About Shield Broker

Shield Broker, Creature — octopus advisor, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in April 2022 in the set New Capenna Commander and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.10.

This card, Shield Broker, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on stealing and controlling opponent's creatures. While it offers a unique way to gain control of a creature temporarily, there are more efficient options like Control Magic or Treachery that provide permanent control without the need for counters. Shield Broker could see play in casual or themed decks for its flavorful mechanics, but in competitive settings, there are better alternatives available.

Rules

04/29/2022

"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.

04/29/2022

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.

04/29/2022

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.

04/29/2022

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

04/29/2022

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.

04/29/2022

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

04/29/2022

Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
