Gameplay and rules
Legendary Creature — Angel Wizard
Flying
At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you have a full party, choose target nonland permanent an opponent controls. Until your next turn, it can't attack or block, and its activated abilities can't be activated.
Sacrifice Linvala: Choose hexproof or indestructible. Creatures you control gain that ability until end of turn.

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have a colon in their reminder text. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected.
wotc25 Sept 2020
In a multiplayer game, if you leave the game after Linvala’s middle ability resolves but before your next turn begins, its effect lasts until your next turn would have begun. It neither expires immediately nor lasts indefinitely.
wotc25 Sept 2020
Linvala’s middle ability won’t trigger at all if you don’t have a full party as your combat phase begins. It won’t affect the target if you don’t have a full party as it resolves. The number of creatures in your party may change between these times, however.
wotc25 Sept 2020
No abilities of the affected permanent can be activated, including mana abilities.
wotc25 Sept 2020
Some cards refer to you having a “full party.” This is true if the number of creatures in your party is four.
wotc25 Sept 2020
The nonland permanent remains affected until your next turn even if the number of creatures in your party changes or Linvala leaves the battlefield.
