If the target is illegal as Boon of Safety attempts to resolve, it will be removed from the stack and its controller will not scry.

Shield counters don't prevent players from sacrificing creatures.

Wotc โ€” April 29, 2022

Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.

Wotc โ€” April 29, 2022

If a permanent that would be dealt damage has more than one shield counter on it, that damage is prevented and only one shield counter is removed.

Wotc โ€” April 29, 2022

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

Wotc โ€” April 29, 2022

A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.

Wotc โ€” April 29, 2022

โ€œShieldโ€ is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.
