Question by Jake D: In Magic the Gathering,do creatures affected by a global enchantment count as enchanted creatures?
Wondering if Bad Moon would enchant creatures so Greater Auramancy can give them shroud. Seems like if they needed an actual enchantment on them, then it would say “creatures with enchantments”.
Best answer:
Answer by Dax
No, because Enchantments that enchant creatures are Aura. It’s a subtype of Enchantments, and it means that it has to enchant a permanent.
On cards, it would usually say “Enchanted Creature”.
So, Greater Auramancy won’t give “Shroud” to all creatures, even if an Enchantment is on field that affects creatures.

Dax is right.
Bad Moon isn’t enchanting your creatures. It’s ability is effecting creatures, but it isn’t enchanting them. To Enchant a creature, you must play an Enchantment – Aura (older cards say Enchant Creature).
Bad Moon is just a normal Enchantment. It comes on the field and sits there doing whatever it does. Creatures may be effected by it, but they don’t gain shroud because it isn’t Enchanting anyone.
However, Bad Moon gets shroud because it is an enchantment, and Greater Auramancy effects Enchantments.
