Does [Tribal Unity] work on Elves under the influence of [Eladamri, Lord of Leaves]?
Asked by seeBanane 12 years ago
As far as I know global effects ignore shroud, correct?If all elves have shroud, but get globally boosted by [Tribal Unity], do they get the bonus or not?
You are correct. Shroud, and similarly hexproof, prevents a permanent from being targeted, but it can still be affected by global effects.

So they don't counter each other out? Great, thanks! :)

It doesn't say the word "target" on it therefore it doesn't target.
Phantasmal Image didn't target either, and was therefore able to copy Geist of Saint Traft (thus causing him to be sacked due to legend rule)

Since Tribal Unity doesn't target a specific creature, it isn't affected by shroud.
If Tribal Unity was worded similar to card:Pack's Disdain, though, an elf you control could not be the target of the spell. However, you could choose "elf" as the creature type, but target a non-elf creature with the spell.

Sam_I_am legends subject to the legend rule aren't saced they are "placed into their owner's graveyard" (Sigarda, Host of Herons wouldn't prevent a legend rule death.)
Not trying to be a dink, just tryin to preven confusion.

@Ohthenoises: just to be a bit of a jerk I'm gonna point out that even IF the Legend rule required one to sac the legendary permanent, Sigarda, Host of Herons wouldn't prevent anything. As the Legend rule isn't a spell or ability and isn't controlled by anyone. (Hehe. just trolling)

Lol fair enough. I just see that pop up on the Q&A so much I figured I'd point it out. "Can Sigarda, Host of Herons prevent legend rule" etc etc.
