God Cards vs. Claustrophobia
Asked by TrollNtrample 11 years ago
Let's imagine I'm playing a match against someone who has a God creature on the field, and their devotion count is high enough to make their God a creature. Now since God's are indestructible, I play a Claustrophobia to incapacitate him or her. Now what happens when they're devotion count falls below the requirement for them to be a creature? Does nothing happen and they stay tapped with my enchantment, or once they're no longer a creature, do they untap and Claustrophobia heads to my graveyard?

Well thanks again for answering another one of my questions :)
Stay tuned, I'll probably ponder up some more for you to help me with.

If an Aura is enchanting something, then the thing changes types, so it no longer falls under what the Aura can enchant, the Aura falls off as a state-based action.
That said, the God enchanted by Claustrophobia will still stay tapped until its controller's next untap step. Claustrophobia doesn't say "When Claustrophobia leaves play, untap enchanted creature".

Whenever the object to which an Aura is attached stops being a legal object for that Aura to enchant, the Aura is put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action.
Because Claustrophobia can only enchant a creature, it will fall off if it's enchanting a God card that suddenly stops being a creature. The God will untap normally, but it won't somehow untap immediately just because Claustrophobia fell off.
