Attacking Self, Blocking Self

[Seth5000]

So I go a scavenge deck...I use Golgari keyrune to attack myself and was wondering if I can block it with one of my creatures?

[Seth5000]

You can never attack yourself. Only an opponent.

When was that rule changed last I looked while was like 1 year ago you could attack yourself

[Gorzo]

You can hit yourself with spells and abilities that say "target player" but not spells or abilities that say "target opponent," and you can never attack yourself with a creature in combat.

Itd be too easy to make broken combos with lifelink, cards that get bonuses for dealing combat damage, the card that lets you win if you have 1 life etcccxx

[Mikefrompluto]

Hahah imagine the hell that would break loose if you could attack yourself. Insanity.

{rhox faithmender} + lifelink... {gisela, somethig something} the one that halves damage dealt to you(i think) + lifelink.. Uber life

[Malleo]

{rhox faithmender} + lifelink... {gisela, somethig something} the one that halves damage dealt to you(i think) + lifelink.. Uber life

I like that it links to  {One with Nothing}.

[MisterJH]

I was goin for the angel that halves some damage and doubles others.. Whatver

[MisterJH]

{one with nothing} is still a cool card
