I think that the fact that it is only a 2 shield support really balances this card. With the amount of gem conversion available in standard destroying 2 shields is really easy. Besides, you already have to pack enough support removal on your decks since FBLTHP made The Prismatic Bridge available to everyone in the game. Will it be an annoying card? Sure, but I don't think it is as OP by itself as other cards.You can pair it with Nyx to make it more annoying but we already have a more annoying legacy combo with Insidious Will and we survived
Keyler said: Hixus is really a pain when AI cast 2 and appear in a corner where you cant touch it for the rest of the game but at least you can use several spells to destroy it, even spells that remove all from the game, but if you don let cast the cards wich are designed to remove supports, I think will be a real problem for lot of players. Game sttoper cards are always not very funny and in my opinion this one could be annoying, but well I just wrote that post to see the other people opinion.
Bil said: Considering the main option to destroy a support IS casting a spell ... This card clearly has a risky design. Besides, the 2 shields argument IS far from being convicing because it IS really common to have several copies of the same cards in hand and this support will quickly end with 3-4 Shields. And that's only 10 mana to Make an oponent unable to destroy creatures and supports. Honestly, this support should be a 1shield support like hixus to get close to a balance.

BongoTheGrey said: Test of Talents only prevents your spells from gaining mana but if you already had a fully charged spell in your hand you can cast it. Sphinx's Decree prevent you from casting them at all.So if Sphinx's Decree enters the board you cannot destroy it with spells at all. If Test of Talents enters you can easily destroy it with a spell if it was fully charged before
