Role Reversal

{U}{U}{R}Sorcery

Exchange control of two target permanents that share a permanent type.

Official rulings

  1. 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. (2019-05-03)
  2. Gaining control of a permanent doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it. (2019-05-03)
  3. 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. (2019-05-03)
  4. You don’t have to control either target permanent. (2019-05-03)
  5. If one of the target permanents is an illegal target when Role Reversal resolves, the exchange won’t happen. (2019-05-03)
  6. If the same player controls both permanents when Role Reversal resolves, nothing happens. (2019-05-03)
