Crystalline Nautilus, Enchantment creature — nautilus, designed by Brad Rigney first released in May, 2014 in the set Journey into Nyx.
Crystalline Nautilus could be a valuable addition to a control or tempo deck looking to disrupt opponents' strategies by forcing them to sacrifice key creatures when targeting the enchanted creature. However, its vulnerability to removal may limit its effectiveness, and other cards like Detention Sphere or Banishing Light offer more versatile removal options without the drawback of self-sacrifice, making them potentially better choices for deck inclusion.

An Aura that becomes a creature is no longer put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action. Rather, it becomes unattached and remains on the battlefield as long as it’s a creature. While it’s a creature, it can’t be attached to another permanent or player. An Aura that’s not attached to a legal permanent or player as defined by its enchant ability and also isn’t a creature will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action.

Crystalline Nautilus’s middle ability functions as long as Crystalline Nautilus is on the battlefield, whether it’s a creature or an Aura.

If a permanent with bestow enters the battlefield by any method other than being cast, it will be an enchantment creature. You can’t choose to pay the bestow cost and have it become an Aura.

If the enchanted creature leaves the battlefield, the Aura stops being an Aura and remains on the battlefield. Control of that permanent doesn’t change; you’ll control the resulting enchantment creature.

Unlike other Aura spells, an Aura spell with bestow isn’t countered if its target is illegal as it begins to resolve. Rather, the effect making it an Aura spell ends, it loses enchant creature, it returns to being an enchantment creature spell, and it resolves and enters the battlefield as an enchantment creature.
