Rulings

  1. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    If the creature loses its shield counter during combat, it will be removed from combat when it changes controllers. If it hasn't already assigned combat damage by that time, it won't get to deal combat damage.

  2. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.

  3. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.

  4. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent that would be dealt damage has more than one shield counter on it, that damage is prevented and only one shield counter is removed.

  5. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.

  6. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.

  7. Apr 29, 2022 · Wizards of the Coast

    "Shield" is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.
