      You are correct but this is mtg so effect and affect both have a different check associated with them that can apply differently to weird shit like “copy” effects. Affect here means the affected player is being modified, effect means the spell is being modified.

          A “spell effect” is a type of thing in mtg. Its saying the enchantment affects the spell itself not the effect of the spell. I can’t think of an example where that would make a difference but if there is an MTG player will exploit it.

          The closest thing I can think of is some copy spells append wording and if it appends multiple lines of text to another spell “effect” wouldn’t stop it in certain situations that “affect” would.

    I’m pretty sure no card can conjure me into existence, no matter how many or few lines of text they have… :P
