Inkmoth Nexus and Ensoul Artifact Rules

Asked by Nebulousone 9 years ago

If I activate an Inkmoth Nexus or Blinkmoth Nexus and enchant it with an Ensoul Artifact , when my turn ends does the Ensoul Artifact go to the graveyard or does it stick like Arcbound Ravager or Steel Overseer counters?

I checked gatherer and couldn't find any rulings.

Thanks!

Auras which are enchanting illegal targets fall off and go to the graveyard.

Ensoul Artifact requires you to enchant an artifact. Neither Nexus is an artifact when it is not animated, so as soon as your turn ends, they will go back to being non-artifact lands, and Ensoul Artifact will go to the graveyard.

Thanks, Devonin. That make's sense. So basically Inkmoth Nexus and Blinkmoth Nexus are not going to be great targets for Ensoul Artifact unless I'm swinging for lethal.

5 flying infect damage for 3 mana isn't a bad call in most circumstances, but no it's not going to be the superhero card you were hoping.
