Title: Indestructible planeswalker
Post by: average_j03 on November 08, 2012, 05:28:29 AM
Would a planeswalker with  {Indestructibility} lose loyalty counters if dealt damage?

Yes. It just wouldnt be dedtroyed by {Maelstrom pulse} for example.
And indestructable creature still takes damage for cases with lifelink or infect/wither. Taking lethal damage (damage that excedes the creatures toughness) wont destroy it however.
So planeswalkers still take damage and still lose counters in this event.

If the planeswalker is zero loyalty counters then, is it destroyed? Or does it just stay on the field waiting to be pumped up again?

Think of 0 loyalty in the same way you think of 0 p/t

If it gets to 0 it's gone.

When PWs get to 0 theyre sacrificed, not destroyed. Indestructible does not help.

Are you sure they're sacrificed and not just "dies" (put into the graveyard from the battlefield)?

They are moved to the graveyard as a state-based action that does not use the stack and cannot be responded to.

It's technically different, but effectively very similar to sacrificing.

Not that it would work but i was thinking of effects like {It that betrays}
