Arixmethes and Land-auras

Asked by CBBA 4 years ago

I have a question to Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle. If this card is still a land, can I cast Dawn's Reflection on it? If so, what happens to the enchantment after this card has become a creature.

The "Enchant ___" text on an Aura determines what kind of permanent it can enchant.

As long as Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle is a land (has a slumber counter on it), you may enchant it with Dawn's Reflection.

If Arixmethes no longer has slumber counters on it, it is no longer a land, and is no longer a legal object for Dawn's Reflection to enchant, so the Aura goes to its owner's graveyard.

• 303.4c If an Aura is enchanting an illegal object or player as defined by its enchant ability and other applicable effects, the object it was attached to no longer exists, or the player it was attached to has left the game, the Aura is put into its owner’s graveyard. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)
