What does target mean in MTG?

A target is a chosen recipient of the effects of a spell or ability. A spell can require you to target a creature, for instance. The text mentioning the target will usually say what sort of thing may be targeted.

Can you play a spell without a target?

A spell may require some targets only if an alternative or additional cost (such as a buyback or kicker cost), or a particular mode, was chosen for it; otherwise, the spell is cast as though it did not require those targets.

Is enchant creature a permanent?

There are five permanent types: artifact, creature, enchantment, land, and planeswalker. Instant and sorcery cards can’t enter the battlefield and thus can’t be permanents. Some tribal cards can enter the battlefield and some can’t, depending on their other card types.

Can I have 2 Planeswalkers out at once?

All planeswalkers are also legendary. This means you can’t have control of two planeswalkers with the same full name at the same time. You can keep both planeswalkers as they have different full names. But if you cast a second Jace, Ingenious Mind Mage, you’ll put one of them into your graveyard..

Is there a limit to how many Planeswalkers you can have?

10. You can have a maximum of four Planeswalkers with the same card name in your deck, just like any other MTG card. You can have more than one of the same type of Planeswalker in your deck, however.

Can a Planeswalker take damage for you?

4 Answers. Neither. Treat your planeswalker as if they are a separate player, one that you can use your creatures to block for. If there is trample damage when your block, that damage goes to your planeswalker, not you.

Can you use a Planeswalker ability on your opponent’s turn?

“You may use planeswalker abilities on any player’s turn any time you could cast an instant.”

Does First Strike stop Deathtouch?

so, yes, a 2/2 with first strike will stop a 5/2 with trample from damaging you and it won’t die to any X/2’s with deathtouch. If first strike damage is enough to kill the creature with deathtouch it never deals damage and as such does not kill the first striker.

Does Hexproof stop Deathtouch?

No it doesn’t. Deathtouch on a creature just means that if that creature deals damage to another creature, be it combat or non-combat, that the creature dealt damage will be destroyed. The deathtouch ability doesn’t target anything so hexproof will not save a creature dealt damage with deathtouch.
