Legendary creature interactions??
Asked by roinujo1 9 years ago
If I control a Brimaz, King of Oreskos , and my opponent casts their own Brimaz, King of Oreskos , what happens? Does my Brimaz go to the graveyard? Do both go to the graveyard? Or do both stay on the field?

Can't you also have like two different instances of a card like Isperia the Inscrutable and the other one Isperia, Supreme Judge ?

You're allowed to have both on the battlefield correct? Or no?

Yes. The legend rule cares only about the exact English names of the cards. It doesn't care about whether the cards represent the same character in the lore. That would be impossible and impractical to enforce from a rules perspective.
Planeswalkers, however, are different. The planeswalker uniqueness rule cares about the planeswalker subtypes, which effectively represent characters in lore.

Both stay on the field.
For a while, only one instance of a given legendary permanent could exist on the battlefield. Since the M14 rules update, however, each player may control one instance of a given legendary permanent. The same principle was also applied to planeswalkers.
