Lore

Why it matters

This instant card from the Alliances set is a notable common that offers a unique defensive option during gameplay. By allowing a player to redirect damage to a creature of their choice, it introduces a tactical layer of protection that can surprise opponents at the table.

What it does

Until end of turn, target creature you control gains "0 generic mana: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature, planeswalker, or player this turn is dealt to this creature instead." Only you may activate this ability.
