Planeswalker Removal
Cards able to remove opposing planeswalkers, whether by destroying them outright like Hero's Downfall, Dreadbore, and Bedevil, hitting any permanent type like Vindicate, wiping multiple planeswalkers at once like The Elderspell, or dealing damage to them via burn whose targeting line reads "any target" like Lightning Bolt. Also includes mass answers that take down all nonland permanents such as Planar Cleansing. Narrower view of removal.spot_removal focused on the planeswalker-targeting subset; distinct from removal.burn, which covers damage-based answers regardless of whether the targeting line can reach a planeswalker. Cards that only read "target creature" or "target creature or player" do not qualify, since modern rules require explicitly targeting the planeswalker.
