19. Michelle controls a Seal of Cleansing and an Opalescence. Russell targets the Seal of Cleansing with a Desert Twister. Michelle plays a Reverent Mantra in response. When the Reverent Mantra resolves, Michelle chooses green. Before the Desert Twister resolves, Russell plays a Disenchant targeting the Opalescence. The Opalescence and Disenchant are put into their graveyards. What happens when the Desert Twister attempts to resolve?

Desert Twister (4GG, Sorcery)
Destroy target permanent.

Disenchant (1W, Instant)
Destroy target artifact or enchantment.

Opalescence (2WW, Enchantment)
Each other global enchantment is a creature with power and toughness each equal to its converted mana cost. It's still an enchantment.

All creatures gain protection from the color of your choice until end of turn.

Seal of Cleansing (1W, Enchantment)
Sacrifice Seal of Cleansing: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.

a) The Desert Twister originally targeted a creature. Because the Seal of Cleansing is now just an enchantment, the Desert Twister is countered on resolution.

c) Reverent Mantra can only affect creatures. The Seal of Cleansing is no longer a creature. The Desert Twister destroys the Seal of Cleansing.
