Shield Broker

When this creature enters, put a shield counter on target noncommander creature you don't control. You gain control of that creature for as long as it has a shield counter on it. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)

Shield Broker is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Shield Broker Rulings

  • Apr 29, 2022

    "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.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    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.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    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.

  • Apr 29, 2022

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

  • Apr 29, 2022

    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.
