Where it came from
Deflecting Palm was originally released in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering set Khans of Tarkir, designed to represent the tactical flexibility of the Mardu Horde clan. The card's mechanics allow a player to redirect damage back to its source, a thematic nod to the martial prowess and redirection techniques favored by the fierce warriors of the Tarkir setting.
This specific promotional version, designated as number 173s, was distributed as a participation reward or tournament prize. The artwork, consistent with the set's stylistic direction, emphasizes the high-action, combat-oriented aesthetic of the Mardu. It remains a well-regarded piece among players for its unique reactive gameplay capability, which forces opponents to rethink aggressive strategies in competitive formats.
