About Spirespine

Spirespine, Enchantment creature — beast, designed by Sam Burley first released in May, 2020 in the set Journey into Nyx.

Spirespine could be beneficial in a green aggro or midrange deck looking to apply pressure and control the board with its blocking ability and power boost. However, there are potentially better options such as Nylea's Forerunner, which offers a similar power boost and evasion with trample, making it more versatile in various situations. Spirespine could see play in specific metas where its abilities align well with the deck's strategy, but overall, it may not be a top-tier choice compared to other options available.

Rules

04/26/14

Auras attached to a creature don’t become tapped when the creature becomes tapped. Except in some rare cases, an Aura with bestow remains untapped when it becomes unattached and becomes a creature.

04/26/14

On the stack, a spell with bestow is either a creature spell or an Aura spell. It’s never both, although it’s an enchantment spell in either case.

04/26/14

Similarly, if you cast an Aura spell with bestow targeting a creature controlled by another player, and that creature is an illegal target when the spell tries to resolve, it will finish resolving as an enchantment creature spell. It will enter the battlefield under your control.

04/26/14

Unlike other Auras, an Aura with bestow isn’t put into its owner’s graveyard if it becomes unattached. Rather, the effect making it an Aura ends, it loses enchant creature, and it remains on the battlefield as an enchantment creature. It can attack (and its abilities can be activated, if it has any) on the turn it becomes unattached if it’s been under your control continuously, even as an Aura, since your most recent turn began.

04/26/14

You still control the Aura, even if it’s enchanting a creature controlled by another player.
