Title: Splinertwin Legendary
Post by: Balefire Hellkite on January 18, 2015, 11:38:59 AM
If I put {splintertwin} on a legendary creature, will the token kill the original because they'd both be legendary? Let's say I put Splintertwin on {Isperia, Supreme Judge} to draw multiple cards when my opponent attacked me. Do they both die from each other?

The Legend rule says you have to sacrifice one of them.

Note: they are not sacrificed, they are merely put into the graveyard
