Soul Shield (Yellow)

Since defense reactions can’t defend in the defending window and must be played in the reaction window, you must pay Soul Shield’s cost to play it.

Soul Shield only goes into your hero’s soul when the combat chain closes. The combat chain closes when the turn player either ends their turn, closes it to play a non-attack action or voluntarily closes the combat chain.

If you defend with Soul Shield you must put it into your hero’s soul. It is not optional.
