My favourite mindgame card of all time. lightning? hijacked. doomblade? highjacked.
but for a way to obliterate any sanity left in an opponent, put it on a stick.

Awesome flavor text. The best against an opponent with only one available mana. So close...

BioPrince, the card you're referring to is actually Redirect.

May seem weak, but keep in mind that most aggro decks want to end the game early, and most red decks have burn spells that they can use on you or your creautres. Lightning Bolt me? I think you mean your Goblin Guide.

Oh yeah, redirection for 1. Can hose Counterspells and Lightning Bolt for almost nothing... i'm getting a playset for sure.

OPPONENT: I pop my Koth of the Hammer into a Banefire for the win!!!!!!!!

ME: You see the untaped island??

OPPONENT: So what it cannot be countered and besides what could you do with one island?

ME: ((drops this)) Respect the island next time buddy.

I think that Redirect would be more useful in general, but I could see this being adequate against very fast burn/weenie decks that seldom leave untapped lands.

Also, the art is hilarious. I can't get over how that wizard chick is just f'ing with that dwarf. His expression is priceless.

Swerve, Spell Pierce style. Both are excellent cards.

Creates two-for-ones very often; even on uncounterable spells. Divert a Hymn to Tourach or a Abrupt Decay and feel like a Legacy God.

For some of you less cultured players, it's pronounced "dih-VEYR".
