Brotherhood Outcast is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
When this creature enters, choose one — • Return target Aura or Equipment card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. • Put a shield counter on target creature. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)
How it works : Brotherhood Outcast
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If an Aura is put onto the battlefield without being cast, the Aura’s controller-to-be chooses what it will enchant as it comes back onto the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn’t target anything (so it could be attached to an opponent’s permanent with hexproof, for example), but the Aura’s enchant ability restricts what it can be attached to. If the Aura can’t legally be attached to anything, it remains in its current zone.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Shield counters don’t prevent players from sacrificing creatures.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Removing a shield counter when a permanent would be dealt damage or destroyed isn’t the same as regenerating a creature.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
“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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
