Imagine you get to play in one turn Serrated Shield + Runed Shield, but instead of 10 Armor, you get only 5 armor and draw 5 cards. And it only costs 2 mana less, one card less, and there is no uncertainty. What 4 mana gets you with Ultimate Infestation just shows how underwhelming this card is.
Costs too much for way too much variance. In some cases, it's a Shieldmaiden, in others an Arcanite Reaper + Iron Hide or Holy Fire. You don't even get a discount over just playing other cards, but have to cope with the RNG factor of undesirable effects for particular situations. At that cost it also only has a place in control warrior and I'm not sure if it isn't too RNG for that.
People comparing to Iron Hide... first you would never run even 1 and obviosly can’t run 3. Is more like a Bring it on! Which sees play. Shieldmaiden was an auto include. Shield block + shield slam combo sees a lot of play in control. Arcanite Reaper and armor? I’m in.
Does this card cost 6 mana twice? If so, I'd say it's trash. Idk why anyone is saying 6 mana 15 armor, when it looks like it's 6 mana, and then another 6 mana for the identified shield.
This card is good. 3 out of 4 opportunities are good, cause u heal and gain tempo on board, cause either u remove or build board. Thats the kind of card control warrior was missing since rotation of Bash and Shieldmaiden. Great ! Pls some more of these
And here are the four possible effects!

Just shows you how good UI is.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Besides Tower Shield all effects looks cool. BTW how did you get the cards in English so fast?
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
I’m in love.
6 mana 15 armor
6 mana iron hide + 5 damage
6 mana iron hide + 5/5
6 mana iron hide + arcanite reaper
I don't see any decks that want to play this card.
Edit: the 6 mana golem is the same as Shieldmaiden. Still, you don't run this just for that possibility.
Fuck cubelock

Seems pretty weak.
Prety good only the randomness makes it a bit worse but still at least playable
Garbo.
Release the Kraken!
2 good effects and 2 mediocre effects. So overall kinda good.
Tower Shield = 3x Iron Hide
Serrated Shield = Iron Hide + Shield Slam
Runed Shield = reversed Shieldmaiden
Spiked Shield = Iron Hide + Arcanite Reaper
Not impressed
i think this card is just playable.
The effects arent amazing and the Armour gain is not great for its cost.
works with the new legendary though
I feel like its ok, but not the best.

Every version is playable, but the card is unreliable.
Shieldmaiden was an auto include.
Shield block + shield slam combo sees a lot of play in control.
Arcanite Reaper and armor? I’m in.
Yeah, the trial version of Ultimate Infestation. Lack of inspiration maybe

The mana cost should be lower. This just doesn't have the value to be in many decks and is random so...... Don't see this being in many decks.
Are you guys mad? This card is crazy good.
Gain 5 Armor. Gain 10 more Armor. - Probably the weakest of the four, and it's still pretty good.
Gain 5 Armor. Deal 5 Damage. - Holy Fire for Warrior.
Gain 5 Armor. Summon a 5/5. - Welcome back, Shieldmaiden.
Gain 5 Armor. Equip a 5/2 Weapon. - Literally just Arcanite Reaper + Iron Hide in a single card.
If a control archetype exists, this will absolutely be 2x.
