Swooping Protector enters the battlefield with a shield counter on it. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)
Artist: Mark Behm


Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

  • Strengths:

    • Flash allows for surprise blocks or end-of-turn deployment.
    • Flying provides evasion.
    • Shield counter offers a degree of resilience against removal or damage.
  • Weaknesses:

    • Somewhat low stats for a 4-mana creature.
    • Only has one shield counter, limiting its survivability.

Deck Utility:

  • Flash Decks: Fits well in decks that leverage instant-speed interactions.

  • Flying Decks: Good addition for decks focusing on evasive creatures.

  • Control Decks: Can be deployed at instant speed, allowing you to keep up mana for other interactions.

  • Counter Synergy Decks: Can be a useful card in decks that focus on manipulating counters.

Interactions and Combos:

  • Battalion Foot Soldier: Search your deck for other creatures that use shield counters.

  • Doubling Season: Would enter the battlefield with two shield counters instead of one, improving its survivability.

  • Ephemerate / Flicker effects: Resetting the shield counter for additional protection.

Flavor and Lore:
The concept of a "Swooping Protector" falls in line with the idea of a guardian bird, swooping in to protect at just the right moment. The shield counter implies a singular, dedicated act of protection.

Overall Impression:
Swooping Protector is a versatile card that can fit into various strategies. While not particularly strong in terms of raw stats, its flash and flying abilities make it a tricky card to deal with. The shield counter also adds a layer of resilience, although only temporarily. In the right deck, this creature can offer a lot of utility.
