Carte Magic Mirror Shield

Mirror Shield 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.

01

Official card text

Equipped creature gets +0/+2 and has hexproof and "Whenever a creature with deathtouch blocks or becomes blocked by this creature, destroy that creature." Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

How it works : Mirror Shield

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability Mirror Shield grants triggers and resolves before combat damage is dealt. That creature won’t deal combat damage to the equipped creature or be dealt damage by it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature with deathtouch blocks the equipped creature and is then destroyed, the equipped creature remains blocked. Unless the equipped creature has trample, it won’t deal combat damage to the player or planeswalker it’s attacking.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Once a creature without deathtouch has blocked or become blocked by the equipped creature, causing the other creature to gain deathtouch won’t cause the ability granted by Mirror Shield to trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
