Opal Guardian

Enchantment

It was a moment in time, cast in stone—a moment whose time had come again.

When an opponent casts a creature spell, if Opal Guardian is an enchantment, Opal Guardian becomes a 3/4 Gargoyle creature with flying and protection from red.

Rulings:

9/25/2006 Guardian’s effect doesn’t wear off.
9/25/2006 After the triggered ability resolves, Opal Guardian is no longer an enchantment.
9/25/2006 A face-down creature spell will cause Opal Guardian’s ability to trigger (if it’s an enchantment).
8/1/2008 A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=tap&type=symbol" alt="Tap" align="absbottom" /> abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
