Title: Planeswalkers
Post by: NOTthi5guy on June 05, 2014, 04:11:01 AM
Are plans walkers actually considered opponents? I know they are considered players, but does that actually make them an opponent as well?

In terms of aesthetics and lore, all players are planes walkers. In terms of game play, planes walkers refers to cards of that type only, and any card refer in to a planes walker is referring to a card of that type. An opponent is referencing the player. So in answer to your question, planes walkers are not opponents in terms of playing the game. If you wish to immerse yourself more fully into the game, feel free to refer to yourself and your opponents as planes walkers as long as you remember that your card isn't referring to your opponent.

Although if a card states "Target player", you may redirect that damage to a Planeswalker that they control. For example, {Lightning Bolt}. You may {Lightning Bolt} them, then redirect to a {Jace the Mind Sculptor} at 3 loyalty in order to kill Jace

And if something says destroy target planeswalker such as  {Hero's Downfall} or  {Dreadbore} then that doesn't effect your opponent
I really wish it did just for the laughs
