AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 To those who don't know what "Taunt" does: it prevents your opponent from attacking you directly, or any of your monsters that don't have Taunt. A (probably poor) search in here doesn't seem to show any other Hearthstone threads in here, so this feels a little weird. Anyway, on my first day playing this game, this card struck me as really good. Probably out of pure noobdum, I've been running it @2 in everything so far. 5 HP is enough to cover at least two attacks most of the time, and given how he has Taunt, this lets your squishier monsters survive for a little while longer. Plus, 3 attack means that anything your opponent threw at it would take some nasty damage. The Druid seems to do it better with an Oasis Snapjaw + Mark of the Wild, but that's a two-card combo that costs more. So yeah, do I already suck at this game?

Kyng Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 No, you don't, at all.In games like Hearthstone, you need cards like this Troll as a Training Wheel and, in many cases, the Shieldmasta is a solid, good card in many cases. It is fair value, even if it gets silenced and loses the taunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 3/5 for 4 is decent on it's own. Give it taunt and it's a really good blocker. Only thing that's considered better non-class wise (and in the commons) is Yeti, which is purely for the 4 power. So taunt vs power is what seperates the 2.

Tormented Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Shieldmasta is considered one of the best value cards in the game, he is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hearthstone is a CCG not a TCG GTFO jk Anyway, decent enough card, more or less a staple in my early decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 One of the more respectable Taunts in the game. I mean, what else do we have? Voidwalker is Hero-specific, Goldshire Footman sucks, etc. etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mido9 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 One of the more respectable Taunts in the game. I mean, what else do we have? Voidwalker is Hero-specific, Goldshire Footman sucks, etc. etc Defender of Argus! Also it's really good and can often 2for1 but there's just no room for it in a lot of decks over other things.

OmegaWave Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you don't have other options like the aforementioned Defender of Argus, Shieldmasta is a VERY solid option for just about any deck in need of a Taunter. Mana cost is respectable, 5 life is very bulky during the Late-Early Game, and 3 Attack destroys most early game spammy minions. I really like it. I always play atleast 1 if the space allows for it.
