I suggest Mirror Shields reflect the damage from Trebuchet. It's direct damage, and Mirror Shields don't need any more nerfs.

It just...doesn't seem very logical. And this is the place where trebuchet shines. To go through shields. It doesn't need a nerf, either.

I think that it should function the same as UG. Their mechanics are very similar, so either both should be reflected or neither.

Zanz wanted to keep it thematic.

The idea of reflection shields is that they reflect Spells, or energy. He just didn't think it would make sense that you could block, not to mention send back a flying mass of creature with a mirror.

Going through shields is one of catapult's perks. It's already not that strong; it doesn't need to be any weaker.

To fix this, Trebuchets should have the momentum symbol on the card. That way we know that it goes through shields. then xdude wont have an excuse to buff :light some more :P

Mirror Shield doesn't reflect Trebuchet becaue it doesn't actually target the opponent. Simple as.

It targets the opponent in the same way that UG does.

Basically, I don't like exceptions. As it stands currently, mirror shield blocks all direct damage except Trebuchet (and poison, but that's a different story).

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if there was something to indicate that it functioned this way, but I'd rather the game was just consistent.
