Hide in Mundanity card removing reach and giving reach back with ArchAngler's Skyrod puts the card into an unusual state
So I cast Hide in Mundanity onto my enemy's Alenni, Blood Recruiter, enchanted with a Chosen By Valvagoth & equipped with a Archangler's Skyrod. As I understand it, this should make him an 11/11 with defender and either reach and the "attack causes tapping" or no other abilities, depending on the rules (the Hide in Mundanity was the last to be cast on Alenni. Then I attack with my "Eztli of the Thousand Moons," which innately flies, equipped with an Angler's Shield. the attack is 'blocked' by the Alenni, but no damage is done to me. it almost seemed automatic, as if the opponent didn't even choose the blocks. at one point, I had my own Archangler's Skyrod, which I used to TAP his Alenni, but it STILL did the "automatic block but with no damage to my creature." situation. He was able to block like 7 turns and I eventually died running out of cards. what da heckies??

img 2 is the double-baloney "blocking while tapped" jammy.
Thanks for your help on this <3

Chosen by Valgavoth:
"All damage that would be dealt to you is dealt to enchanted creature instead."
This is an ability of the aura, so is not affected by Hide in Mundanity.
