Details
This ability is featured on creatures, cross gears, and spells.
It enables you to put a card under one of your Shields. This does not increase your shields; this only puts a card under your shield and the entire card stack is considered one shield. Therefore, if the shield with the stack is broke, the entire stack is returned to your hand. However, any Shield Triggers that are in the stack of shield cards will be activated at the same time, making them good for shield trigger oriented decks.
