Stalwart Shield-Bearers, Creature — human soldier, designed by Austin Hsu first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
This card would be beneficial in a deck focused on a defensive strategy, such as a control or wall deck, as it enhances the toughness of other creatures with defender, making them harder to remove. While Stalwart Shield-Bearers can be useful in certain situations, there are likely better options available, such as Wall of Omens or Wall of Blossoms, which provide card draw in addition to defense. Whether Stalwart Shield-Bearers should see play would depend on the specific deck and strategy being employed.

Stalwart Shield-Bearers continually checks which creatures you control have defender and gives the bonus only to them. If an effect causes a creature with defender to lose defender (as Shoal Serpent does), Stalwart Shield-Bearers stops giving it the bonus for as long as it doesn’t have defender. On the other hand, if a spell or ability causes a creature to be able to attack as though it didn’t have defender (as Warmonger’s Chariot does), Stalwart Shield-Bearers continues to give it the bonus because it never actually loses the defender ability.
