mtg limited edition alpha booster box - Case - Alpha Limited Edition Alpha - Magic:

If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.

After all, there are a lot of Vintage cards that cost four or more that are pretty important to hit with Thoughtseize

Theyre the basis of Limited formats like Booster Draft and Sealed Deck, and theyre great for players looking to build a unique collection of cards for Constructed formats

A control deck counters spells as they're being cast and removes and problem creatures that hit the battlefield

Crossroads Village is decent fixing that can go in any deck

From memory Shadowspear was around five USD the first few weeks after THB released Because of its relevance in the Theros story arc, I think were mainly going to see it getting reprinted in supplemental sets or universes beyond sets because reprinting it in Amonkhet or Lorwyn would make little sense
