See Challenge # 112.

I wanted something to represent the shield itself, and a Ghostly Prison variant seemed inevitable. I don't want too many of those, but it seemed like a good place for one.

I'm not quite sure about the ability. I wanted something that ramped up slowly over time and wasn't quite always on, and many alternatives were too wordy. But I don't like how much this encourages neither player to play spells (unless someone has a big ramp advantage and locks the opponent out of combat entirely).

A twist on Cover of Winter, perhaps?

Ah, good idea, that could work.

I expected someone to represent that field somehow. Interesting card it would go straight in my Angus Mackenzie EDH deck. :-)
