Refraction Trap Rules Text & Legality
Refraction Trap
If an opponent cast a red instant or sorcery spell this turn, you may pay {W} rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Prevent the next 3 damage that a source of your choice would deal to you and/or permanents you control this turn. If damage is prevented this way, Refraction Trap deals that much damage to any target.
Refraction Trap is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Refraction Trap Rulings
- Mar 1, 2010
If Refraction Trap doesn’t prevent any damage (perhaps because a different prevention effect is applied to the damage the source would deal, or because the damage is unpreventable), Refraction Trap won’t deal any damage itself.
- Mar 1, 2010
If the chosen source would deal damage, Refraction Trap prevents 3 of that source’s damage and the source deals its excess damage (if any) at the same time. Immediately afterward, as part of that same prevention effect, Refraction Trap deals its damage. This happens before state-based actions are checked, and before the spell or ability that caused damage to be dealt resumes its resolution.
- Mar 1, 2010
If the chosen source would simultaneously deal damage to multiple permanents you control, or would simultaneously deal damage to you and at least one permanent you control, you choose which of that damage to prevent. For example, if the chosen source is Earthquake, you might choose to prevent the next 2 damage it would deal to you and the next 1 damage it would deal to a creature you control. You don’t decide until the point at which the source would deal its damage.
- Mar 1, 2010
If the targeted permanent or player is an illegal target by the time Refraction Trap resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No damage will be prevented.
- Mar 1, 2010
Refraction Trap can prevent damage that would be dealt to you, one or more creatures you control, and/or one or more planeswalkers you control.
