Animate Dead + Enchantment Alteration/Crown of the Ages

[Jukka Lehtinen]

If I move Animate Dead on another creature, what happens? I think the
formerly enchanted creature stays in play, losing it's -1/-0, and the newly
enchanted creature gets -1/-0, and that's all. Is this right? Also, can i
move the enchantment on another creature card in a graveyard, thus bringing
up another creature... and another... and another...?

Animate Dead
1B
Enchantment
When Animate Dead comes into play, if it's in play, it becomes an enchant
creature. Put target creature card from a graveyard into play under your
control enchanted by Animate Dead.
Enchanted creature gets -1/-0.
When Animate Dead leaves play, destroy enchanted creature. It can't be
regenerated.

That's right.

No, you cannot. EA/CotA only move an enchantment to another permanent in
play. A "dead creature" can't be enchanted.

What if the Animate Dead is moved on a creature already in play and then
gets destroyed/bounced? Does the creature it was enchanting (at that moment)
die even if it was summoned "as normal"?

it would seem so, Animate dead is whats keeping the dead creature alive.

Yep. And the one you took from the graveyard would remain in play.

That's right. Also, the new creature is now the one that would be affected
by "When Animate Dead leaves play, destroy enchanted creature. It can't
be regenerated."

If you had some way to do this, sure - but no such way exists in Magic.
Animate Dead is an Enchantment spell, is an Enchantment permanent for a
short time after coming into play, then becomes an Enchant Creature
permanent. Nothing in Magic exists that can "move an enchantment onto
a card in a graveyard"; if you think you've found one, you're either
mistaken, or are reading something into Enchantment Alteration or Crown of
the Ages that's not actually there...

>thus bringing

Nope. Once it becomes an Enchant Creature, it has to enchant a -creature-
- it's not legal to try to put it onto a creature card in someone's
graveyard then, since that's not a -creature- (it's not in play).

Yep. The last ability triggers when AD leaves play, and when it resolves
affects the creature AD was enchanting when it left play (if that creature
is still in play). It doesn't care what the target creature card for the first
ability was, because it doesn't say it does - it just says it affects
"enchanted creature", which gets determined when the ability resolves (and
which, since the AD is out of play now, has to look back to what the AD was
enchanting when last it was seen in play - a slight abuse of Last Known
Information, but one necessary to make this work).
