Voted Hope, Gravity Shield and Bone Wall. I suppose hope and bone wall are pretty favoured. I picked gravity shield because it is a conditional shield--I mean it blocks 100% of damage originating from creatures over 5hp. I hope some new card(s) will be introduced that makes something like Yaladilae's heavy quintet a viable anti FG deck concept.

If I had to pick one shield, it would be permafrost every time.  For a second shield I find gravity shield a good compliment to permafrosy shield as one or the other will usually fulfil you shield needs for a battle.  If I had to pick a third shield, Jade sheild is a solid sheild that is immaterial and reflects damage from spells making it a great utility shield.

I voted dim. and hope. Hope shuts everything down and dim is perfect for 3 turns of stalling

Diamond shield is also a good one, since it isn't vulnerable to creature control but it stops a good chunk of damage. And skull buckler/solar buckler need some love.
A shield not vulnerable to creature control? ::)

Hope. RoL and Firefly are both fragile.

Hope is the only shield with this problem, but therefor its immaterial. And only 2 or 3 (upped/unupped) creatures make Hope strong enough for its quanta costs. Also the problems are rather Firestorm, Thunderstorm, FireShield and Spin Carapace than any single spell considering that you will probably play Hope with a deck using Fractals. Furthermore nobody will waste all his single spells destroying RoL´s if there are still stronger creature on the field. In addition you can biolum. Dragons and other creatures that arent fragile. I wouldnt consider "not vulnerable to creature control" as an plus factor at all.

I prefer dusk shield since even dragons have a chance to be blocked completely. The only problem is when someone has a large amount of relatively powerful creatures.

I didnt say Hope is the only immaterial. I did say its the only shield "vulnerable to creature control", but therefor not vulnerable to perm control.
