    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.

    Some cards refer to you having a “full party.” This is true if the number of creatures in your party is four.

    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.

    No abilities of the affected permanent can be activated, including mana abilities.
