Spiny Starfish, Creature — starfish, designed by Alan Rabinowitz first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board and generating incremental value would benefit from using Spiny Starfish, as it provides a repeatable source of token generation and regeneration. However, there are likely better options available in terms of efficiency and power level, such as cards that offer more immediate impact or stronger synergy with the deck's overall strategy. While Spiny Starfish could be a fun and flavorful inclusion, it may not be the most competitive choice for a deck looking to optimize its performance.

Spiny Starfish’s first ability creates a regeneration shield for it. Spiny Starfish’s second ability checks whether it _used_ any regeneration shields that turn, not whether any regeneration shields were created for it.

The second ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause,” so it won’t trigger at all unless Spiny Starfish had regenerated that turn. However, the number of tokens that are created isn’t determined until the ability resolves (in case it regenerates again before that time).
