D2 Shield is an interesting enough Trap but you will
very likely never see it, even in a Stall or some
variant, really the only real place I might consider
using it. In short, you can double the Defense
of a face-up Defense position monster. I
assume this is permanent, as it doesn't say anything
of "for the turn". It can combo with some
things, but I'm not seeing this happen any
time soon.
Ratings:
1/5 both Formats
Art: 4/5 |

D2 Shield. I love this card. Everyone hates this
card. BAM, instantly double your defender's points.
Speaking of (Destiny Hero) Defender, this makes him
5400. The opponent will feel that one in the
morning.
But the most important thing here is Stone Statue
of the Aztecs. When attacked by the standard 1800
beater, D2 Shield gives your Statue 2000 extra DEF,
totalling a massive backlash of 4400. Be aware that
this will not work with Canyon, as Statue already
has the 2x damage clause. Nonetheless, two D2
Sheilds means you win the game with this guy, and
that's pretty good.
4/5 for Statue decks
Art: I don't know. I guess it's fun. Needs moar
Statue.
Fun Fact: It's a very frustrating deck to play
against.
Tomorrow: Another entry in the D.D. Warrior Lady
saga thingy. Fun!

Here we have another one of Konami’s “want this
to see play, so we will make it super rare” cards.
It says that you may select one face-up defense
position monster and double its defense. Here is a
variety of reasons of why it won’t see play. First,
there are so many better cards than this. Second, it
only works on a face-up monster, so when your
opponent’s monster flips, you can’t use this. Next,
this card isn’t all that game changing, so if you
wanted to actually use it, than you would have to
make some sort of canyon, rock, defense deck. So
there you have it. This is David the nameless
signing out.
1.5/5

D2 Sheild is another normal trap. It doubles the
defense of a faceup defense monster you control. I
suppose this is good for surprising your opponent
with. They attack your facedown monster, it flips up
and you activate this, your monster lives and they
take damage. If you use this with something like
Destiny Hero Defender,this could cause a lot of
damage.
Still, outside of these mediocre combos, I dont
see much use of this, and Im still not entirely sure
if you CAN even activate this after your opponent
attacks your facedown monster, so dont hold me to
that.
Both Formats 2/5
Art- Twin Sheild Defender....erm defending i guess.
It's kinda bland.

D2 Shield is our card today, and it's pretty
cool. Double the defense of any face-up defense
monster of yours, and the effect is permanent.
Defense boosting, unfortunately, doesn't usually win
games. D2 Shield has some neat tricks up its sleeve,
such as using it on cards like Dupe Frog or Golem
Dragon, forcing all attacks into a 4000 DEF wall. It
also is capable of redirecting Smashing Ground in
some situational scenarios, if you need it to.
Unfortunately, monsters won't usually be sticking
around more than a few turns anyway, so the boost
won't often matter. You're probably better off using
something like Dimensional Prison.
Traditional: 1/5 Totally pointless here. Stall, and
defense in general, is nonexistent here.
Advanced: 2/5 If you run anything remotely stall
oriented, this could be a decent pick for you.
Art: 1/5 It's just Twin-Shield Defender. Why
couldn't it be Destiny Hero - Defender or Giant
Soldier of Stone? That would have ruled.
