Yes, if you have an effect that only destroys things that your opponents control, and the aura is one of the things that it can destroy, then yes, you can destroy it even if it is attached to one of your creatures.

The short answer is that that rule basically says what I already said in the answer. What specifically are you still confused about?

That's not what it says. It's just saying that who controls the aura is separate from who controls the thing it's attached to.

<p>My dad and I have an issue since we play with cards with Ascend. We both play with auras with Enchant Creature. When is an aura under who’s control? I think when he plays an aura on a creature I control, the aura is also under my control. I tried to find the rulings, but I can't find it. </p>

Yes because when i got ten cards under my controle i get citys blessing, when one creature of me got an aura does it count as an permanent for citys blessing. As example, i got 5 lands, 4 creatures and a aura my opponent put on my creature.

OK, I understand. I am going to make some edits to your question to try to make it easier for future readers to understand.

My dad and I have an issue since we play with cards with Ascend. We both play with auras with Enchant Creature. When is an aura under who’s control? I think when he plays an aura on a creature I control, the aura is also under my control. I tried to find the rulings, but I can't find it.
