What happens if you cast an aura, say... Mind Control, then somebody Shelters your target?

Asked by ilikeoldcardsbetter 14 years ago

this came up in a game recently. My friend wanted to Mind Control my 10/10 Thunder-Thrash Elder . Not wanting to lose him, I gave him pro from blue with Shelter .

I wasn't sure what should be done with Mind Control after everything resolved. I thought it would be put into the graveyard.

The Mind Control would just fall off, and yes, be put into the graveyard.

If I'm not mistaken. (I'm pretty sure I'm not, but you never know :D)

Because the Mind Control would no longer had a valid target, it would not resolve and be put into the grave yard.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

nope - your both right.

702.14c A permanent or player with protection can't be enchanted by Auras that have the stated quality. Such Auras attached to the permanent or player with protection will be put into their owners' graveyards as a state-based action. (See rule 704, "State-Based Actions.")
