Does Radiant Performer work with auras?
Asked by Madcookie 4 years ago
I wonder if Radiant Performer works with auras's enchant ability such as
1 - Captured by the Consulate to neuter all opponent's creatures and protect my own
2 - Confiscate to gain control of every permanent
3 - Paradox Haze to enchant everyone and give them extra upkeeps
To be clear, this works because Enchant is a keyword that means "this spell enters the battlefield attached to target object," which is why an Aura is a targeted spell. When a copy of a permanent spell resolves, it creates a token that's a copy of the original card, so you'll create token Auras attached to the available targets.

Specifically, it’s because of this rule:
303.4a An Aura spell requires a target, which is defined by its enchant ability.
It’ll create token auras on the stack each targeting every other object that enchantment could target. They’ll resolve one at a time, each entering the battlefield attached to their respective targets

Yes this is one of the few cards that can do this with spells besides instants and sorceries.
Casting an aura spell intrinsically targets something, whether be a creature you don’t control, a permanent, or whatever.
Radiant Performer will copy any aura spell that targets a single target, creating a copy of said aura for any and all applicable targets.
