You play Strength. Strength is now on your field.

The opponent plays Shield. Shield is now on their field.

You draw Hammer. Your next card will be Heal.

The Shield that the opponent just played also goes on their field, and reduces damaging cards' damage by 2. However, instead of having a turn limit like Strength, it lasts until it reduces the damage of two cards.

You draw Hammer. Your next card will be Heal.

Another thing to note is priorities. Shortsword, a damaging card, may appear to be weaker than Slash as it only deals 3 damage- however, with a priority 1, it will be played before most cards, meaning if the opponent plays a Shield that turn, the Shortsword will hit first. Similarly, Hammer does more damage than Shortsword, but comes after most cards.

You can test this out by playing your Shortsword or your Hammer this turn.
