Will Palliation Accord receive a rules update with shield counters gaining intrinsic rules?
Asked by Yesterday 2 years ago
Palliation Accord is an older card that uses shield counters, which as of Cappenia have been granted innate rules (Disciplined Duelist).
Will Palliation Accord be receiving a functional buff? Is there a precedent for this?

Apparently they're being errata'ed to palliation counters and will not interact with or be considered shield counters. I can't find any specific precedent for changing the name of counters, only of counters receiving names, like Venarian Gold using sleep counters. (There might be a couple I missed; I didn't dive super-deep and there are a lot of counters that only one card uses.)
Personally, I think WotC could have either come up with a different name for the new counters or allowed Palliation Accord to keep using them. This just makes another card that doesn't do what it says it does.
