Auto-Shield

[Aeternalis the Abyssal Alchemist]

I've talked about this before, but I don't like Auto-Shield. There is nothing 'auto' about it.
I think Boot Sequence should be deprecated and it's function given to Auto-Shield.

Otherwise, make it a Power with one of the following effect:
- Gain 'NextTurnBlock' equal to the DMG taken each turn(like a more powerful SelfForming Clay).

Okay now that is an Autoshield I can agree with.

Gain block equal to [half] the attack damage received last turn.

Remove [ ] on upgrade.

Blocked damage still adds to this total.

The cost might need to go up to 2 though... Or make it 1/4(1/2)

Hey, i like my shield
What about changing its name to Manual-Shield and leaving it alone?

Because right now its a marginally better Leap with that only works under a certain condition.

Ethereal
When this card is Exhausted, gain 11 [15] block

Now it's a worse Genetic Algorithm that's easier to play.

Auto-Shield is a strong and effective but balanced card. 11(15) Block for 1 Energy without any combos is a great rate for the largely manageable condition that it must be your first blocking card of the turn. Just remember that it doesn't work with Echo Form.
