Magebane

[DarkForceMaster]

When a Magebane'd opponent casts an enchantment spell face down, does he take damage?  Or wait until it's revealed?  If so, will he take damage from revealed enchantments which were placed face down before magebane was revealed?

Thanks!

The Magebane only takes effect when a spell is cast and resolved. When an enchantment is cast and placed face down on a target it triggers Magebane.  Revealing an enchantment is not casting a spell, so Magebane is not triggered.

Side note:  If the spell is countered, say by a Nullify or Jinx, the Magebane does not trigger. The spell has to successfully resolve.

So, just to get my timing right on this:
When my opponent casts a spell, and I interrupt him directly after Step 1 (Cast Spell) or Step 2 (Counter Spell) and pay the Reveal Cost for "Magebane" on him, would he then take damage after Step 3 (Resolve Spell)? He can't take the spell back, once it's cast, can he? And Magebane only triggers after Step 3 has been resolved, as far as I know.
Thanks!

I would assume because you revealed Magebane after the spell was cast that he would not take damage to resolve it, because the card says Casts and resolves. The cast happens before magebane is in effect so the requirements for the damage aren't met that time.

Correct both are required. MB see if the spell was cast and if it resolved if both are yes then it deals a point.
