Huge Block output, and it's awesome to have so much scaling on a single card because there are ways to double-play it and get twice as much. For example, if you take this and upgrade it, then use a Duplication potion to play it twice, you'll have ~20 Passive Block per turn for the rest of a lategame Boss fight. That's massive, and lets a deck which was previously poor at Blocking coast through lategame. A bit of Block per turn > tons of Block at once, since you don't waste as much of it.

The added plating is nice supplemental block, but the high energy cost makes this power hard to easily get in play. Losing 1 plating per turn will hurt in longer boss fights.
