Carte Magic Enduring Angel // Angelic Enforcer

Enduring Angel // Angelic Enforcer is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Flying, double strike You have hexproof. If your life total would be reduced to 0 or less, instead transform this creature and your life total becomes 3. Then if this creature didn't transform this way, you lose the game. Flying You have hexproof. Angelic Enforcer's power and toughness are each equal to your life total. Whenever this creature attacks, double your life total.

How it works : Enduring Angel // Angelic Enforcer

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Applying the replacement effect can't cause Enduring Angel to transform if it isn't a double-faced permanent; that is, if it's a token or if a single-faced permanent has become a copy of it. In that situation, you will lose the game.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Enduring Angel's last ability is a replacement effect. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. Notably, players cannot try to destroy Enduring Angel to prevent it from transforming and cause you to lose the game.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If a nonmodal double-faced card has somehow become a copy of Enduring Angel, the replacement effect will apply, the copy of Enduring Angel will transform, and your life total will become 3. However, because the copy effect that makes it Enduring Angel continues to apply to it after it transforms, it will still be a copy of Enduiring Angel. This means that the replacement effect will be applied again if your life total would be reduced to 0 or less a second time while that copy effect is still applied.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
