Characteristic modifers vs loss of creature status

Asked by chosenone124 5 years ago

I have March of the Machines and Azor's Gateway  Flip (4 different costs under.

  1. In response to Azor's Gateway  Flip's ability, opponent uses Ovinize on it.

  2. In response to the ability, opponent uses Merfolk Trickster on it.

What are the characteristics of the Sanctum of the Sun that results?

Rhadamanthus says... Accepted answer #1

In both cases it will be a land named "Sanctum of the Sun" with no abilities (and the "no abilities" part will wear off during the cleanup step).

The only time it really matters whether or not the Gateway/Sanctum is a creature is when targets are being chosen for Ovinize and Trickster. The characteristic-changing effects will still continue to apply even if it becomes a non-creature. Note that after Gateway transforms into Sanctum, the P/T-setting effect of Ovinize will be irrelevant because only creatures have the P/T characteristics.
