Changes: Shield Trigger

Revision as of 12:56, 25 March 2015

Template:Infobox Keyword Shield Trigger is evergreen keyword shared among each of the 5 monocolored civilizations.

Details

While the ability was originally featured only on spells, it was later introduced on creatures in DM-04.

Shield Trigger creatures and spells tend to be more expensive in mana cost than their regular counterparts (Such as a creature having a power to cost ratio of 5 to 1000 or a spell costing 6 or 7). Due to this factor, Quasi-Vanilla creatures with Shield Trigger are often considered among one of the worst creatures in the entire game due to them having an heavily imbalanced cost to power ratio as well as bringing no direct advantage other than potentially being summoned for no cost.

Shield Trigger creatures are being summoned into the battle zone instead of being "put", so if a creature with a ”When you summon this creature” effect is put into the battle zone via Shield Trigger, the effect will trigger.

A creature such as Heavy Death Metal, End of the Century which can only be summoned can be put into the battle zone like normal this way. Vice Versa, if an ability prevents you from summoning a creature or casting a spell, you can't use the shield trigger abilities of those respective card types.
