LegalitiesLegal Duel Brawl Penny Legacy Modern Pioneer Vintage Explorer Historic Timeless Commander Gladiator Oathbreaker Not Legal Predh Future Pauper Alchemy Standard Oldschool Premodern Standardbrawl Paupercommander Rulings“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.
If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
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.
Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
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.
Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
