  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    Cards 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    Hexproof 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    If 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    If 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    If the creature doesn't return to the battlefield or returns as a noncreature permanent, the Wicked Role token won't be created.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    If 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    In 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.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.

  • WotCSep 1, 2023

    Some 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.
