Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Put a shield counter on target creature. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)
Scry 1.
Rulings
7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2022-04-29
Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
- 2022-04-29
If the target is illegal as Boon of Safety attempts to resolve, it will be removed from the stack and its controller will not scry.
- 2022-04-29
“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.
- 2022-04-29
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.
- 2022-04-29
If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
- 2022-04-29
Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
- 2022-04-29
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.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Boon of Safety. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
