If I cast Vines of Vastwood on an opponents creature can he put buffs or auras on it.

Asked by ArkhangelAzrael 14 years ago

s it possible to use a Vines of Vastwood to prevent an enemy for enchanting or buffing one of his own creatures?

Yeah, I see no conflict here. Vines of Vastwood states that target creature cannot be targeted by "your" opponent this turn. So it should work.

Yes

If your opponent targets his creature with something, let's say Bear Umbra , you can cast Vines of Vastwood as a response to the Umbra. So as you where the one who casted the Vines then the creature has shroud against spells from your opponents.

Yeah, I had never thought of using Vines of Vastwood like this before as well. But, I've never played a deck that runs Vines so I wouldn't really think of ways to abuse its effects. Nice job on abusing your cards. :D

I thought Bear Umbra 's target was not chosen until it resovles because of the line "Enchant Creature"

While the wording doesn't say so specifically, I believe any "enchant creature" spells are inherently targeting as they attempt to resolve. Vines of Vastwood would be put on the top of the stack after Bear Umbra was cast, so the umbra would fizzle as an illegal target by the time it resolved.
