Tortoise Formation Rules Text & Legality

Tortoise Formation

Creatures you control gain shroud until end of turn. (They can't be the targets of spells or abilities.)

At sea, the Jhessian fleet strikes swiftly and decisively. On land, facing the elite cavalry of Valeron, its marines must rely on more cautious strategies.

Tortoise Formation is legal in Modern, Legacy, Commander and Pauper, and not legal in Standard and Pioneer.
