Title: Soul Bound
Post by: cltrn81 on April 21, 2012, 10:40:02 AM
The way I read soulbound is that any new creatures entering the BF can change the target of soulbound.  The only thing that is conflicting is the wording that states they stay paired until one leaves the BF......so can you change the soulbound to a new creature if the 2 originals are still on the BF?

I dot think so.  It wouldn't make sense flavor wise either you only have one soulmate in this world.  It says they remain paired until you lose control of one of them. 

If a creature with souldbond entered the battlefield it wouldn't be able to pair with another paired soulbond creature but a creature without souldbond could?  Just doesn't seem right.

Well the answer is yes, as Jester said.

Say you have two paired creatures in play.  One of them has soulbond.  A third creature enters the BF.  The creature in play can bond with this new guy.


Soulbond - (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield.  They remain paired for as long as you control either of them.)

The second part stated they remain paired as long as you control them.  You are breaking the first bond without losing control. 

Also in your example say the third creature entering also has souldbond it says that creature can only pair with an unpaired creature.

Key is : They remain paired for as long as you control either of them.  Just cause a new piece of ass comes along that's more enticing doesn't mean you can just leave your life partner like that.  To prove my point I went and got this from wizards:


When a creature with soulbond enters the battlefield, you may pair it with another unpaired creature you control. When another creature enters the battlefield under your control, if you control a creature with soulbond that isn't currently paired, you may pair it with the new creature.
