"Enchant land you control" are destroyed on switching controller?
Asked by UniqueUserID 8 years ago
Do lands that need to be enchanted on a land you control such as Earthlore destroyed if the opponent takes control of the land? Oracle text seems very different in effect.
E.g - I use Earthlore on my forest. My opponent later uses Conquer to take my forest. I can still use Earthlore since the ability is on the aura, but is Earthlore destroyed since I no longer control the land?

Note that this is not destruction. Nor is it sacrifice. The aura is simply put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action, which means it happens before any player gets priority to do anything.

One of the state based actions is that if an aura is enchanting an illegal object the aura is sent to the graveyard. So the net time SBA are checked after your opponent gains control of your forest Earthlore will go to the graveyard.
