Title: Indestructibles
Post by: Indiana Brones on April 03, 2012, 07:18:07 PM
Say if I'm using {Elspeth Tirel} and I choose to use his ability to destroy all permanents except land and tokens.

There's a creature on the field with an artifact that makes it indestructible (I apologize for lack of example card).

Would the creature be destroyed, or would just the artifact be destroyed and the creature survive?

I think just the artifact unless the artifact is indestructible too like {darksteel plate}

If SHE (;)) destroys everything, the creature will survive even if Elspeth's ability destroys the artifact. Your creature will lose indestructible status after her ability is finished and the artifact is gone.

You know, that doesn't even make any sense. How could a flying, indestructible angel slip and fall to her death? ???

I suppose it would have to be tragic circumstances.

It couldn't be a {Darksteel Forge} because its ability make itself indestructible. the best example I can think of is {Shield of the Oversoul}. Elspeth's ability would destroy the Aura but not the creature because at the time of destruction the creature is still indestructible, as Jester said.

Hence the reason it is tragic?
