All those auras that stop creatures from attacking/blocking/using abilities would be pretty pointless if you couldnt put them on your opponent's creatures.

If it says "Enchant Creature" then that is all it means, but if it says "Enchant Creature you control" then you can only do that instead.

Hope that helps

That makes no sense to me.

If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch . YAY COLOR IDENTITY

I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

You are welcome to cast Goblin War Paint or Immolation on an opponent's creature. You cannot cast Fire Whip on an opponent's creature (because it does not match the enchant ability).

You were lied to. If an aura says "Enchant Creature", you may enchant any creature. If it says "Enchant creature you control", then you may only target your own creatures.
Ever feel like people on these forums can't possibly understand how wrong they are? Feeling trolled? Don't get mad. Report Post.

You are also welcome to Swerve his Celestial Mantle spell (before it resolves and enters the field attached to his creature) on to your creature if you want.
