Any recurring aura is brutal with this, rancor especially. It's bad enough they can't hardly kill the aura in the first place; it's worse when every kill spell becomes card disadvantage.

I have a question for you all (I'm still learning). So, my creatures have totem armor with Umbra Mystic and I also have a Sterling Grove out. My enchanted creature is dealt lethal damage, so I get to destroy an aura instead. Since Sterling Grove shrouds my auras, does this essentially create an indestructible creature? Or can Sterling Grove not prevent the lethal damage to the totem armor? Thanks!

@elledestroyer

'Fraid not, look at the wording.

"destroy an Aura attached to it"

It's nonspecific, it's just saying you destroy one of the auras attached. So you'd have to lose an aura.

On the interesting side, if we have a way to get an indestructible enchantment... then the ability would attempt and fail to destroy the aura, giving us an also indestructible creature.

So this is a decent card... but my friend plays it in his Bruna, Light of Alabaster EDH deck. It becomes a serious threat in that environment, because it basically makes his general, which thanks to her insane aura-gathering is now a 21/21 unblockable beatstick, also damn near unkillable. Bounce her? He'll just replay her and she'll get all her umbral auras back next turn. Exile? He'll command zone her and take the loss of tempo to do the same next turn. Oh, and of course he's put far more protection on the Mystic than anything else, so it's sticking around...

Seriously, I hate Bruna in EDH. So, so much. She should be banned as a general, at least.

I always think of Judi Dench when I see this card. Probably rate it one star higher than it should be for that reason :)
