Rulings

From the Usurp the Shadow Throne release notes

Restless Shieldmaiden’s activated ability is functional while this card is a permanent in the arena.
Restless Shieldmaiden does not have to be untapped in order to use its Shadow Resist prevention effect.
Shadow Resist can apply to any damage dealt by a source controlled by a Shadow hero, including allies and weapons.
Shadow Resist cannot prevent blood debt, since it is not damage.

Keyword notes

Decay - At the beginning of your end phase, put a -1{h} counter on this.

Decay is a static ability keyword.
A card with decay triggers during its controller’s beginning of their end phase. When this trigger resolves, you will put a -1 counter on the card with decay. This can cause permanents that are living objects to die or otherwise be cleared and trigger other effects.
Counters that are put on a permanent in this way will persist until the permanent leaves the arena.
Decay triggers and resolves before allies heal at the end of the turn. For example, if a 3 life ally with decay has 2 damage marked on it, then that ally will die when the decay trigger resolves. Effects that trigger on-death will trigger from this.
