    If a green creature enchanted by Shield of the Oversoul is dealt lethal damage, the creature isn’t destroyed, but the damage remains on the creature. If Shield of the Oversoul stops enchanting that creature later in the turn, the creature will lose indestructible and will be destroyed.

  • WotCMay 1, 2008

    If an effect would simultaneously destroy Shield of the Oversoul and a green creature it’s enchanting, only the Shield is destroyed.

  • WotCMay 1, 2008

    If the enchanted creature is both of the listed colors, it will get both bonuses.
