Slagstorm I dont thinks so bu no clue Lightning bolt - Yes.
No summoning sickness.
No Rings of Brightherth.
Planeswalker own classification.
Yes are Legendary kinda you can have multiple Planeswalkers just not like Jace Beleren & Jace the Mind Sculpter. Cause both are the Planeswalker - Jace.
Hope helps.

1) a planeswalker is not a player, however for each player damaged this way, you can choose to redirect the damage to any planeswalker they control.

[QUOTE]306.8. If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the first player controls instead. This is a redirection effect (see rule 613.9) and is subject to the normal rules for ordering replacement effects (see rule 615). The opponent chooses whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied. [/QUOTE]

2) planeswalker abilities are indeed activated abilities and Rings of Brighthearth is able to copy them.

3) they are not considered legendary however they have their own version of the same rule where you can only have one instance of a planeswalker type in play. so if you have jace the mind sculptor in play and an opponent plays jace beleren, both planeswalker would go to the graveyard. It's important to note that despite the rule being very similar to the legendary rule they are not the same and any effects that would affect the legendary rule have no impact on the planeswalker rules.(ex: Mirror Gallery)

4)No, you can use a planeswalker abilities on the same turn that it enters play

5) planeswalkers can be targeted as two types: 'permanent' and 'planeswalker'

Thanks for clearing that up.

Though I'm still unsure what version of the rings is correct at this point...

I think I'll go with Seras' version until proven otherwise, if only because I love that card, and this makes it even better ;)

Seras is correct without a doubt if that makes you feel more confident. His reply should actually be made sticky as it's a very nice summary on Planeswalker rules.

His post is 100% correct.

I'm sorry Seras, but you know me, I'm a rules nazi.

Seras is 99% Correct. Planeswalkers do get summoning sickness...but that doesn't matter unless they turn into a creature while they have summoning sickness. So, you can't attack with Gideon the turn you play him.


Everything else is spot on though.

that's a creature-specific rule though, not a planeswalker one.

i didn't cover what happens if you were to turn the planeswalker into a land either :P

lmao


On the topic of Loki being a Rule Nazi, the summoning sickness rule isn't even a rule, it's an informal name reffering to rule 302.6 that deals with activated abilities on creatures and attacking. It has nothing to do with planeswalkers. If you ask me Seras is still 100% correct :)

Bah. Bah I say! Fie on thee and all that rubbish.

fiddle dee dee, that will require a tetanus shot.

:D

You can tell when the question's answered when either the thread dies or it degenerates into rampant (growth) silliness.

I had no clue Rings would work on Planeswalker abilities very sorry didnt believe was activated ability.
