Virtual Shields is the Players Committee's list of 37 virtual Defensive Shields from the Virtual Legacy era (2009–2014); its card lists call it Virtual Block D.[1] Seventeen of its cards were printed on Virtual Block 6 release 6.1, Reflections IV (official text 4 September 2009). For seven shields that sheet printed two versions, one for the Reflections III card and one for the card's first printing. Leave Them To Me (Reflections III) (V) and Leave Them To Me (Death Star II) (V) are one such pair. Three were printed on Block 7 release 7.2, Ultimate Freedom (15 December 2010).[2][3] The full list is in the Committee's Virtual Cards Master List shield sheet (2013).[4] The same sheet printed two more such pairs, Wipe Them Out, All Of Them (Coruscant) (V) and Wipe Them Out, All Of Them (V) (slips 28 and 27), and Another Pathetic Lifeform (Coruscant) (V) and Another Pathetic Lifeform (V) (slips 69 and 70).[2] These four are on the Committee's Virtual Shields card list but not on its by-type list or the 2013 master list sheet.[5][1][4] The cards are not legal in current constructed play; they remain part of Legacy Open.
