Asked by SilentClockwork 5 years ago
Vow of Duty If I enchant an opponent's creature, can it not attack me or is it that it can't attack my opponent?

I have gone ahead and marked pskinn01's answer as accepted this time, but would appreciate if you could take care of this in the future.
Just for reference, here is the rule:
303.4e An Aura’s controller is separate from the enchanted object’s controller or the enchanted player; the two need not be the same. If an Aura enchants an object, changing control of the object doesn’t change control of the Aura, and vice versa. Only the Aura’s controller can activate its abilities. However, if the Aura grants an ability to the enchanted object (with “gains” or “has”), the enchanted object’s controller is the only one who can activate that ability.
A similar rule exists for equipment and fortifications, though it generally takes a bit more work to equip artifacts to an opponent's creatures.

It cannot attack the enchantment's controller. Which if you cast it, is usually you. But there are things that let people gain control of enchantments.
