Cleansing Light (Red)

If you play this as though it were an instant, it is still considered playing an action card for the purposes of effects.

You may choose to play this as though it were an action, even if you can play this as though it were an instant.

You can target an aura that is on the stack waiting to resolve. If you do target an aura and it is destroyed as a result of Cleansing Light resolving, the aura’s layer on the stack does not resolve. Effects and abilities on the destroyed aura do not trigger unless they were functional before they were destroyed (e.g. Merciful Retribution that is destroyed on the stack would not trigger its own ability as it was not in the arena and functional before it was destroyed).
