Perrie, the Pulverizer

Legendary Creature — Rhino Soldier

Perrie wants a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn. It leads the ready-made Bedecked Brokers deck (2022).

  • Mana cost1 genericgreenwhiteblue
  • White, Blue, Green ()
  • Power / toughness3 / 3
  • RarityMythic

When Perrie enters, put a shield counter on target creature. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)

Whenever Perrie attacks, target creature you control gains trample and gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of different kinds of counters among permanents you control.

“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.

Wizards of the Coast 29 Apr 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.

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.

If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.

Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
