UnCommander Rulings
If Curse of the Fire Penguin becomes attached to a combined creature, Curse of the Fire Penguin’s controller chooses one of its creature constituents to put Curse of the Fire Penguin on top of. Only the constituent Curse of the Fire Penguin is on top of has any of its characteristics covered, the constituents share their remaining characteristics as normal, including those added by Curse of the Fire Penguin’s bottom half. Curse of the Fire Penguin is not considered a constituent.
Curse of the Fire Penguin may not be put on top of a host constituent with a constituent already on top of it, as only one constituent or object may be on top of another constituent. Curse of the Fire Penguin may be put on top of a constituent with augment, as long as no constituents or objects are on top of the constituent with augment. However, this will likely make the ability across augment and host nonfunctional, as Curse of the Fire Penguin will cover part of it.
After being put on top of a creature, Curse of the Fire Penguin is still considered an aura enchantment enchanting that creature.
Any effect that copies characteristics of enchanted creature will copy its characteristics as covered and replaced by Curse of the Fire Penguin.
If Curse of the Fire Penguin is enchanting a creature that had the Legendary supertype which is now covered by it, the legend rule will not apply to that creature, and as it is no longer legendary, it will not count when checking numbers of Legendary permanents with the same name for the legend rule.
Curse of the Fire Penguin is only considered to have the normal characteristics of the top half of the card, and the characteristics of the bottom half are ignored, in a similar manner to flip cards. Turning Curse of the Fire Penguin upside down is not flipping it, and any effects that flip permanents won’t affect its characteristics.
The characteristics of the bottom half are only used for covering and replacing characteristics of the enchanted creature. The bottom half’s characteristics may only be interacted with by effects that interact with characteristics of the enchanted creature.
If an effect copies Curse of the Fire Penguin, it copies the characteristics of both halves, so the copy will function as normal.
