About Ephemeral Shields
Ephemeral Shields, Instant, designed by Yohann Schepacz first released in Jul, 2014 in the set Magic 2015 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
Ephemeral Shields would be beneficial in a white creature-based deck that focuses on protecting key creatures and maintaining board presence. While it provides a temporary indestructible effect, there are potentially better options like Brave the Elements or Gods Willing that offer protection from multiple colors or additional benefits. Ephemeral Shields could see play in specific situations where a one-time indestructible effect is crucial, but it may not be a staple in most competitive decks.
Rules

You won’t be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won’t be on the battlefield when you pay the spell’s costs, so you won’t be able to tap it for convoke.
