  • Unless you have Logos as one of the three houses on your Archon identity card, you will not be able to choose Logos. [REDACTED] is considered to be of house Shadows (and only house Shadows) due to Sneklifter’s ability.

My opponent has [REDACTED] (AOA 139) in play. I play Sneklifter (COTA 313) and take control of [REDACTED]. Sneklifter’s ability means [REDACTED] is considered to be of house Shadows. Does that mean I couldn’t declare Logos as my active house to resolve [REDACTED]’s ability?

  • Yes. Sneklifter’s lasting effect on Spangler Box applies until Spangler Box leaves play. If your opponent takes control of Spangler Box, and then you take control of it at a later time, Sneklifter’s lasting effect will make Spangler Box belong to house Shadows again.

I play Sneklifter (COTA 313) and take control of a Spangler Box (COTA 132) that is under the control of my opponent, making it a house Shadows artifact while under my control. I use Spangler Box, returning control to my opponent and Spangler Box’s house to Logos. On a later turn, my opponent uses Spangler Box again and it returns to my control. Will Spangler Box’s house return to Shadows due to the lasting effect provided by Sneklifter?
