edit: misread the card.  It's fine as is; I think it's reasonably costed for the effect it gives, and it's definitely in the right element.

so... Wings and this makes a 4-turn impenetrable defense (not counting momentum)? well, i suppose it does create an interesting synergy...

It is a shield... I can take that out of the table if necessary.

I cannot understand why this lasts 4 turns when Wings lasts 5.
Wings blocks 52 creatures and 13 weapons.
Arched Wall blocks 31 creatures and 2 weapons.
Also, Wings can count on Spiders and Recluses that blocks even more creatures (removing Airborne), this shield cannot benefit of a similar sinergy.

So this shield should lasts the same number of turns and cost less than Wings OR lasts more turns than Wings while costing the same quanta.

Just a note, the similar Wall | Great Wall (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,26843.0.html) is doing okay, but not great at all, in Earth's Crucible.  Yours is different enough, but as it is, the community at large seems to view Airborne status as a collective 'Meh.'

Edit: misread card.  Yours is way different than mine...though seems thematically that it should be in a different element.  Why would non-airborne creatures be allowed to hit you in Earth?

Earth is the opposite of Air. This is teh opposite of Wings.

I cannot understand why this lasts 4 turns when Wings lasts 5.
Wings blocks 52 creatures and 13 weapons.
Arched Wall blocks 31 creatures and 2 weapons.
Also, Wings can count on Spiders and Recluses that blocks even more creatures (removing Airborne), this shield cannot benefit of a similar sinergy.

So this shield should lasts the same number of turns and cost less than Wings OR lasts more turns than Wings while costing the same quanta.

You've got a point there. I think I"ll change it to 3 | 2 for 4 | 5 turns.

Edit: Updated.

Congratulations on making it to the next level.

Woohoo! First card I've gotten to the forge! Thank you all for your support, and I hope it will continue.

Now all we need is a earth skill that lets you make creatures fly

[Drake_XIV]

That doesn't seem thematic.  Wouldn't it be an skill/spell to make flying?  You know, add to synergy.

Yep. A good example would be this: Fly | Fly.
