This card is evidence that the Simic are truely genius's. They have invented an enchantment aura that protects the creature it enchants with troll shroud, and allows you to gain more knowlede to add to your arsenal of spells (that means to draw a card, for all you non-vorthos and stupid people). This is exactly what the Simic are about, using knowledge to make life more efficient. This card also combos really well with Lorescale Coatl.

You know, it'd be a little easy to Smother your Lorescale in response to Shielding Plax being cast. Just saying.

No because it retains any auras or counters attached to it. There are easy ways of getting rid of Pacifism tho. If you can get rid of the enchantment with something as cheap as Demystify, you can always return the creature to your hand using Unsummon or to your library with Nulltread Gargantuan.
I like this card because it takes away the negative drawback that shroud creates in not letting you beef up your creature when suddenly its cornered by something bigger than it. The draw card ability is a nice perk; I just wish this cost 1+b/g instead of 2+b/g and make it an uncommon.
Yeah, this is a great card for Lorescale Coatl, which comes into play with a big target on it for its ability. Other fun quick ways to pump the snake is to have a creature power 5 or greater and Drumhunter since you will be drawing cards 2x a turn. Rhystic Study is ... (see all)

Yeah My Boy Manny Invented The Lorescale Shielding Plax Combo. Great Idea Manny.

I have a question? If say, you were to place Shielding Plax on a creature and it had Pacifism on it already. Would the Pacifism be put in to the graveyard at end of turn?

KrosanGardener's got it. I don't want an aura that doesn't do its job and costs me 3 mana. Now if it had split second or flash or both, then it would deserve a 4 or higher ranking.

Since it shares color with Simic Guildmage, doesn't hurt to move it around :)
