If the target is illegal as Boon of Safety attempts to resolve, it will be removed from the stack and its controller will not scry. (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)
