If it weren't for the obscenely high cost...

You may choose new targets for target spell.

It's called Redirect actually.
But yeah, it is so much better than this clássic. (And easier to cast than Swerve as well.)
Half the cost, and it can change the targets of any spell - multiple targets.
Who cares for deflecting a Banefire for 3Blue if you can now redirect a whole Fireball for BlueBlue instead?

It gets major points for being the original "Change Targets" card, not counting the awful Reflecting Mirror.

However, Redirect has made this card almost worthless.
4/5 for inventing a wonderful mechanic, but Redirect gets the 5/5 here.

I had originally rated this card as 5/5 because I love crazy effects like changing targets, but then I realized how much cheaper Redirect is. I still think this is a wicked fun card to pull on someone, though.
