Title: Elspeth Tirel
Post by: MattSneaux on June 24, 2012, 03:23:10 AM
Confused on her -5 ability. It says "Destroy all other permanents except for lands and tokens." Would that include her? I think so because of the choice of the phrase "destroy all OTHER permanents" but a friend disagrees.

{elspeth tirel}
"destroy all other permanents" other means not her, then it say "except for tokens and lands" so she won't die

 {Diregraf Captain} for example "All other zombies gain+1/+1" it doesnt make it a 3/3..

A planeswalker is a permanment. Destroy all other means everything but her (and lands/tokens of course)

All true. But if taking off the 5 loyalty tokens reduces her to 0 loyalty, she goes to the gy.

Lol I did elspeth's ultimate at my first ever fnm...someone next to me told me to destroy her "sorry to be a rules stickler but she dies too" he said.

I set that crooked man straight, I did! ;D
