Can you target yourself with shroud?

No, you cannot target a creature with Shroud, not even yourself, because Shroud means no player can target that permanent with any spell or ability, including its controller. Shroud prevents all targeting, so you can't use your own spells, equipment, or abilities to target your shrouded creature, but you can still use non-targeting effects like board wipes or effects that force sacrifices on players (not the creature).

Can I target my own creature with shroud?

No, you cannot target your own creature with Shroud because Shroud prevents a permanent or player from being the target of any spell or ability, including your own. This stops you from enchanting, equipping, buffing, or removing it with targeted spells, but non-targeting effects (like board wipes or certain triggered abilities) still work, and you can still block it.

Why would I want shroud over hexproof?

Hexproof means that "your opponents" can not target that permanent, so it is a one- sided effect that gives you so much value ('cause you can target it). Shroud means that "no one" can target that permanent, not even you, so it is a kind of universal protection from targeting.

What does shroud not protect against?

Shroud generally does nothing to prevent deathtouch. Deathtouch is an ability that reads, “when this creature deals damage to another creature, destroy that creature.” Since there's no targeting involved in applying this effect a creature with shroud still dies when it steps on something like Sedge Scorpion.

Can planeswalkers be tapped?

Yes, Planeswalkers can be tapped in Magic: The Gathering, just like any other permanent, but it doesn't usually happen with their loyalty abilities; it becomes relevant when they become creatures (like some Gideon planeswalkers) or for cards that specifically require tapping non-creature permanents, like Honor-Worn Shaku. While tapping a typical Planeswalker doesn't stop you from using its loyalty abilities (as they don't tap for mana or for attacking), it can matter for cards that trigger on permanents tapping or untapping, or for those that turn them into creatures that must tap to attack.

How does a shroud work?

In Magic: The Gathering, Shroud is a keyword ability that prevents a permanent or player from being the target of any spells or abilities, including those from their own controller, making them immune to targeted removal but also preventing beneficial targeting like Auras or Equipment. It's an older mechanic, similar to but stricter than Hexproof, and creatures with Shroud can still be affected by non-targeting effects (like board wipes or "sacrifice" effects) and can block normally.

Does shroud prevent deathtouch?

No, Shroud does not prevent Deathtouch; a creature with Shroud will still die to a Deathtouch creature because Deathtouch deals lethal damage through combat without targeting, and Shroud only stops spells or abilities from targeting a creature, not non-targeted effects like combat damage. Even if a creature has Shroud, any amount of damage from a Deathtouch blocker or attacker is considered lethal, so the Shroud creature dies.

Can deflecting SWAT target itself?

No, Deflecting Swat (or any similar effect) cannot make a spell target itself because of a fundamental rule in Magic: the Gathering (Rule 115.5) that states a spell or ability on the stack is an illegal target for itself. You can, however, use Deflecting Swat to change a Counterspell's target to Deflecting Swat itself, causing the Counterspell to fizzle (be countered) when it tries to resolve because its new target (Deflecting Swat) will have already resolved and left the stack.

What is the 75% rule in Magic The Gathering?

The MTG "75% rule" is a popular, unofficial deck-building philosophy, mainly for Commander, about creating decks powerful enough to compete but not so dominant they ruin the fun for casual players, finding a middle ground in power level by intentionally leaving out the most optimal, expensive, or meta-defining cards. It's about building a deck that's "75% as strong as it can be," allowing it to challenge optimized decks occasionally while still being fair in more casual games, making it adaptable for various playgroups.

Is slow playing ever a good bluff?

Against observant opponents, the frequency of bluffing affects the effectiveness of slow playing, and vice versa. If a player's table image is that of an aggressive bluffer, slow playing is less important because his opponents will be more willing to call his usual bets and raises.

What is rule zero in Magic?

In Magic: The Gathering, especially Commander (EDH), Rule 0 is an unofficial agreement to have a pre-game discussion about house rules, power levels, and desired game experience to ensure everyone has fun, allowing players to modify official rules (like banning combos, allowing silver-bordered cards, or adjusting starting life) to fit their playgroup's preferences. It's essentially a group consensus to create custom "house rules" for a better, more tailored experience, ensuring fun over strict adherence to rules.

Can I target a creature with shroud?

No, you cannot target your own creatures with Shroud in Magic: The Gathering, because Shroud prevents any player (including you) from targeting the permanent with spells or abilities, meaning you can't enchant, equip, pump, or otherwise affect it with anything that uses the word "target". Shroud blocks both opponents and yourself from targeting, making it very protective but also difficult to enhance, unlike Hexproof which only stops opponents.
