Rulings

  • Gaining control of a permanent doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.
  • If one of the target permanents is an illegal target when Role Reversal resolves, the exchange won’t happen.
  • Role Reversal’s effect lasts indefinitely. It doesn’t wear off during the cleanup step, and it doesn’t expire if the permanents stop sharing a permanent type after Role Reversal has resolved.
  • You don’t have to control either target permanent.
  • If the same player controls both permanents when Role Reversal resolves, nothing happens.
  • The permanent types are artifact, creature, enchantment, land, and planeswalker. Supertypes, like legendary, aren’t permanent types. For example, you can’t exchange control of a legendary creature with a legendary planeswalker.
