# Shields Up!
- **Mana Cost:** `{1}{W}` (CMC: 2)
- **Type:** Instant

## Oracle Text
Target artifact or creature you control gains hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. If it's a creature, put a +1/+1 counter on it. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)

> *Deflector shields use intense graviton fields to create a "solid" surface from nothing at all.*
