Is there any way to counter a planeswalker ability?

Another question
Is there any way to get rid of an emblem? As I know they are not

Randomeness12

I'm not sure about emblem but you can only counter the card

BcBudds

Not on the battle field....

Sry that last bit got cut out

BcBudds

Or what if a card says 'counter non-creature spell'

Randomeness12

Yea cuz a planeswalker is a non creature permenant

Maximo

I believe {Stifle} and {Voidslime} work.

BlackJester

Counterspells won't work. You need to counter an activated ability, like the cards Max said or {Azorious Guilage} (which may get reprinted soon), {Squelch}, {Trickbind}, {Voidmage Husher}, and {Rimewind Crymamcer}.

Good thing Piotr's spellcheck works. 😉

Also, emblems are placed into the command zone and so far, no spells printed can affect that zone so once an emblem is created, there is no way to remove it.

Which is bull crap. Emblems and poison counters should have a way to be affected. Even commanders are not immune to being messed with on the battlefield.  How do these two get to be free?

Xanzurth

Holy cow talk about a blast from the past. Ok so one card. Only one card can remove poison counters. But everything else multiple was of being removed and emblems are still free.

BlackJester

I think they should both be immune. If you could monkey with poison counters (other than {Leeches}) then it just becomes Life Total #2. Same with Emblems.

You can take out poison with that green infect immunity legendary creature, can't you? And isn't infect basically life total #2?

BlackJester

{Melira, Sylvok Outcast} stops you from getting any more, but {Leeches} aside, poison is irreversible. That's what makes it more interesting. IMHO.

Sweet so you can't get rid of emblems.... Guess I'm making a tamiyo deck =P
