1) Yes, this is correct. Similarly, if you attack with three creatures and cast Overrun for example, all damage would be dealt to the planeswalker, even if you inflict more damage than it has loyalty counters.

2) This just means it functions identically to casting a sorcery spell or another permanent without flash. You can cast it at any time during your own main phase, so long as there are no other spells on the stack. Once a stack is created, only instants, spells with flash, or activated abilities may be added to that stack. Once that stack resolves, if it is your main phase, you can proceed to cast the Planeswalker, or use one of its abilities. You can also use its abilities the turn it entered the battlefield.

Also, your main phases do not end until you declare the end of the phase. You can play any number of spells, and use as many abilities as you want during either main phase, provided you have the mana to do so.

3) Emblems last until you either win or lose the game. They cannot be targeted by spells or abilities. They are essentially a replacement to "Until the end of the game..." effects. For example, look at the two prints of Elspeth, Knight-Errant (Links direct you to MagicCards.info: The two prints are from the Duel Deck and Shards of Alara)

Regarding Ajani, yes and yes. Just like any other effect that creates a creature token, the token becomes its own permanent one on the battlefield.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for you response!

So if i lay a planeswalker/use its ability i can still cast other spells and creatures that turn then?

That's right. Your main phase doesn't end until you're ready for it to. You can keep casting spells and activating abilities for as long as you have the resources and desire to, before moving to the next phase.

You cast artifacts, creatures, enchantments, planeswalkers, and sorceries one at a time; you have to wait until one resolves before casting the next. That's a result of the "empty stack" requirement those spells have.


The stack is a way to keep track of "responses" with instants and (most) activated abilities.

For example:

* I cast Iona's Judgment, targeting your Visara the Dreadful. Iona's Judgment goes on the stack.
* In response, you activate Visara's ability, targeting my Baneslayer Angel. Visara's ability goes on the stack on top of Iona's Judgment.
* In response to that, I activate the ability of my Mother of Runes, targeting my Angel. Mom's ability goes on the stack on top of Visara's ability.
* You then respond by casting Reckless Spite, targeting my Mother and Angel. It goes on top of the stack.
* Neither of have any more responses. The stack at this point looks like this:

TOP
Reckless Spite
ability of Mother of Runes
ability of Visara
Iona's Judgment
BOTTOM

When neither of us respond, the top thing on the stack resolves: Reckless Spite destroys my two creatures and you lose 5 life. Now the stack looks like this:

TOP
ability of Mother of Runes
ability of Visara
Iona's Judgment
BOTTOM
(note that the ability of Mother of Runes is still on the stack and will still resolve, even though the Mother herself is no long around)

Now we each get a chance to respond again. If one of us cast or activated something, it would be put on the top of the stack.

But neither of us does, so the top thing on the stack resolves: the Mother's protection ability resolves but its target, the Angel, is no longer legal because it is no longer on the battlefield. Therefore the Mother's ability is countered by the rules and does nothing.

Then another chance to respond, and when we don't the next thing resolves: the ability of Visara, which is also countered because its target is no longer on the battlefield.

Then finally the Judgment resolves and exiles Visara.


See, it's a "stack" because the spells/abilities just stack on top of one another, and resolve one at a time, from the top down.

My question is with garruk can I tap two forest use his ability to untap those two lands and still have the mana from the first floating?

Yes. Just spend it before starting combat or ending your turn, or it will go to waste.
