Darksteel Plateprotection$7.02Both are Equipment that protect the equipped creature from removal. Darksteel Plate offers indestructible instead of hexproof and a deathtouch punishment, making it a sturdier defensive upgrade.Whispersilk Cloakprotection$2.74This is a very close functional cousin: it grants hexproof and makes the creature hard to block through unblockable. It lacks the deathtouch clause, but fills the same protection/evasion role.Sword of Hearth and Homeprotection$18.06Like Mirror Shield, it protects the creature via hexproof-style resilience and provides combat utility on top. It is more expensive, but serves as a high-end Equipment payoff.Swiftfoot Bootsprotection$1.62Both cards give the equipped creature hexproof and help protect key threats from targeted removal. Boots are cheaper to deploy, though they do not provide the toughness boost or deathtouch deterrent.Lightning Greavesprotection$4.63This is a classic protection Equipment that shields the creature from targeted interaction. It trades hexproof for shroud and haste, making it more aggressive but less flexible.Mask of Avacynprotection$0.64Like Mirror Shield, it gives the equipped creature hexproof and a small toughness boost. It is a cleaner, more budget-friendly protection Equipment without the anti-deathtouch clause.Specter's Shroudprotection$0.24This is another low-cost Equipment that provides a small stat boost and protection from removal through hexproof-style effects. It is less combat-focused, but fills a similar early-game protective role.Champion's Helmprotection$1.08Champion's Helm offers a defensive Equipment slot that can protect a key legendary creature with hexproof-like resilience. It is especially good in commander decks, though narrower in application.
