Act of Treason/Mark Of Mutiny + Enchantments?
Asked by potpanman 11 years ago
Hi, I understand that when you play either Act of Treason or Mark of Mutiny to take control of an opponents creature, you do not control the enchantments right? BUT they stay attached to the creature?
For example, if I played Act of Treason on a Vampire Nighthawk with was enchanted with Madcap Skills and then attacked with it, would I be doing 5 damage and gaining 5 life, or because I don't control the enchantment, only 2 damage and gaining 2 life?
Also, if i was then to use Bubbling Cauldron to sacrifice the Vampire Nighthawk after attacking, what would happen to the mapcap skills? Go into my opponents graveyard??
Thanks!!

The Vampire Nighthawk under your control is a 5/3 flier with deathtouch and lifelink, so you'll get the full benefit of that.
As always, an Aura that suddenly isn't attached to anything (or is attached to an illegal object) will be put into its owner's graveyard. It's impossible for a card to go to the graveyard of any player other than its owner (similarly for the library and the hand).

As an addition, if the enchantment says "you" like in Armadillo Cloak , Dying Wish , and Ophidian Eye , it refers to the enchantment's controller, not the controller of the enchanted creature.
Armadillo Cloak would cause its controller to gain life, not the creature's controller.
Dying Wish would actually fall off and go to the graveyard because its target is now illegal.
Ophidian Eye wouldn't trigger because "opponent" is seen from the viewpoint of its controller. It could trigger in a multiplayer game, but the controller of Ophidian Eye would draw the card.

Madcap Skills affects the nighthawk so you would deal 5 damage and gain 5 life.
IF you sacrificed nighthawk, madcap skills would go to the graveyard
