This card uses both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters; this is generally frowned upon. Three other cards use +1/+1 counters, but no others use -1/-1 counters. Can anyone think of a way to template this without using -1/-1 counters?
EDIT: It's just the one card. I think it will be fine.
Opinions: do you think that it's OK to have both colored and colorless artifacts and artifact creatures in the same set?
Also: what about mixing +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters? The following cards utilize +1/+1 counters: Adipose Pill, Cannibalize, Five Rounds Rapid, and Krynoid. Only Adipose Pill uses -1/-1 counters, but I can't think of any other way to template the ability without them.
EDIT: It's just the one card. I think it will be fine.
I have no idea what cost would be appropriate for this ability. In Limited, it's not very good, but imagine it in 2HG or Archenemy.

; Floating Shield can sacrifice itself for a bonus for 
; Pentarch Ward is a cantrip for 
; Pledge of Loyalty has potentially more colors for 
; and Ward of Lights has "substance" for
