It&#8217;s not that bad this time, but there have been quite a few questions about how it works with the enchantment creatures from Theros block. So let&#8217;s dive right in!<\/p>\n<p>We have a Starfield of Nyx on the battlefield, and enough enchantments on the battlefield to turn on the Starfield&#8217;s animation effect. Then we cast a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Courser+of+Kruphix&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Courser of Kruphix<\/a>. What happens to the Courser? What are its power and toughness?<\/p>\n<p>Since the Courser is a non-aura enchantment, it is affected by the Starfield&#8217;s ability. When we determine what the creature&#8217;s power and toughness will be, we start with the creature&#8217;s printed power and toughness, then we apply the effect of the Starfield. Since the converted mana cost of the Courser is three, the Courser ends up as a 3\/3 creature, instead of a 2\/4 creature.<\/p>\n<p>So Starfield of Nyx can transform your Courser from a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Colossodon+Yearling&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Colossodon Yearling<\/a> into a more aggressive <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Trained+Armodon&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Trained Armodon<\/a>.
