A deck that focuses on defensive strategies and token generation would benefit from using Nature Shields Its Own in Magic: the Gathering. This card can be particularly effective in a deck that aims to stall the game and build up a board presence through token creatures. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects or better value, the unique ability of creating Plant tokens to block attacking creatures can be situationally powerful and could see play in decks looking to control the board and protect their life total.

Rules

06/15/10

Putting a blocking creature onto the battlefield will trigger “When this creature becomes blocked by a creature” abilities. It will also trigger “When this creature becomes blocked” abilities in this case, because the attacking creature had not yet been blocked that combat.

06/15/10

The Plant token blocks the attacking creature even if the block couldn’t legally be declared (for example, if the attacking creature has flying).

06/15/10

You’re the defending player if a creature is attacking you or a planeswalker you control.
