Misdirection Rulings

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If there is no other legal target for the spell, this does not change the target.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    Once the spell resolves, the new target is considered to be targeted by the deflected spell. This will trigger any effects which trigger on being targeted.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    The target of a spell that targets another spell on the stack can be changed to any other spell on the stack, even if the new target will resolve before the spell does.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    This does not check if the current target is legal. It just checks if the spell has a single target.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    This only targets the spell being changed, not the original or new target of the spell it is affecting.
