Official Rulings

• If Paradox Shield (GR 232) is attached to a 3 power creature and I only have 1 card in my deck, can the replacement effect of Paradox Shield’s ability protect my creature from destruction?
  No. Resolving the Destroyed: ability granted by Paradox Shield would cause the controller of the attached creature to discard only 1 card, which does not satisfy the "if you do" condition. The attached creature would not be healed, and Paradox Shield would not be destroyed.
