What it does
"Aegis of the Emperor" isn't a real Magic: The Gathering keyword or ability—it appears to be a flavor name, possibly from Warhammer 40,000 lore (where "Aegis of the Emperor" is a protective concept), or a homebrew/custom card. It doesn't exist in any official MTG set, including the Universes Beyond Warhammer 40K Commander decks.
If you encountered this on a card, double-check the actual rules text printed on it, since that text—not the name—defines what it does. Magic abilities are determined by their literal printed instructions, so a flavorful name like this would just be shorthand for some keyword or ability word defined elsewhere on the card.
If you can share the card's full Oracle text, I can explain exactly how it works, the common rules pitfalls, and its relevance in a Commander game.
