Phasing

Asked by Nabuseri 5 years ago

I have read the rules on phasing, but I am concerned with how this scenario plays out.

So I have a creature and some used Imprisoned in the Moon on said creature. The enchantment is on the creature and I play a Teferi's Protection . I know when you play the spell any enchantment attached to said creature like, Zur the Enchanter , they are there, but not there. Since Teferi's Protection says permanents you own, it is a little confusing. I am assuming the enchantment on the creature stays since it was already on it prior to the spell being cast. If anyone could confirm that my assumptions are right or wrong would be most grateful.

Per the rules, if a permanent phases out, its status changes to "phased out." Except for rules and effects that specifically mention phased-out permanents, it's treated as though it does not exist. It does not actually change zones or control, though.

Specific to things like Enchantments, rule 702.25f explains that Auras, Equipment, or Fortifications attached to it phase out at the same time (called "phasing out indirectly"). The attached objects won't phase in by themselves, but will phase in along with the permanent they're attached to.

So your opponent's Imprisoned in the Moon would remain on your permanent and phase out with it, and then phase back in once the enchanted permanent does so. Teferi's Protection won't make it fall off.
