Removing Shield is a huge letdown for me. I was planning to run an Eldritch Knight with Booming Blade/Greenflame Blade Shield combo, you know standard Tank setup.
No Booming Blade nor Green Flame Blade either. Though I was hoping because of the other SCAG content, I accepted they may not be in there, at least to start. But no Shield spell is a real big nerf for Abjurers.
