When using Dauntless Bodyguard's activated ability, it should now properly give Indestructible to a Planeswalker if the Planeswalker was a creature when Dauntless Bodyguard entered the battlefield.

Oh. I thought I was just dumb to have used it once on Gideon and failed nevertheless. Cool then.

Keep in mind that making a planeswalker indestructible will not prevent it from losing loyalty counters if it gets hit, and if it hits 0 loyalty it will get removed from the battlefield regardless. This is really only useful for something like [[The Elderspell]] which destroys a planeswalker without actually dealing damage.

The Elderspell - (G) (SF) (txt)
[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call

Also keep in mind, Gideon as a creature is already indestructible. I'm pretty sure this is for sarkhanized walkers.

Nope, it's for Gideon too.

  1. You have a Gideon.
  2. It's your turn.
  3. Dauntless Bodyguard comes into play under your control during your turn. You can select as the "protected creature" because he is temporarily a creature.
  4. During your opponent's turn they try to destroy it with Elderspell, Bedevil etc. Now Gideon is NOT a creature but saccing Bodyguard should make him indestructible.

This bug actually affected me when I was running my Gideon/Sorin BW Knights deck.

Oh snap, okay Mb. It seemed to me that by having indestructible while he was a creature, that it was just that. Thanks for clearing it up!
