Official Rulings (9)
Hexproof and shroud wonβt prevent a Role from becoming attached to a permanent if the ability creating that Role attached to that permanent doesnβt target it.
Cards in the Wilds of Eldraine main set create six different Role tokens: Cursed, Monster, Royal, Sorcerer, Wicked, and Young Hero. A seventh Role token, Virtuous, is created by Ellivere of the Wild Court, the commander of the βVirtue and Valorβ Commander Deck.
If a permanent has more than one Role attached to it controlled by the same player, each of those Roles except the one with the most recent timestamp is put into its ownerβs graveyard. This is a state-based action.
A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.
If you don't choose a target for Protective Parents's ability, the Young Hero Role token won't be created.
Some spells and abilities that create Role tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it wonβt resolve. The Role token wonβt be created.
Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.
In rare cases, a spell or ability might attempt to create a Role token enchanting a permanent that it canβt legally enchant (because of an ability like protection from enchantments). In such cases, the Role token isnβt created.
If two or more Roles controlled by the same player become attached to a permanent at the same time (perhaps due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), that player chooses which one to keep and which are put into their ownersβ graveyards.
