Proud Pack-Rhino 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 — • Put a shield counter on target permanent. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.) • Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
How it works : Proud Pack-Rhino
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· 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.
- #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 that permanent.
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
"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.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
When you proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #8· Wizards of the Coast
You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter—only the ones you want to add counters to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #9· Wizards of the Coast
If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #10· Wizards of the Coast
Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.
No other card is named in this ruling.
