At the beginning of your upkeep, put a shield counter on target creature an opponent controls.
Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, tap that creature and goad it. It gains trample until your next turn. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)

  2. 2022-04-29 · wotc — Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
  3. 2022-04-29 · wotc — 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.
  4. 2022-04-29 · wotc — Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
