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.
