i don't understand, its been over a month, why is this overpowered piece of trash shield not removed yet?
I hope you're joking.

If you aren't, please make a shardless deck with this that is good enough in competitive PVP, in which there is a good reason to use this shield over any other shield and where it's overpoweredness can be exploited.

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.
I think you underestimate the degree of card disadvantage involved in destroying a PC protected shield. In most cases it will act like immaterial.

*smells silliness*

BTW, if reflective shield gets bonewall-style protection, it will still stop bolt decks once it hits the field, and self-bolting will still exist. +DR and return damage would be nice. No self bolting and bolt/UG decks still have a chance.

+DR and return damage is an option on the poll in my buff thread.
