![]() June 1994: With the release of the Legends expansion, shroud was introduced as a game concept with the card Spectral Cloak, which was the only card in the expansion to grant shroud.*Generally done to preserve the original intended functionality following a rule change.Shroud (This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities.) Notable developments in relation to Magic history You can see this verified in the first and second rulings on Gatherer for Cyclonic Rift. (Protection prevents Damage, Enchanting, Blocking and Targeting - providing the handy acronym DEBT - from anything that meets the criteria it has protection from The classic example is that even Progenitus is killed by Day of Judgement)Įxample Cyclonic Rift cannot effect a creature with shroud because it tries to target the creature, unless it is Overloaded, in which case it no longer targets and it instead effects 'each creature you don't control', rather than 'target creature you don't control'. Generally these cards also get around protection - Clone or Wrath of God for example ignore protection just as they ignore shroud, that said Diego's specific example (getting an enchantment on to a battlefield without casting it) doesn't get around protection like it does shroud. There are some cards, like Clone that say 'choose' rather than target, or that do things to specific cards without using the word 'target' like Sovereigns of Lost Alara - for these, if the card is older, it is generally worth double checking, as it may have had errata like Blue Elemental Blast which on the printed card doesn't mention targeting, but has had errata to include that word*, but other than these older cards with errata you can generally choose or select a creature with shroud, so long as the card doesn't target and you aren't casting an aura or equipping an equipment. Generally things that specify 'all' of something, or things that target players can effect creatures with shroud. In response to your P.s., yes shroud only prevents the creature from being targeted - nothing else.įor example Clone, Wrath of God, Diabolic Edict, Prahv, Spires of Order, Sovereigns of Lost Alara, Quest for the Holy Relic and Bolster do not target creatures and all work against or with a creature with shroud. The player must choose a legal object or player according to the Aura’s enchant ability and any other applicable effects.Īs an answer to your main question, see Diego's answer. If the aura is entering the battlefield due to some ability or spell just putting it there (like Starfield of Nyx's triggered ability) you can put it on a creature with shroud, because the aura is not on the stack, therefore it doesn't target.ģ03.4f If an Aura is entering the battlefield under a player’s control by any means other than by resolving as an Aura spell, and the effect putting it onto the battlefield doesn’t specify the object or player the Aura will enchant, that player chooses what it will enchant as the Aura enters the battlefield. An Aura’s target is specified by its enchant keyword ability (see rule 702.5, “Enchant”). These are the only permanent spells with targets. ![]() This is because aura spells target while they are on the stack.ġ14.1b Aura spells are always targeted. ![]() If you are casting the spell then no, you cannot enchant a creature with shroud. It depends on how you are enchanting the creature.
