Creature w/ 2 Totem Armor dies... then what?
Asked by gabethatguy 9 years ago
If I have a Hyena Umbra and a Spider Umbra on a creature and the creature dies, then would both auras be removed or just one?
Just one is destroyed, but it only works if the creature would be destroyed. Dying means "is put in the graveyard from the battlefield", whereas destroy only happens as a result of effects that say destroy (like Murder) or the result of lethal damage.
As for the question, always look at the gatherer first. From the gatherer:
6/15/2010 If a permanent you control is enchanted with multiple Auras that have totem armor, and the enchanted permanent would be destroyed, one of those Auras is destroyed instead -- but only one of them. You choose which one because you control the enchanted permanent.

Hyena Umbra and Spider Umbra each have a replacement effect in the form of Totem Armor. You will choose which effect applies, and thus which Aura is destroyed. The end result is still your creature not dying.
