If I have Starfield of Nyx, will new enchantments have summoning sickness?
Asked by Mr_Radical 9 years ago
By "new enchantments," I mean ones that just entered the battlefield. So if I have Starfield of Nyx along with 4 other enchantments down, and then I cast a non-aura enchantment, will it have summoning sickness as a creature when it enters? Also, do you control an enchantment while it's still on the stack, or only after it enters the battlefield?

Thanks, Raging_Squiggle. Does Starfield of Nyx refer to just enchantment permanents, or both?

Whenever a card mentions a card type, without including "spell" or "card" afterwards, it always references that card type that's on the battlefield. (See Starfield of Nyx's second ability).
A "spell" is only something of that type on the stack. (See Dispel for an example).
And a "card" is something that's neither on the battlefield nor on the stack. (See Exhume, Buried Alive, and Braids, Conjurer Adept).

All permanents come into play with summoning sickness. It only affects creatures though.
If a non-creature permanent comes into play and is animated or comes in as a creature, it will be affected by sommuning sickness.
When it's on the stack, you control the enchantment spell. Once it enters the battlefield, you now control the enchantment permanent.
