And I thought I made ridiculous nerf threads.

Nah, you just did the same.

On topic:
I like that berf idea. It gives the bolt a way around the shield, and at the same time, reduce the "self-bolting" use of the shield as a way to go around reflectives. Self bolting is a ridiculous abuse of the mechanics IMO. It makes the shield counter itself.

should i make a new thread with my berf idea and a poll because its ridiculous to talk about what IMO is a buff in a nerf this card thread?

People are more receptive of berfs in buff threads.

is that a yes? i think i should make a reflective shield thread in buff this card with my berf idea, and im not sure if you are supporting that or saying i shouldnt.

Yes. (but use an existing thread if one exists)

This is a berf thread. However due to people ignoring the comments, the berf discussion has been moved to the buff thread. I am disappointed in the low reading comprehension.

i was talking to yalidae becuase i thought even if he believed it needs a nerf his post was "overenthusiastic" about getting one. also, no ones posting in my buff/berf thread anyway.

i think that reflective shields ability to remove bolt stall decks is a good thing. why cant bolt stall decks just add creatures? a deck that only revolves around bolts deserves to be counterable. frankly reflective shield is pretty weak.
berf idea:increase unupped cost by 1. give it one damage resistance. remove untargetable. add a bonewall style PC resist where unupped takes 2 PCs to remove and upped takes 3. or you could give it more counters like 4/8 and have resisting spell damage also remove a counter.
this needs more balancing but i think if someone helped me balance it like that it would make reflective shield a better card.

That berf would completely change many decks that use reflective shield. I like PC protection, but I like reflective shield's immateriality too.
