Creature had hexproof and still was targeted
Had swiftfoot boots on on Mr. Boulder and my opponent, slippery Pete was playing yenna,redtooth regent. They made a copy of a pacifism type aura from wilds of eldrain. on my commander and they put the copy on Mr. Boulder. How is this possible?

Hexproof prevents opponents targeting the permanent with spells or abilities. The copied aura is neither a spell nor an ability, which is why it is able to enchant a creature with Hexproof

Someone else can give the exact details, but I think it was something to do with how normally Auras target something to attach when they're cast and Yenna makes one on the board & it has to be attached to something. Don't remember why it can ignore Hexproof, but I know it's not a bug.
