I’ve just published a new feature on Decktester to make it super easy to see how many shields (How many times a support gem can be matched before it is destroyed) a support has.

It looks like this:



Thanks to this and other communities, all cards in the database now have a shield value! Thanks everyone for all the help

I know Alhamaret’s Archive and Starfield of Nyx are 4.

3

Starfield of Nyx = 4
Zendikar’s Roil = 4
Prairie Stream = 2
Retreat to Emeria = 4
Retreat to Hagra = 4
Shambling Vent = 3
Rogue’s Passage = 4
Shadows of the Past = 2

4

Prairie Stream = 2
Canopy Vista = 2
Smoldering Marsh = 2
(These are three of the “dual”-land supports - I bet it’s safe to presume the other two are also a shield of 2)

Sword of the Animist = 2
Elemental Bond = 2
Nissa’s Pilgrimage = 3
Retreat to Kazandu = 4

5

We have values for every support card except 5, and those 5 are all new cards that have not yet been released! Thanks everyone!

6

Did Gideon’s Reproach get changed? I played it extensively when messing around with Starfield, and it was 9, not 10.

7

Oath of chandra is frequently played by tyrant of valakut encounter in the event. Oath of nissa and oath of jace are also played in some of the other encounters… i think all of these had 3 shields each.

I have also faced Captain’s claws once, did not think to note.

We’ll know for sure soon enough.

8

Yeah, you asked a day too late as I seemed to have played against Captain’s Claws a bunch the day before.

Oh, FYI your color tagging on Brood Butcher is wrong.

9

Fixed, thanks!

10

I actually just guessed about that one. I knew it was high and figured they’d make it the same as the other super high ones (10). Updated to 9. Thanks!

11

These are the shield values for the 5 remaining supports, along with the event enemies that use them just for reference:

Captain’s Claws 2 (Jori En, Ruin Diver; Sylvan Advocate; Drana’s Chosen; Reality Smasher)
Oath of Chandra 3 (Mina and Denn, Wildborn; Tyrant of Valakut)
Oath of Gideon 3 (Munda’s Vanguard)
Oath of Jace 3 (Sphinx of the Final Word)
Oath of Nissa 3 (Mina and Denn, Wildborn; World Breaker; Sylvan Advocate)

That’s all of them! Thanks everyone for all the help!
