What happens if I enchant a creature-planeswalker and he's no longer a creature?

Asked by Chandrian 8 years ago

Gideon, Battle-Forged  ^Flip can turn into a creature, so while he's a creature I can enchant him as a creature. What happens to the enchantment-aura when he turns into a normal planeswalker again?

Will the enchantment stay and re-activate when I turn him into a creature again?

It depends.

If the Aura specifically states "Enchant creature" or could otherwise only enchant Gideon, Battle-Forged  ^Flip while it's a creature, then the enchantment will be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action if Gideon, Battle-Forged  ^Flip loses whatever characteristics make it a legally enchantable object.

If, however, you have something like Indestructibility, which enchants a permanent rather than a creature, then the enchantment will remain on Gideon, Battle-Forged  ^Flip regardless of whether Gideon, Battle-Forged  ^Flip is a creature or not.
