If I have two umbras on one creature, and it gets destroyed, do I remove both umbras or just one? Do I get to choose which one?

Asked by marin274 13 years ago

Lets say I have a creature, I put two umbras on it, so it has two totem armors. It gets dealt enough damage to get destroyed...do I remove both umbras or just one?

Only one umbra is destroyed. The Totem Armor ability creates a replacement effect for your creature being destroyed, and you can't replace the same event multiple times so only one umbra has to go.

6/15/2010 If a permanent you control is enchanted with multiple Auras that have totem armor, and the enchanted permanent would be destroyed, one of those Auras is destroyed instead -- but only one of them. You choose which one because you control the enchanted permanent.

You get to choose one to take the hit. It's a replacement effect that replaces the destruction of a creature, and when one umbra does its stuff and dies, then the other Totem Aura ability still triggers, but since there's no longer a destruction queued up, so to speak, it doesn't have to die as well.
