If I have two Privileged Positions on the field, does that mean nothing can affect either of them?

Asked by Kakela 11 years ago

As it says, each other permanent is essentially hexproof, but by "other" does it mean cards not named Privileged Position or the vanilla definition of all other permanents?

If it meant "not named XX", then it would say that. "Other" simply means "not this one", and that means two Privileged Position s is a great idea.

Well, yes and no.

It does mean that each other permanent you control has hexproof (note, by the way, that the current Oracle text for Privileged Position does say "hexproof" now), and each one would grant the effect to the other one, so they each have hexproof as well.

However, it's not accurate to say that "nothing can affect either of them"; hexproof just stops targeted effects. While that's a lot of things, it won't protect against Wrath effects (Day of Judgment , Damnation , Black Sun's Zenith , etc) or things that target you but not the permanents (Cruel Edict , Curse of the Cabal ) or things that don't target at all (All Is Dust ) and things like that.
