Shard of Patience | Shard of Patience

to make this card more vercitile i suggest it be made a permanent.
when it is in play your creatures don't attack but gain +1,+1 per turn (+2,+2 for water creatures).
ability of permanent: discard this card (cost 0)

I agree that this is a nice idea, but then what's to stop the opponent using enchant/protect artifact on it and rendering all of your creatures unable to attack for the rest of the game?

I would imagine Protecting the shard would be like Protecting an Unstable Gas. You can still blow up an UG if it's protected; this should be the same.

Appears like:

SoP is now a permanent, and acts at the end of the turn. It doesn't stack.

[Nepycros]

o.o dafuq?
So it's like a Improved Improved Blessing at the end of every turn if you have anything in the Flooded spots? Dude, that's...

I kind of wish Zanz would just scrap this and try again.

Since abilities can still be used every turn it can be quite useful for Chrysaoras/Physalia when combined with, say SoSac, to stall. Haven't found any deck where Deadly Poisons aren't more efficient though xD

I tested things. On Speed poison, it is purely not working.
On Fractal Water Swarmer (Some physalias, some uliths) it finds enough use. But it still sucks.

This.

Although the new Theseus Ship by Xeno could make for an interesting deck.

I think the primary strength of this is to counter sosac in a non poison deck

In other words, meet your new purify?

Very specific counter to a very strong and otherwise not easily beatable strategy. Water got the shaft again...

Doesn't work that well. SoP buffs the Singularities... and you need more card space.
