Title: Apostle's Blessing
Post by: Ghebert on August 09, 2012, 07:19:51 PM
Say my opponent has a creature out and wants to enchant it with a white spell. Can I use {Apostle's Blessing} to give his creature pro white and not have the spell target it? Or since it's his creature and enchantment, it doesn't matter?

Since the spell says "You control" I would say you couldn't do it. However if it just said "Target creature" you could.

People have used {Stave Off} to get rid of Auras before.

So if I use {Stave Off} on an opponents creature that is already enchanted with the color I pick, will the enchantment fall off?

Also, if I play stave off on an opponents creature in response to the opponent enchanting that creature, I can stop the enchantment?

Yes to both.  Protection stops auras, and prevents targeting.

What's the reason?

Bc the protection is under my control?

Edit:  Now I see.
         Protection from white (this creature can't be blocked..... TARGETED...., by anything white).
