quanta. Aside from that there is not much reason to use this card, since DR doesnt stack and has diminishing returns with attack avoiding effects. Best way to use it would be to stack 2 avoid effects (dusk+ diss; fog + bonewall) or make a shield with a nice effect untargetetable and reflective (fog+ jade shield)

[Zawadx]

Overcosted. Double shields isn't worth that much investment.

Though I love cards which can buff perms

I'm going to decide that Dims and Wings will give a counter to normally-permanent shield so in 3/5 turns, the shield will disappear.

The dims and wings part I answered above. With bonewall, if all counters get used, the "gain two walls when a creature dies" part is removed, leaving the previous shield. And you are correct about playing the same shield won't grant any extra effects.

Fog+boner wall makes for 40% chance of not lowering counter?

Correct.

Well, what elements would you rather have it in if not earth?

Overcosted. Double shields isn't worth that much investment.

Would a -1 cost to both cards be good then?

[CrockettRocket]

Cost is fine, and should be in earth or gravity, either of which I hope gets more shields to make great uses for this card
Finally a good card in the CI&A that I personally like, +1 rep

[Devourer]

Great card idea, though I second lowering the cost. Very fun mechanic.

[flyingcat]

Fog won't stack with Dusk, right? Also, i can Durability shields that have already been durabilitied?
