Shields were invented because Face Block is USELESS.
Shield Block is a warrior spell card, from the Basic set. It grants the warrior 5 Armor and causes them to draw a card.
How to get
Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:
- Two copies of Shield Block were a reward for raising a warrior to level 8.
- Two Golden copies of Shield Block were a reward for raising a warrior to levels 28 and 30.
Strategy
Shield Block is a cheap draw card when you consider the 5 Armor it provides. It also synergizes well with Shield Slam, allowing for a 4 mana 5 damage removal.
If you are in a control vs control match, or any other match expected to go into Fatigue, it is usually a good idea to not play Shield Block if you draw it late. The extra draw will put you further into Fatigue than your opponent, eventually negating the Armor you gained.
