I have a True Believer out which gives me shroud. My opponent has an enchantment that says that each player must sacrifice whenever he sacrifices a card. Does the enchantment target me, thus allowing me to avoid the effect, or does the enchantment still have its effect despite me having shroud?

"Shroud" means "This permanent or player can't be the target of spells or abilities." Unless the ability specifically uses the word target, it is not affected by shroud. I'm not sure which enchantment you are talking about, but if it says each player, like Grave Pact, then it is not affected by shroud. If it says target opponent or target player, then it is affected by shroud. Note that there is a subtype of Enchantment, Curse, which have the line Enchant Player. These Enchantment Aura spells do target a player when they are on the stack, so they are affected by shroud. |

If you have True Believer out, you have shroud. You cannot be the target of spells or abilities. If a spell like Grace Pact comes along, you still must sacrifice, because you are not a target. As an analogy, Mist Leopard still dies to Day of Judgment. If a spell like Curse of Bloodletting comes along, you're safe because the Aura targets you by definition (CR303.4a), but you are an illegal target. You're also safe from Lightning Bolt and its ilk. |
