Gameplay

Creature — Octopus Advisor

When this creature enters, put a shield counter on target noncommander creature you don't control. You gain control of that creature for as long as it has a shield counter on it. (If it would be dealt damage or destroyed, remove a shield counter from it instead.)

If a permanent with a shield counter is dealt unpreventable damage, that damage will be dealt and a shield counter will still be removed.
