Ruling about Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
Asked by FAMOUSWATERMELON 10 years ago
I'm wondering, let's say I have a Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker on the board and I +1 him during my first main. He becomes a 4/4 legendary dragon. Let's say I then cast another Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker during my second main. Will he stay until end of turn because the other one is in "dragon form", or will one of them be sacrificed immediately?

Always check the Gatherer first:
9/20/2014 After the first ability resolves, Sarkhan wont be a planeswalker until the end of the turn. Later that turn, if you cast another Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, neither permanent will be put into its owners graveyard. The legend rule sees only the original Sarkhan and the planeswalker uniqueness rule sees only the new Sarkhan. However, if you activate the first ability of the new Sarkhan, you would then control two legendary permanents with the same name. Youd choose one to remain on the battlefield and the other would be put into its owners graveyard. If you dont activate the first ability of the new Sarkhan, the original Sarkhan will return to being a planeswalker during the cleanup step. You would then control two planeswalkers with the same planeswalker type. Youd choose one to remain on the battlefield and the other would be put into its owners graveyard. There would then be another cleanup step before the turn ended.
