it just seems to really devalue cards like morning star and titan by comparison.

Far from it:
Morningstar starts off Immaterial.
Titan starts off with Momentum.
This card doesn't start off with either and self-destructs the moment you play a shield.

ok i get you, i was mistaken on the cost of the other weapons.
its a very powerful weapon, it just seems to be too good of one in a few instances.
maybe im over thinking it.

i still think it should give some defense of some kind. in fact i think most two handed weapons should unless they are purely offensive.


also, in terms of power, this is much closer to a greataxe than a halberd. maybe a pike.

Unupgraded, it it is the only shield that provides 2 defense.

My facepalm powers are tingling. If you think a card is weak please state why, and make a post in the buff thread to make it more powerful.

Also, this.

Sorry if this has already been countered.  Other than an immo/animate/endow/something/rush, would this be used? I'd rather have a shield that  saves 10 HP per turn rather than a weapon that deals 2 or 3 more damage on average.  Elemental weapons can be used in duo's or mono's or other flying weapon decks.  I wouldn't vote for a card that would only be used in one type of deck.

Rushes don't use shields; many rushes out there will love this.  Especially immolation rushes, since they leave a lot of random quanta on the table.

Nice weapon, it's unique and potentially more useful than existing 'Other' weapons.  I'd make the unupgraded do 7 damage at least, since Morning Star already does 7 + is Immaterial, whereas this has a drawback.

This costs less than Morning Star.
