Do emblems stack?
Asked by abcloganxyz 12 years ago
Say I use Sorin, Lord of Innistrad's -2 one turn and the next turn I use it again...Would my creatures then be getting +2/+0 or no? Im sure this has been asked and some of you may think its a dumb question but oh well. Thanks to whoever does answer this.
Emblems are an interesting part of the Magic game. Currently, there is no way to remove Emblems.
113.1. Some effects put emblems into the command zone. An emblem is a marker used to represent an object that has one or more abilities, but no other characteristics.
113.2. An effect that creates an emblem is written "[Player] gets an emblem with [ability]." This means that [player] puts an emblem with [ability] into the command zone. The emblem is both owned and controlled by that player.
113.3. An emblem has no characteristics other than the abilities defined by the effect that created it. In particular, an emblem has no name, no types, no mana cost, no color, and no expansion symbol.
113.4. Abilities of emblems function in the command zone.
113.5. An emblem is neither a card nor a permanent. Emblem isn't a card type.
Because there is no rule about controlling more than one Emblem, you can control two or more. In this situation, they will stack, and each emblem produced through Sorin, Lord of Innistrad will give each creature you control +1/+0.

Yes they do stack. The emblems each give +1
