Loyalty: Difference between revisions

The loyalty symbol (without a numeric value)

Loyalty is a characteristic of a Planeswalker, as introduced in Lorwyn.^[1].

Although mechanically similar to life, it is flavorwise not the same. ^[2] ^[3] Damage that would otherwise be fatal doesn't kill a planeswalker. It just discourages him or her from helping you.
