Falco Sparo, Tessitore d'Intese {1}{G}{W}{U}

Notes and Rules Information for Falco Sparo, Tessitore d'Intese:

• Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
• Removing a counter from a creature is an additional cost of casting the spell and may be combined with other additional costs or alternative costs that spell may have, such as casualty. (2022-04-29)
• If you cast a spell with casualty this way, you can pay the costs in any order, which means that you may remove a counter from a creature then sacrifice it to pay the casualty cost. Bear in mind that removing a +1/+1 counter this way will reduce a creature's power, which might prevent you from paying the casualty cost with that creature. (2022-04-29)
• Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures. (2022-04-29)
• Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature. (2022-04-29)

• If a permanent that would be dealt damage has more than one shield counter on it, that damage is prevented and only one shield counter is removed. (2022-04-29)
• If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed. (2022-04-29)
• A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch. (2022-04-29)
• “Shield” is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal. (2022-04-29)
