This creature enters with two shield counters on it.
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, you may remove a counter from a creature or planeswalker you control. If you do, draw a card and create a 1/1 green and white Citizen creature token.
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 5 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
7 PrecedentsIf a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
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.
Sanctuary Warden's triggered ability allows you to remove any kind of counter, not just a shield counter.
"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.
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.
