Gameplay

Enchantment — Aura

You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step. Enchant artifact Enchanted artifact has shroud. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities.)

Asmira's prayers alone should have freed Mangara from the amber prison . . .

The sacrifice occurs only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for example, if another effect allowed you to cast it as though it had flash), then it won't be sacrificed.

Does not destroy Auras which are on the artifact, and it does not prevent Auras from being moved onto the artifact.
