"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.
- WotCApr 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.
- WotCApr 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.
- WotCApr 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.
- WotCApr 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.
- WotCApr 29, 2022
Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
- WotCApr 29, 2022
Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
