Orbs of Warding

Asked by 1riv1 7 years ago

Orbs of Warding states that you have hexproof and you can not be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. Would Orbs of Warding protect you from Planeswalker Emblems.

It depends on the emblem of the planeswalker. For example, Garruk, Apex Predator's emblem could not hit you. But this doesn't matter for planeswalkers that give their controller (and not an opponent) an emblem such as Tamiyo, Field Researcher.

Orbs of Warding protects you from things that target you. If you play it before a planeswalker uses an ability that gives an emblem to target opponent (such as Garruk, Apex Predator's), you cannot be targeted by that ability. If you play it after you have an emblem, it will do nothing to remove it. It does protect you from being targeted by abilities granted by emblems, such as Arlinn, Embraced by the Moon  Flip's, however it does not protect your creatures from such abilities.
