Angelic Overseer
Asked by DarkMagician 3 years ago
Does Angelic Overseer have Hexproof and Indestructible in the graveyard if I control a human?

Tylord2894 I know they have no effect in the grave but wouldn't it still have those abilities? Creature spells with flying still count as having flying in the grave.

No, it would not have those abilities in the graveyard. Is there a specific interaction where this matters? Perhaps I can better explain it through such an interaction.

Current abilities called Characteristic-Defining Abilities (CDAs) function everywhere. Lord of Extinction has a P/T CDA. Other than CDAs, the traits of a card very rarely change. The effect of Angelic Overseer grants the creature that it represents on the battlefield those abilities, but it does not change the text nor abilities of the actual card.

Tylord2894 appreciate the speedy answer. I just saw the cda rule right before coming back to this page, broke my poor heart lol

No, Hexproof only applies to permanents and players. Indestructible only applies to permanents.
The effect of Angelic Overseer means "The creature that is represented by this card has Hexproof and Indestructible if you control a Human."
Hope this helps!!
