About Shell Shield

Shell Shield, Instant, designed by Wisnu Tan first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.67.

This card, Shell Shield, would be beneficial in a control or tempo deck in Magic: the Gathering, providing a cheap way to protect a key creature from removal spells or combat damage. While there may be better options such as Dive Down or Blossoming Defense which offer similar protection at the same cost, Shell Shield could still see play in decks looking for additional ways to protect their creatures and maintain board presence.

Rules

09/25/20

An ability that triggers when a player casts a kicked spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

09/25/20

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can’t kick it.

09/25/20

Kicker represents an optional additional cost that you may choose to pay as you cast the spell. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is “kicked.”

09/25/20

To determine a spell’s total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card’s effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
