Planar cleansing VS Totem Armor AND other Auras

Asked by Wissy 6 years ago

Good evening.

Let's say my opponent has a standard 1/1 creature enchanted with Spider Umbra and also Spirit Mantle with Daybreak Coronet.

I then play Planar Cleansing. I know the Totem armor will save the creature but will the other two auras attached to it also be destroyed due to the effect of Planar Cleansing?

Also; same situation - I play Wrath of God instead. I am assuming that the totem armor will save the creature AND the auras attached to it.

Thanks in advance guys

In case of Wrath of God, as it resolves, Spider Umbra will be destroyed instead of the 1/1 creature it's attached to. Everything else is unaffected because Totem Armor says: If enchanted creature would be destroyed, instead remove all damage from it and destroy this Aura. So yes, the creature and the aura's besides Spider Umbra remain unaffected.

In case of Planar Cleansing, as it resolves, everything would be destroyed at the same time, so before that happens, the Totem Armor will save the 1/1 creature by destroying Spider Umbra instead. Then Spirit Mantle and Daybreak will be destroyed aswell. So yes, the creature is saved and the aura's are destroyed.
