My opponent controls Gideon, Champion of Justice . They turn him into a planeswalker creature using his second loyalty ability. I cast Grab the Reins to gain control of him.
My opponent then attacks Gideon, Champion of Justice (since he's a planeswalker). However, he's also a creature, which means he's allowed to block. Can he block the attack that's aimed at him?
Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?

If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.
not sure if crazy hypotheticals are appreciated, but if, after stealing Gideon, your opponent (for some reason; i can't see why they'd want to try to kill their own planeswalker (we're assuming your opponent forgot about the "prevent all damage dealt to Gideon" part) that they'll soon get back!) attacks him, if you're allowed to block with Gideon, you can then Devouring Light him so your opponent doesn't get him back..
who knows, maybe a Planeswalker blocking to protect themselves will be relevant in an actual situation in the future in the meantime, it's a cool weird rules thought experiment.
Other planeswalkers could be turned into creature as well. In fact, every planeswalker can be turned into a creature. Attacking such planeswalker may not be pointless. Blocking with it is not pointless either. The planeswalker would not protect itself, but at least it would hurt the attacking creature.

How to autocard (do this to specify a card in your posts): Type [c]Black Lotus[/c] to get Black Lotus . Type [c=Black Lotus]The Overpowered One[/c] to get The Overpowered One .

wtf?
Planeswalkers do no damage to creatures attacking them. Blocking creatures do!
