Shield Recovery is a term given to cards that return your own shields to your hand.

Details[]

Because the number of your shields are reduced, they are often seen as a demerit ability. However, at the same time, the number of cards in your hand act as a pseudo-draw. While risky as it brings you closer to a direct attack from your opponent, it does provide additional options.

While most of these cards' abilities prevent you from using any shield trigger abilities put into your hand in this way, some cards such as Benzo, the Hidden Fury have this restriction.
