Shandalar - Program Bugs

Guardian Beast adds shroud to artifacts instead of making them unenchantable (fix completed in vcs)

 

I'm not certain if the indestructibility works (though it doesn't add the icon); preventing loss of control should work properly, but I haven't tested it.

I'm not certain whether the artifacts should be invalid targets for auras, or if they should zap already-existing auras off, either. Current wording is, in part, "noncreature artifacts you control can't be enchanted"; I can't find anything in the comprehensive rules that addresses this wording, nor any rulings on this or similar cards.

From it's oracle text on gatherer:
This effect doesn't remove Auras already attached to those artifacts.

Oh, duh, thanks.

It's still unclear whether it's legal to cast an aura targeting a protected artifact, and if so, where the aura goes at resolution - I can see support in the comprehensive rules either to put it into the graveyard or to leave it in the caster's hand.

Card rewritten for GG, using HS's miscellaneous protection system.

I still can't find a ruling as to whether a permanent with "can't be enchanted" can be legally targeted with an Aura spell. Nothing in rule 702.5 (Enchant) or 303 (Enchantments) address this directly; 303.4g comes closest. I went with "no" as the least-effort option.
