Take Up the Shield⁣ - Dominaria United⁣ (Common)⁣ [35]

When you cast Take Up the Shield, you choose a creature to receive a +1/+1 counter, making it stronger. That creature also gains lifelink, meaning any damage it deals this turn will restore you that much life, and it becomes indestructible until the end of your turn, so it can't be destroyed by damage or effects that say "destroy." This card is particularly useful in combat situations, as it can turn a creature into a formidable blocker or attacker while also providing you with some life gain, but it requires a white mana investment and doesn't protect the creature from exile effects or damage that exceeds its toughness.
