About Gnarled Scarhide

Gnarled Scarhide, Enchantment creature — minotaur, designed by Greg Staples first released in May, 2014 in the set Journey into Nyx. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.30.

Gnarled Scarhide could be useful in an aggressive black deck looking to apply pressure early on, as it provides a boost to an attacking creature while also potentially disrupting the opponent's blockers. However, there are likely better options available, such as cards that provide more consistent value or have additional abilities that impact the board in a more significant way. Overall, Gnarled Scarhide may not see much play in competitive decks due to its limited impact compared to other available options.

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.
