Starfield of Nyx interaction with Grafdigger's Cage
Asked by CMGraves 6 years ago
Let's say I have Grafdigger's Cage on the field and I cast Replenish to put five enchantments including Starfield of Nyx onto the field. Does Grafdigger's Cage prevent this due to the fact that when they enter the battlefield the enchantments are also creature per Starfield of Nyx?
Thanks Tyrant-Thanatos. I did not see that distinction.

No. There is a distinction to be made between a "creature card" and a "creature". Grafdigger's Cage prevents creature cards from entering the battlefield from graveyards or libraries. A card is only a creature card if it has the "creature" type printed on it. Vehicles, for instance, are never creature cards, even though they have a power and toughness, and can become creatures, they are not creature cards. This applies to all permanents as well: there is a difference between an Artifact vs an Artifact Card, an Enchantment vs an Enchantment Card, etc.
Starfield of Nyx turns your non-aura enchantments into creatures. it does not turn them into creature cards, nor does it do anything to enchantment cards which are not on the battlefield.
