Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (10).

  • 2023-09-01If the creature doesn't return to the battlefield or returns as a noncreature permanent, the Wicked Role token won't be created.
  • 2023-09-01If multiple creatures return to the battlefield (possibly because Not Dead After All targeted a melded permanent), a Wicked Role token will be created attached to each of them.
  • 2023-09-01Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.
  • 2023-09-01If a permanent has more than one Role attached to it controlled by the same player, each of those Roles except the one with the most recent timestamp is put into its owner's graveyard. This is a state-based action.
  • 2023-09-01If two or more Roles controlled by the same player become attached to a permanent at the same time (perhaps due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), that player chooses which one to keep and which are put into their owners' graveyards.
  • 2023-09-01A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.
  • 2023-09-01Some spells and abilities that create Role tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Role token won't be created.
  • 2023-09-01In rare cases, a spell or ability might attempt to create a Role token enchanting a permanent that it can't legally enchant (because of an ability like protection from enchantments). In such cases, the Role token isn't created.
  • 2023-09-01Hexproof and shroud won't prevent a Role from becoming attached to a permanent if the ability creating that Role attached to that permanent doesn't target it.
  • 2023-09-01Cards in the Wilds of Eldraine main set create six different Role tokens: Cursed, Monster, Royal, Sorcerer, Wicked, and Young Hero. A seventh Role token, Virtuous, is created by Ellivere of the Wild Court, the commander of the "Virtue and Valor" Commander Deck.
