About Umbra Mystic

Umbra Mystic, Creature — human wizard, designed by Matt Stewart first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.81.

This Umbra Mystic card would be beneficial in a white-based enchantment deck that focuses on protecting key permanents with auras attached to them. While it provides totem armor to auras, there are stronger options like Kor Spiritdancer or Sram, Senior Edificer that offer additional card draw or benefits when casting auras. However, Umbra Mystic could still see play in a deck looking for redundancy and additional protection for its enchantments.

Rules

13/07/18

If a permanent enchanted with an Aura that has totem armor would be destroyed by multiple state-based actions at the same time (most likely because a creature with deathtouch has dealt damage to that creature greater than or equal to its toughness) totem armor’s effect will replace all of them and save the creature.

13/07/18

Totem armor has no effect if the enchanted permanent is put into a graveyard for any other reason, such as if it’s sacrificed, if the “legend rule” applies to it, or if its toughness is 0 or less.

13/07/18

Totem armor’s effect is applied no matter why the enchanted permanent would be destroyed: because it’s been dealt lethal damage, or because it’s being affected by an effect that says to “destroy” it (such as Putrefy). In either case, all damage is removed from the permanent and the Aura is destroyed instead.

13/07/18

Totem armor’s effect is not regeneration. Specifically, if totem armor’s effect is applied, the enchanted permanent does not become tapped and is not removed from combat as a result. Effects that say the enchanted permanent can’t be regenerated (as Putrefy does) won’t prevent totem armor’s effect from being applied.

15/06/10

All _Rise of the Eldrazi_ cards printed with totem armor are Auras with “enchant creature.” But Umbra Mystic grants totem armor to Auras attached to any permanent you control, not just creatures. The ability works the same way even if the Aura is enchanting a land, an artifact, or any other permanent.

15/06/10

If a permanent you control would be destroyed, and it’s enchanted by an Aura with totem armor, it doesn’t matter who controls that Aura. The totem armor effect is mandatory. If that permanent is enchanted by multiple Auras, you choose which one is destroyed, regardless of who controls them.

15/06/10

Multiple instances of totem armor on the same Aura are redundant.
