The thing is, is if you need this, you're playing the world wrong. You use Blue Shield in conjunction with archetype cards that give gauge (most Dragon archetypes have this). If you still need gauge, then you really need to play less cards that eat up gauge and more that are free (possibly even ones with restrictions).

To put it another way, if this card is needed, what would happen if you fail to draw it? For that reason is why people don't use this. It is nice card for new players to have, though, to help with them in understanding gauge management.

Also, this is only a minus when you look at card advantage. In this game, you also have to look at resource advantage. This is cards, gauge, life, etc. In this case, this card is a wash. You're trading in one resource for an equal amount in another.
