Shield Ward gives shield to the card in front of Sira, which can be used in a number of ways and I started to like this card more and more, an example for a great use it the target practice ruleset where all ranged and magic attacker receive the Snipe ability, targeting the first non melee attacker in the enemy team - the ruleset combination for this battle was prefect for it because magic was not allowed to be used as well so the Shield ability is extra effective. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nozem01/23t7DiySogwnfJi6s3xS5v7CNs2BWeSQRThgmK1Eh3fqrHTLQqtwkKfqPf5pxkqZ4xCBT.png) Although I was facing a max level player (well, only one card really was maxed out) my team was dominating theirs and because I was able to put the Taunt ability using my Archons Tactics on Mantaroth I now had two units with the Shield ability in the front of my team my opponent had to get through, that combined with my use of two Headwinds, lowering the ranged attack power made the other team very weak all doing only 1 damage at most so in the end they didn't even get to the unit that received Shield from Sira. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nozem01/23tRzfSJpRLpUsnynR14ShxJZdnM6fXWFyheuxYfcaPqmHEZ87cx8LXVJT3paJZVasjZm.png) [You can watch the battle unfold for yourself here.](https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_7e8887d211b9bb13aa27764484271d35?ref=nozem)
