If the same player controls both permanents when Role Reversal resolves, nothing happens.
wotc3 May 2019
Role Reversal’s effect lasts indefinitely. It doesn’t wear off during the cleanup step, and it doesn’t expire if the permanents stop sharing a permanent type after Role Reversal has resolved.
wotc3 May 2019
The permanent types are artifact, creature, enchantment, land, and planeswalker. Supertypes, like legendary, aren’t permanent types. For example, you can’t exchange control of a legendary creature with a legendary planeswalker.
wotc3 May 2019
Gaining control of a permanent doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.
wotc3 May 2019
You don’t have to control either target permanent.
wotc3 May 2019
If one of the target permanents is an illegal target when Role Reversal resolves, the exchange won’t happen.
