What happens if Starfield of Nyx and Enchanted Evening are on the board at the same time?

Asked by OnlyDestroyer59 4 years ago

Lets say Enchanted Evening is in play, then Starfield of Nyx enters the battlefield. Will cards with 0 cost, like some equip spells, and lands be destroyed?

With both Enchanted Evening and Starfield of Nyx in play, all permanents with a cmc of 0 will be put to the graveyards as a state-based action.

Enchanted Evening will make permanents enchantments in addition to their other types. Starfield of Nyx will make all non-aura enchantments creatures with their power and toughness equal to their casting cost. If the card's original casting cost was zero, its power and toughness will be zero.

The permanents are not destroyed. They just move from the battlefield to the graveyard for having a toughness of zero. This is important since effects that trigger on destroy will not trigger.

On a side note, the transform lands (like Primal Wellspring ) from Ixalan will not be put to the graveyard as their cmc is the cmc of its front face.
