FG deck has not been included in the poll:But I did have deck description. It wasn't exactly 100 words long, but 26 word "poem". Oh well, that deck was maybe too evil anyway.

or 0, I don't care, but do not nerf its attack. 
I haven't had the time to try this much yet, but if the cost isn't going to be raised too high, I'm seriously thinking whether to change Permafrost Shield from my anti-FG deck for this. With that 3|2 cost, this is probably even more imbalanced than Solar Shield, i.e. this may be the best shield by counting {effect}/{cost}.okay that is just so bad. Nobody will ever use this anyway.That's a pretty hasty generalization to make. It's also not at all true; several people have found significantly greater use from this shield now than before.
Now, to give Other some CC and some PC spell so all elements have everything. These Other cards are seriously taking away from the uniqueness of elements, especially Healing elements (Light, Life). I'm starting to think Other is not beneficial at all for the game.Healing elements:
Wise words again. I've changed my mind on this card - putting this card into the game would be a bad thing.Now, to give Other some CC and some PC spell so all elements have everything. These Other cards are seriously taking away from the uniqueness of elements, especially Healing elements (Light, Life). I'm starting to think Other is not beneficial at all for the game.^^ This.
I think the best "solution" (although I hate that term) is to make the upped version still only block 1 damage but cost less. 2 blocked damage for elements like Fire, Gravity, Aether, Darkness ... well it makes all the other damage-blocking shields partially obsolete. As I said in a previous post I would not create an "other" card that poisons you any more than this.
The reason that "other" weapons work well is that they have no special ability, whereas every single elemental weapon is primarily used because of its special ability. And there is no element that lacks any damage differential from its weapon (healing yourself is essentially the same thing as damaging the opponent). If 4 or 5 elements' weapons did ZERO damage to the opponent, then something like Longsword would be bad for game balance too. That's what I'm looking at with this shield.
I hate to sound like I am against every new card. Basically I think Elements is a fantastic game precisely because of the excellent balance between elements. It's the game's best quality. Some of the new cards are wonderful for this ... Catapult, Schrodinger's Cat, Cloak, Crusader ... these are all wonderful new additions. Sometimes we forget to stop and compliment Zanzarino on the wonderful aspects of the game! But nonetheless I do think that this shield is unnecessary.
IF you play this correctly, it's win rate is VERY high. And it's way more fun than CCYB to be sure. It's only problem is, I never had a game run for less than 30 turns....never had a game run for less than 30 turns.

Yes, and SoD and SoG are banned from almost every single PvP event that exists for this very reason.Meh.You Sir have a very good point there. Unfortunately this practically comes down to the same thematic fact that
This is the sort of card that makes elements less unique. Not having a shield that blocks damage is supposed to be a quality of Fire, for example. I don't see the point of this shield really except to make everything more average.shouldn't have life-gain either, but yet it can use SoD and SoG.
Imagine a card costing 3-other quanta that gives the enemy 2 poison counters. Sure, it's less efficient than Death's version but wouldn't it be bad for game balance to give access to poison to other elements?
