Kinda like it in a creatureless deck.

It's a good political card in multiplayer.

There's better option for redirecting damage, but this isn't that bad...

Something I don't understand about the rulings..... they state:

"However, if it's not able to be dealt damage because it's neither a creature nor a planeswalker..."

A planeswalker isn't a creature so couldn't be targeted right? You also can't target a player for the damage to be redirected. So why the reference???

Either i'm missing something or i've just found a new use for this card :-)

@dregoth00 I @ssume they're referring to the planeswalker that turns into a creature, so that it's targeted while it's a creature.

In a creatureless deck, it's actually pretty good. Earthquake and reflect the damage onto a creature a second time, for example.

Indeed, if it's a creature when this targets but not on resolution (I.E. it reverts to a planeswalker) it can still have the damage dealt/redirect to it. If this thing can't actually redirect the damage is the only case where it's countered.

If you only have stuffy dolls it poses quite a conundrum
