Siren's call rulings

Asked by grennpowerhouse 2 years ago

I think this is a little bit of wishful thinking, but do I cast Siren's Call on any opponents turn, or does it have to be the opponent that I am targeting turn

Cards do what their oracle text is. Sometimes (mostly on older cards) this isn't want is printed on the card. The oracle text of Siren's Call is:

"Cast this spell only during an opponent’s turn, before attackers are declared.

Creatures the active player controls attack this turn if able.

At the beginning of the next end step, destroy all non-Wall creatures that player controls that didn’t attack this turn. Ignore this effect for each creature the player didn’t control continuously since the beginning of the turn."

So it no longer targets, good against something like Runed Halo or Aegis of the Gods . But it only affects the active player, so you will not be able to unconditionally wipe one opponent in a multi-player game.
