Skull Shield | Skull Buckler

[Camoninja]

This looks interesting. I like the anti-creaturespam thing so Ferox, Eternal Phoenix and Fire Queen become a bit easier. I have to test it more before I say anything else though.

Interesting. Didn't expect this BIG buff, but buff sure was needed for that card. First impression for me is that maybe the cost 2|1 is too low (can't help comparing it to 7|7 Carapaces), but I'll need to test it first.
*edit*
Cost now 3|2 in trainer, still bit low compared to Carapaces, but that's the first small step into right direction.

1 HP creatures have 50% chance to be converted.
2 HP creatures have 25% chance to be converted.
3 HP creatures have 17% chance to be converted.
4 HP creatures have 9% chance to be converted.

Shouldn't 4HP creatures have a 12.5% chance to be converted?

.5/4=.125
.125 x 100%= 12.5%

For those of you who like to know the percentage:

HP - % (Mostly rounded)
1 - 50
2 - 25
3 - 17
4 - 13
5 - 10
6 - 8
7 - 7
8 - 6
9 - 5.5
10 - 5

1 HP creatures have 50% chance to be converted.
2 HP creatures have 25% chance to be converted.
3 HP creatures have 17% chance to be converted.
4 HP creatures have 9% chance to be converted.

Shouldn't 4HP creatures have a 12.5% chance to be converted?

.5/4=.125
.125 x 100%= 12.5%

I realized my mistake and you ninja'd my correction.

it's official...
the next master of fire vs master of death in the next mono vs mono tournament will likely be like this:
master of death bans explosion
master of fire bans skull shield

master of death: "aw, dammit..."
master of fire: "i am not stupid, you know..."

Not another card that can kill my Immortals

This is a pretty good not to OP but just right kinda, might have to start making some legion of super skele's especially with the new skeleton buff.

[doublecross]

Does an immaterial creature effected by this keep immaterial?

[Boingo]

laugh my head off at the Immortals turning into Immortal skeletons.

This was the first thing I thought about.  It seems there are lots of nerfs for these days.  2 cards Aether can hardly use (Mitosis, Acceleration) and now this.  Hopefully there will be something nice coming for Aether soon (and no, I didn't overlook Silence.)


One positive:  it may be better than Permafrost shield for FG-grinding.  Here it makes mincemeat out of Divine Glory:

Umm...why is it creating upgraded skeletons?  Is that an unupped Skull Buckler?  Because it makes no sense at all for an upped Skull Buckler to create creatures that can do damage through it of an unupped one creates creatures that can't.

[Onizuka]

That appears to be an upped Skull Buckler.

[Higurashi]

They both create upped skeletons if the attacking creature is upped.
