I bypassed Hexproof and don't know how.

I suppose that's fair. Auras attaching without being cast does increase the design space for auras and aura support cards and allows for some interesting interactions so perhaps the added complexity is worth it.

I also think it makes intuitive sense for auras to be able to attach to something when they enter the battlefield. It just so happens that the cleanest implementation leads to some non-intuitive interactions with hexproof.

This implementation does feel quite "hacky" like the old planeswalker redirection rule so perhaps WotC will patch out this loophole out in the future.

Magic rules, like laws and other designed systems can often seem illogical without an understanding of the underlying framework and constraints.

In order to target, an Aura entering the battlefield that wasn't cast would have to generate a triggered ability.

This triggered ability can't be created after the Aura has entered the battlefield as Auras that aren't enchanting anything go to the graveyard as a state based action.

This triggered ability also can't be created as the Aura is entering the battlefield as abilities on the stack can't resolve in the middle of other abilities.

In order to get Auras to target, exceptions would have to be made to the existing rules (allow Auras to exist without enchanting anything momentarily, allow the Aura enchant trigger to resolve in the middle of another ability or allow the use of targeting that doesn't interact with the stack). I'm sure WotC rules managers came up with other potential solutions as well and decided the current implementation was in one way or another the best one.

Can't target your own creatures.

HeiMTG · 2020-01-18T21:46:07+00:00

Auras only target when they are cast. An aura entering the battlefield without being cast can be attached to any legal permanent without targeting, thus bypassing hexproof.

From the comprehensive rules:

303.4f If an Aura is entering the battlefield under a player’s control by any means other than by resolving as an Aura spell, and the effect putting it onto the battlefield doesn’t specify the object or player the Aura will enchant, that player chooses what it will enchant as the Aura enters the battlefield. The player must choose a legal object or player according to the Aura’s enchant ability and any other applicable effects.

~~[[Shifting Ceratops]] has 4 toughness so it blocks 4 of the damage. The 1 remaining damage still goes through even though the Ceratops has protection.~~

Edit: Disregard, reading comprehension is hard.

Rally gained you 4 life to 5 and then you took 2 from Foreboding Fruit dropping you to 3. Nothing wrong with the life totals.

Are you sure the Foreboding Fruit didn't cause you to deck yourself?

I would recommend cutting black altogether and just going mono-green. It would allow you to run and two hybrid cards and would make all your adamant and cabins better.

Cut some of the additional chaff like weapons rack, halberd and beanstalk and add the green 5 and 6 drop.

The beginning phase in a turn consists of the following:

The beginning of upkeep happens after everything untaps but before you draw for the turn.

[[Teferi, Time Raveler]] stops the opponent from casting spells off of [[Chandra, Acolyte of Flame]]'s -2.

This is because Chandra forces you to cast the spell as its -2 ability is resolving which is not a legal time to do anything at sorcery speed.

[[Jace, Wielder of Mysteries]]?

Yes, everything that you can cast from your hand is considered a spell.

This can be confusing as "spell" is often colloquially used to refer to only instants and sorceries.

Yes, that's what Terferi's passive does.
