This Nyxborn Shieldmate card would be beneficial in a white weenie or aggressive white deck looking to enhance its creatures and apply pressure early in the game. While it provides a modest boost to the enchanted creature, there are more powerful options available such as Ethereal Armor or Spirit Mantle for similar mana costs, making Nyxborn Shieldmate less likely to see competitive play in most decks.

Rules

09/15/13

Auras attached to a creature don’t become tapped when the creature becomes tapped. Except in some rare cases, an Aura with bestow remains untapped when it becomes unattached and becomes a creature.

09/15/13

On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It’s never both, although it’s an enchantment spell in either case.

09/15/13

Unlike other Auras, an Aura with bestow isn’t put into its owner’s graveyard if it becomes unattached. Rather, the effect making it an Aura ends, it loses enchant creature, and it remains on the battlefield as an enchantment creature. It can attack (and its abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it’s been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began.
