Divine Deflection Rulings

5 most recent
  • May 1, 2012 Divine Deflection can prevent damage from multiple sources dealing damage simultaneously (such as during combat). If the chosen value for X won’t prevent all the damage, you choose which sources to prevent damage from.
  • May 1, 2012 Divine Deflection can prevent damage that would be dealt to you, one or more creatures you control, and/or one or more planeswalkers you control.
  • May 1, 2012 Divine Deflection’s effect is not a redirection effect. If it prevents damage, Divine Deflection (not the original source) deals damage to the targeted permanent or player as part of that prevention effect. Divine Deflection is the source of the new damage, so the characteristics of the original source (such as its color, or whether it had lifelink or deathtouch) don’t affect this damage. The new damage is not combat damage, even if the prevented damage was.
  • May 1, 2012 Divine Deflection’s only target is the permanent or player it may deal damage to. You choose that target as you cast Divine Deflection, not at the time it prevents damage.
  • May 1, 2012 If Divine Deflection can’t deal damage to the targeted permanent or player (because the creature is no longer on the battlefield, or is no longer a creature, or the player is no longer in the game, for example), it will still prevent damage. It just won’t deal any damage itself.
