would a creature with shroud be affected by a board wipe?

Asked by Djmikewhite 8 years ago

example: I have an Alexi's Cloak on my creature, would an opponents Gideon, Champion of Justice's -15 affect my creature?

Yes. A spell or ability only targets if it specifically says "target" in its rules text (sometimes the word is packed into the full text of a keyword ability, like "Equip" for equipment or "Enchant NN" for auras). Gideon's ability doesn't target, so shroud won't interfere with it.

Yes, it is not targeted by a board wipe spell.
