Does "destroy all non-land permanents" destroy a regenerate enchantment on a creature or does the creature regenerate with the enchantment intact?

Asked by mercurae3 11 months ago

A player had Sythis, Harvest's Hand enchanted with Regeneration and a bunch of other Auras, another player used Hour of Revelation and I was wondering how to resolve it. My take was that the enchantments are destroyed but the regenerate saves the creature. The "destroy all non-land permanents" should wipe out enchantments right? But if the regenerate triggers before Hour of Revelation and effectively removes the creature and all enchantments from the field, the enchantments AND creature would survive. This seems over-powered to me for a 1 mana spell. How should we rule on this?

Regeneration does not remove anything from the battlefield. When a permanent is regenerated, the next time it would be destroyed or take lethal damage during the current turn, it instead taps, has all damage removed from it, and (I suspect this might be the point of confusion) is removed from combat, so it's not attacking or blocking.

If Hour of Revelation was cast, all enchantments on Sythis, Harvest's Hand would be destroyed. As long as the ability that grants the "regeneration shield" resolves before Hour resolves, Sythis would survive.
