Interaction between Brago, King Eternal and Steal Enchantment
Asked by CamraMaan 6 months ago
If I gain control of an opponent's enchantment with Steal Enchantment, then flicker Steal Enchantment with Brago, King Eternal, will I keep control of the enchantment, or is my control of it tied to Steal Enchantment...? I could see this answer going either way, but my guess is I lose control of it.
TIA!

I assume your own response being marked as the accepted answer means you were able to resolve it on your own. You do lose control of whatever Steal Enchantment was attached to.
Printed rules text on older versions of cards is usually not a good reference for how the card works within the current rules. Most of the time it won't add anything helpful and sometimes it might even suggest something incorrect. Templating conventions for rules text have changed a lot over the years and so have the rules themselves. Always use the current Oracle text to determine how a card works within the current rules.

Yes, my apologies, it was a late-night thought, probably too late... sometimes I wish I could delete a post/response. This was one of those times.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I think Brago can flicker an Agent of Treachery over and over, Agent has no return clause.

Does "You control enchanted enchantment" tie your control of the other enchantment to Steal Enchantment? Versus the older text, which would have more implied a new controller regardless of whether Steal Enchantment stayed on the battlefield...?
