unstable mutation/mishra's factory interaction

[hollowbody]

if you cast unstable mutation on mishra's factory after it has been activated, does the enchantment beome invalid at the end of turn? i suspect it does as it would not be a legal target. i'm wondering if you can unstabley mutate it, or anything for that matter, and not have it become subject to the -1/-1 counters.

I believe the enchantment stops enchanting the creature and gets put into your graveyard when Mishra's Factory stops being a creature, I.E., at the end of turn. 

If the unstable mutation doesn't die when Factory reverts to being a land, then it still gets the -1/-1s.  I really wish I knew the rules better myself, honestly.

I think Equipment functions differently, though.  Like, you can Jitte a Blinkmoth Nexus, and the Nexus remains Jitted even when it land-state, although I don't know.

Equipment falls off.

Enchantments constantly check to make sure what they are enchanting is legal. i.e, is it still a guy? did it ever get pro blue and the like? This means that once Factory stops being a creature, any enchantments on it will fall off it.

If you manage to get a P/T modifying counter on a Mishra's Factory (Battlegrowth for example), the Factory will keep the counter when It reverts to its non creature state at end of turn. The counter will sit here doing nothing until the Factory is animated again.

If you play under Eon hub you will never enter the upkeep state, so there will never be a -1/-1 counter on it preventing any creature to die having a permanent +3/+3 enchantment on it. This is off course if you do not put it on MF as it will fall off at end of turn when MF returns to his land state.

yeah, i was pretty sure that the MF would lose the enchantment, although the +1/+1 counters that battlegrowth give it are interesting. i guess counters are permanents that don't constantly check to see what they are modifying, but continue to modify the correct type of card if and when it becomes a legal target.

this is all part of trying to come up with a UG Stompy deck. In anticipation of the next expansion (I forget what its called), which is supposed to have gold cards of opposite colors, or so i am led to believe. All this occurred after I found some magic cards I thought I had lost (or sold) containing several Serendib Efreets and other tasty creatures from waaaay back when.
