Too costy, would be great if it were cheaper. Hope they make cheaper reprint of this.

If the source is a creature, try Boros Fury-Shield instead. There's probably better options for non-creature sources also, though the best I can think of off the top of my head is Reverse Damage.

Well, Reverberation may be better against Earthquake, but this would be a fun answer to Crypt Rats or Windstorm.
This card is anything but overpriced. When you consider the only other options people have posted just prevent damage to a single target (you) from a single specific source type, and in some cases how that source deals the damage matters, this is actually amazing.
Let every deck with a Megrim, Pestilence, Dingus Egg/Armageddon, Bloodfire Collossus, Meteor Shower, etc... quiver in fear. In a team game, this card can be the difference between losing your team mates and their entire army, and defeating your opponent in a single turn.

I agree it's too expensive, but I don't think that boros fury shield is much better. First, as was mentioned, the fury shield only works on creatures (and only attacking orb blocking ones). Reflect Damage works on just anything. And it can also prevent damage dealt by creatures with shroud, protection or anything else, since it doesn't target (while fury shield has to be able to target)

a little high cost, but definitely works with the Boros style of play.

Watch your opponent's face realizing they just insta-killed themselves with their Earthquake or any other spell dealing damage to multiple targets...
My eyes are playing tricks on me... I can't find the blue mana symbols in the casting cost.

Commander Question: Due to wording does this damage keep it's type? (Example: If say someone had their commander at 21/21 and attacked me and i cast this spell would the damage remain commander damage thus killing himself due to commander damage. Since it states that it just redirects it's damage to the controller, it seems as if this would be the case. Though it's still not a great effect (Due to having to have their own commander deal 21 damage alone) I have seen this happen before where i could have cast this and basically forced them to one shot themselves. Let me know Thanks!

Game winning surprise card. A shade expensive but always in any r/w deck.
