Double Enchantment?
Asked by cradford609 8 years ago
I have a deck I've been using playing with my wife tghe past few weeks, White Token Assault. One card in particular really makes this deck in my opinion, that being Phalanx Leader, whose Heroic ability adds 1/1 counters to ALL of your creatures. So if you can target him with four, five spells, you can potentially have an army of twenty or more 5/5 or 6/6 token creatures. Now I know that a single creature can be enchanted twice, i.e.: Divine Favor + Ephara's Radiance . But could I, if I wanted to, add 2 of the same aura to a single creature? The other day I had tossed an extra Ephara's Radiance in this deck and tried playing both of them on my Phalanx Leader, purely for the army counters of course. My wife complained about it so I removed the second one. My question is this: Can you play two of the same enchantment aura cards on one creature. Now I know with Ephara's Radiance, it's an activated ability card, so probably can't do that, but Divine Favor Is a counter card, so surely you must be able to play two of those on one creature, right?
Raging_Squiggle is correct, but I just want to clarify one point.
Divine Favor does not add counters to a creature, it applies a buff effect. Calling it a counter card is fairly confusing.

Also something to note: Ephara's Radiance itself does not have the activated ability. It grants the ability to the creature on which it is enchanted. This is important in case the creature is affected by summoning sickness.

You can certainly play any number of the same enchantments on the creature. They will all trigger heroic when you cast them. It is rather redundant to have 2 Ephara's Radiance on the same creature, but there is no rule that stops you from doing so.
