Illusory Gains rulings

2015-02-25
Illusory Gains's last ability is mandatory. You can't choose to have Illusory Gains not move.
2015-02-25
If Illusory Gains can't legally enchant the creature that enters the battlefield (perhaps because it has protection from blue), it remains where it is. You retain control of the creature it's currently enchanting.
2015-02-25
The last ability of Illusory Gains doesn't target the new creature. It will become attached to that creature even if that creature has hexproof or shroud.
2015-02-25
If multiple creatures enter the battlefield under an opponent's control at the same time, Illusory Gains will trigger for each of them. You may put these abilities on the stack in any order. As each resolves, you'll briefly gain control of the associated creature. The last one to resolve determines which one you'll ultimately control.

Illusory Gains keyword rules

Enchant Rule 702.5

Enchant is a static ability, written “Enchant [object or player].” The enchant ability restricts what an Aura spell can target and what an Aura can enchant.

For more information about Auras, see rule , “Enchantments.”

If an Aura has multiple instances of enchant, all of them apply. The Aura’s target must follow the restrictions from all the instances of enchant. The Aura can enchant only objects or players that match all of its enchant abilities.

Auras that can enchant a player can target and be attached to players. Such Auras can’t target permanents and can’t be attached to permanents.
