Shield Saver is keyword shared among each of the five monocolored civilizations.
Details[]
While it is not keyworded on them, the Shield Saver effect is used on cards in the TCG, Nastasha, Channeler of Suns and Pulsar Tree during DM-07 and DM-08.
It enables the player to sacrifice a creature with the ability to protect a shield. This can help the player protect some Castles or prolong his survival. Note that the shield must be broke, if the opponent uses an effect that simply returns shields to the hand such as Tyranno Link Nova, Shield Saver cannot be used. The same applies to break Replacement Effects such as those from Bolmeteus Steel Dragon. And as it is a Replacement Effect, other effects that prevent creatures from being destroyed such as Grand Cross Catastrophe do not allow a creature to save a shield multiple times.

Rulings[]
- As a Replacement Effect, you can't use a creature crossed with Grand Cross Catastrophe or the Shield Saver creature while you have Mihail, Celestial Elemental, and keep the creature you destroyed.
- This also can't be used against Bolmeteus Steel Dragon or Miracle Star, Heaven Revolutionary Knight Emperor.
- Only a "break" can be prevented, so you can't use Gajirabute, Vile Centurion or Codenight Black of Lionel.
- If a creature with Double Breaker or above breaks your shields and you have a creature with Shield Saver in the battle zone, the shields are treated as different objects. When your opponent choose the first shield, you may destroy the creature with shield saver and that shield is kept. Then your opponent chooses the other shields and breaks them.
