*Edit* This post is from when Patience was a SPELL. It is waaaay better now it's a perm
Since getting them, I've been trying my hardest to make earnest use of the Shard of Patience.
The card is under discussion
here (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,31451.0.html). I do not know if it may yet be revised and given new abilities, but this is it as it stands.
The deck I've been testing (in trainer) is based on Scaredgirl's Got Poison? (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,365.0.html).

What the Shard of Patience does is offer valuable protection to your Physalias so that it may not be necessary to Freeze, say, an Otyugh. A single Shard will also double the extra damage output from the Physalia, and with two Shards, at 6/6, they start looking pretty beastly for little critters.
But I still don't know if the Shard is really that useful.
Opinions please
If you were going to make this a cleverer poison deck (with Shields or whatever) do you think there would still be a place for these cards?
And also, does anyone have any other bright ideas for this card? (btw, it works on both burrowed and immortal creatures!)
